119. Spilling Regret
“I am the real bastard, Max. Not you," Julian said before swallowing hard. "For fear of being dumped, I made up a story that made Papa believe that you weren't his son."
After giving the confession, the man sobbed louder. His narrowed throat started to burn. "I'm sorry, Max. I didn't expect my lies to go this far.”
In the midst of his brother's tears, Max laughed blandly. With teary eyes, he looked away. "You idiot," he mumbled, successfully stopping Julian's blinking.
"Why are you laughing? I'm not lying, Max. You are Herbert's biological son. You're part of the real Evans family," the older brother said hoarsely.
"I already know."
Hearing the statement, Julian's tears suddenly stopped. After a few breaths, sending oxygen to clear his head, he shook his head for an explanation.
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly, Max looked up, holding back tears from crossing the line. After taking a deep breath, he looked back at his brother.

"Get out of the way," Max said coldly and flatly. Hearing the unexpected voice, Julian looked up and raised an eyebrow. Without wasting any time, the man knelt before his little brother. “I know that my mistakes are too big to be forgiven. It's okay if you don't want to. But please, just this once, listen to what I say. Go home, see Dad! He really wants to meet you.” Instead of turning to his brother's gaze, Max looked away and snorted. “Really inconsistent. Ten seconds ago, you begged me for forgiveness. Now, you're asking for something else instead?" “Because Dad's condition is very critical, Max. I don't want him to leave without seeing you as his son. I won't be able to bear that regret," Julian said with tightly clenched fists. For the first time, Max witnessed his older brother putting his ego aside. For the first time too, the coward man managed to conquer fear. Realizing it, the younger brother didn't know whether to be proud or ashame

"Max?" Gabriella called when she found the house deserted. With her eyes open warily, the woman came in to check her husband's desk.Instead of finding Max, she was greeted by Julian's sobs. Seeing the red-eyed man wailing in regret, the woman's heart immediately thumped."Where's Max?" she asked with round eyes and ragged breaths.Unexpectedly, Julian shed more tears and dropped his knees to the floor. "I'm sorry, Gabriella. I am truly sorry for the misfortunes that befell you.”"What misfortune?" the woman asked in a higher voice.“I'm sorry I supported my father's plan to take Max down. If only I had opposed it, Max wouldn't have been kicked out of the company and had the accident. You will not move here and still be with your child.”Gabriella looked at Mia who was also furrowing her brows. After reading the same confusion, she returned to her brother-in-law. "Where is Max?""Please forgive me, Gabriella."

While holding back the rumbling in his chest, Max stepped quickly into the ICU room. Along the way, he kept thinking about what to say when he arrived in front of his father. Should he say hello, say everything will be okay, or apologize? Nothing felt right to express his feelings."Sir," Minnie sighed when she noticed the man's arrival. With teary eyes, the woman pointed towards the door. "Your father is waiting."Without a chance to say thank you, Max nodded and rushed to the door. His pace was so fast. He had never faced such a tense moment in his life.However, as the door opened, his steps slowed down. The air had grown heavier. It took more effort for Max to be able to go through. After taking a quick breath and clenching his fists tightly, he went closer to the bed.The first second Max's eyes caught the image of his father, he suddenly caught the breath. His chest tightened with a feeling that was hard to describe. The old man's condition was much

Max couldn't stay still. He kept walking back and forth, clutching his head. Every now and then, he sighed, hoping the pressure in the chest would ease. Unfortunately, the fear in his mind became clearer."Max," Gabriella sighed as she couldn't bear to see her husband's restlessness.Hearing the woman's soft voice, the man finally changed the direction and stopped in his wife's arms.“What should I do, Gaby? I still have a lot to talk with Dad. I haven't told him about our Little Prince, or said thank you. I've only hugged him for a minute,” Max whispered, spilling anxiety.Receiving such a confession, the woman's brows furrowed deeper. Gently, she rubbed her husband's back."Let's just pray that he will survive, Max," Gabriella said in a low voice. The woman didn't know if her words were of any use, but she couldn't stand still.“I should have come to see him earlier, Gaby. It wouldn't be this bad," the man regretted as he

"So, the results of my medical evaluation meet the requirements, Doc?" Max asked with his eyebrows raised to the max. "Yes," the doctor nodded firmly. "I will prepare for the transplant operation as soon as possible." A sigh of relief suddenly blew into the air. A second later, Max turned to the woman who was still holding her hand tightly. "Don't worry, Gaby. I'll be fine," the man said as he knew the meaning behind the curve of his wife's stiff lips. "That's right, Madam. You don't have to worry. Your husband has a fit body. Donating a small part of his liver will not cause any problems,” the doctor said reassuringly. With slightly pursed lips, Gabriella released the pressure in her lungs. "I hope this operation will go smoothly," she said in a thin voice. In a sudden, Max caressed and kissed his wife's head. "Amen. Now, how about we visit Dad? I want to see him before we go home and rest.” Gabriella nodded. After tha

"Don't worry, Gaby. I'll come back to you," Max said to the woman who was struggling to hold back tears. The bed was almost at the door, but his wife was still reluctant to let go of his hand."You have to wake up as usual," Gabriella whispered with furrowed brows."Yes. Then, we will immediately invite the Little Prince,” the man sighed with a faint smile.When the door to the operating room opened, Gabriella finally loosened her grip. With a heavy heart, she watched her husband was pushed away until her vision was blocked by the door.“There is no need to worry, Madam. Your husband will be fine," Minnie said as she shifted to the woman's side."I don't know why, but my heart is uneasy," Gabriella admitted with a stiff look."It's just your feeling, Madam. You must love Mr. Evans too much, so worrying becomes excessive," Mia said in helping her mother calm Gabriella.Seeing the support from two people beside her, the woma

"What's wrong, Madam?" Mia asked with furrowed brows, not understanding.Without giving an answer, Gabriella walked over with a bag full of "weapons". However, before she had gone far, the secretary restrained her pace."Madam, where are you going?" the girl asked, still confused."Someone sent a strange message," Minnie interjected with hands clasped together.“Yes, and I have to catch him,” Gabriella implied before swinging her legs again.However, when she took one step forward, the secretary had pulled her back.“Please don't be rash, Madam,” Mia said with a small frown at the base of her brow.A second later, the girl grabbed the woman's cell phone and checked the message. After a glance, a quick sigh escaped from her mouth."Who else is this?" she muttered before gritting her teeth.“That must be the criminal who attacked Max, Mia. I have to stop him,” Gabriella said as she took

"Is that true?" Gabriella exclaimed happily.After receiving confirmation from the other side of the cellphone, the woman glanced at her husband with sparkling eyes. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and nodded lightly. "Okay, thank you, Auntie."As soon as Gabriella lowered the phone, Max immediately grabbed his wife's hand. "Is Dad's operation finished?" he asked hopefully."Yes. The operation went smoothly. Dad is being transferred to the ICU. If the monitoring results for the next few days are good, he can go home," Gabriella explained with a wide arch of lips."I hope his body can accept my heart and there is no complication," Max muttered in a prayer.A second later, the woman nodded in agreement. She was happy because her worries turned out to be unfounded."Sleep now, Max. You need a lot of rest," Gabriella said while caressing his husband's cheek.Without warning, the man's expression turned flat. After a moment of
