Chapter 8

He quickly called for an ambulance, then phoned Asher, "Son, something's happened to your mom!"

After saying this, he passed out.

He could so easily hurt his daughter-in-law for the sake of his grandson, yet when it came to his own wife, he couldn't bear the thought of any harm coming to her.

When Asher arrived at the hospital and learned that his mother had died due to delayed treatment an hour after collapsing, he nearly lost his mind.

"How could this happen? My mom was always so healthy, how could a simple fall take her life?"

When Mr. Blakely regained consciousness and heard the news, he looked at Asher with bloodshot eyes, "Son, I can't go on living without your mother. You must find the person responsible for hurting her!"

Asher had never seen his father so distraught before.

This, he realized, was what true lifelong partners looked like.

But what had he done? His father had set such a good example, so why had he let go of the person who loved him with all her heart?
