[Ellie's P.O.V.]

I had to advise Anton because I knew that regardless of what the truth was, his relationship with his father could never be restored. Any inclinations of us forgiving him had vanished in an instant, and there was no going back from there. 

"You're right. I shouldn't continue like this. No matter how difficult things get, I have to find evidence to prove Panse is guilty." Anton wiped the sweat off his face. "I hate him, I want him punished by law."

Since he had already thought it through, I didn't say anything else as I walked to his side, gently patted his back, and hugged his head in my arms.
