Chapter 119

• Alone in the room of the trusted Grisham family home, Leonel pondered deeply, especially after Chris's lengthy and painful words. Although Chris often said those things, reminding him of the reality he faced, Leonel usually didn't pay much attention. But this time, Chris's words struck a chord in his heart. They made him reflect, lost in his thoughts, accompanied only by the clock ticking on the Grisham family's living room wall.
• "Why can't he provide some comfort? Even just a little, at least tell me that I've been doing well all this time. He knows that I still constantly think about Chloe. I can still work well. Mountain has risen again. Why are his words so hurtful?" Leonel mumbled to himself, bewildered. "No wonder he's called the reluctant lawyer. God must have given him a tongue as sharp as a newly sharpened knife. He's so skilled at hurting people with his words." Leonel muttered softly, his lips curling in annoyance at Chris, who had retreated to his room.
• Once again, he fell into silence, staring at the room's white ceiling dominated by its color. "Should I go to Beverly Hills? Should I meet Chloe? And what will I say then? Chloe will surely laugh at me for still hoping for her."
