Ethan rushed to grab Erina. "Erina, you're your father's pride. If he were still alive, he'd surely love you."
Erina wriggled so hard to break free from his grasp. Then, she slapped him. "Bastard! You're sorry to
Mom, and you hurt your wife! I hate you, I hate you!"
She ran away, and Brent followed. "Leave it to me, Mr. Miller."
One of Ethan's hands covered his cheek. It didn't hurt, but he couldn't help the overflowing sorrow.
Before this, he desperately wished to protect Kurt's family so much that he even brought his own family
in harm's way.
In the end, Fabian repaid the favor the other way round and Marina lost everything.
Even Olivia, whom he vowed to protect, was marred with scars.
Gradually, his knees knelt to the ground.
Just how much of a failure his life was to fail to protect no one?
Kelvin patted Ethan's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Mr. Miller. There's no win-win in life. No one can own

Sitting on the mat, he began analyzing seriously. "Think about it. Ms. Erina is turning nine soon. She's
mature enough. If you don't clear things up right now, the misunderstanding is bound to deepen as time
passes.
"You've protected her from those awful rumors and accusations well enough. Although you could've
lied to her forever, we know what's best. You can't sustain the fairy tale for her forever.
"You have children. What would they think when they see another kid call you 'Dad'? Telling Ms. Erina
the whole truth is only a matter of time or it'll only serve as a path to destruction to her. The same goes
for your children. When that happens, you won't be able to resolve either side."
Kelvin voiced his opinion in the heat of the moment.
Realizing Ethan's gaze on him, Kelvin covered his mouth.
Kelvin let out a wry laugh. "Oops! A slip of the tongue. But I do have a point, don't I? You should lay out
the truth when Ms. Erina is mature enough to take it. It'll hurt at the moment, but that's better than
suffering for a lifetime.
"If you didn't do so, what will she think of you when she sees you with Mrs. Miller? Betrayer. A betrayer
to his marriage and family. She's too sensitive. That'll take a toll on her mentality in the long term.
"You've done everyone a favor by telling her the truth today. Mrs. Miller won't get angry at you because
of your hesitance anymore. And you'll be able to return to your children with your head held high.
"It's inevitable for Ms. Erina to be sad for now, but she'll understand your circumstances someday. Mr.
Miller, do you know why things ended up that way for you and Mrs. Miller?
"Most of the time, the problem was you. You could've done your part in communication better. How
would Mrs. Miller know when you said nothing at all? Women's imaginations can be wild.
"If you had explained your relationship with Marina to Mrs. Miller from the start, things wouldn't have
come this far. Don't you think so?
"Honesty is the key to a long-lasting marriage. If you genuinely wish for Mrs. Miller to change her mind
regarding the remarriage, stop acting on your own," Kelvin reasoned.

Kelvin slapped his hand over his mouth. "I... I was just spouting nonsense. Don't mind me."
"For the first time ever, you sound like a normal person."
Kelvin's head buzzed with confusion.
Meanwhile, excitement and vehement emotions stirred in Marina. Her cheeks were red.
She watched Olivia get busy with the medicines. She then approached Marina with her face against the
lights.
Suddenly, some of Marina's emotions gave way to uneasiness. For a brief moment, she thought she
saw that familiar face again.
Impossible. Why would she show up here?
Right then, the sound of metal clicking resounded. There were handcuffs around the operating table,
and they secured her limbs!
"Dr. Vanessa, what's this for?"
"To prevent you from moving around." It was Olivia's original voice.
