“Will you turn your back on me again?”

“I’m sorry…” Victor blamed himself for making his son feel this way.

“I promise I won’t abandon you again.”

It seemed that his words struck Joey so much that he burst into tears once more.

Victor stood up and began to walk towards him.

However, before he could even get close, the boy had already run to him and hugged him, then bit him on the arm.

It was a soft, playful bite as his warm tears fell on his father’s arm.

Stroking Joey’s back gently with his other hand, Victor held Joey close and whispered, “I’m so sorry, Joey.”

“You promised… You can’t break your promise.” The boy cried so hard that he couldn’t breathe well.

He stammered as he expressed his grudges.

“Or I’LL make sure you lose all your money, then you’ll be lonely.

And if you get caught doing bad things again, I won’t bail you out.”

Hearing his son warn him like this, Victor felt guilty.

In fact, he was even amused that this boy had thought of it.

“Okay.

Let me protect you and your mommy from now on,” Victor replied.

With his arms wrapped around his father’s neck, Joey recalled what

Hector said earlier.

He loosened his grip on Victor and asked him with furrowed brows, “Haven’t you recovered yet? Are you in pain?

Tell me where it hurts.”

As Victor fixed his eyes on the boy that was the spitting image of him, a faint smile appeared on his face.

“I’m fine.”

“Really?” Every time that Joey remembered the scene when Victor jumped off the building with him in his arms, cold sweat would break out on his back.

In his mind, there was no way he could be fine.

After all, that was a narrow escape.

Victor ended up lying in the hospital for almost two months.

During that time, he still did his job and worked hard.

He was still trying to recover from the injury when he got taken to the police station for the investigation.

Fortunately, his injuries didn’t seem to worsen.

“Yes.” Victor nodded.

“I’m not that weak.”

After making sure that Victor was fine, Joey felt relieved and embraced his father again.

As his arms were wrapped around Victor, something flashed through his mind.
