Chapter 127

"I'm so devastated when I found out that Aleeya -my daughter- was seriously ill because I'm the cause. I deeply regret everything that happened, but I still can't imagine and accept all the crimes that I have committed. I feel so unworthy! Just imagining it gives me goosebumps. Turns out I was very cruel," said Hans. His curly eyelashes were wet, it looked like he was holding back tears.

"I have a hard time accepting myself," he continued.

"What do you mean? What I'm asking, what are you saying! So it's because all your disdain for yourself made you compose this crazy stunt, huh, and you're pretending to lose your mind to be pitied?" Steven accused.

Hans glared at Steven.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I should be the one angry here," Steven said when he realized that Hans was staring at him very sharply.
