Chapter 70: Has he really never taken care of her?

"..." Arthur Lindsey was silent, his obsidian-like eyes seeming to be filled with torrential rain.

All these years, hadn't he truly taken care of her?

Yes, even his own parents thought the same.

"If heaven gave you another chance, would you like to be her guardian?" Penny Sullivan suddenly wiped away her tears and asked.

"..." Arthur kept silent.

Guardian, what does that mean?

It means to take full responsibility for her birth, old age, sickness, and death, legally bound.

He asked himself, with his power and capability, to protect a girl would be a piece of cake.

However, he didn't want to put it out in the open.

That had once been something he did silently for her behind the scenes.

"Son, can't you answer even one 'if'?" Penny asked challengingly.

Arthur looked at Ella Lacey with her eyes tightly closed, her beautiful lashes no longer fluttering as if she had really gone.

He finally relented, "Mom, I'm willing."
