Chapter 1617 Futility

• The time he spent with Hugo was one of the rare moments of peace in his childhood, and despite his father’s absence, both he and his mother gradually seemed to forget about him. They lived a quiet life on their own, away from the tumult of the larger world.
• Years later, when Aron reflected on his childhood, he could still recall how Hugo silently accompanied both him and his mother. But that peace did not last long...
• Aron vividly remembered one winter’s night, when his mother carried him, who was asleep, in her arms. Hugo was carrying their luggage, and instead of taking the elevator, they descended the stairs, exiting through the back door of the villa.
