Chapter 990 Embracing Vulnerability Like Fine Jade (Part One)

• Chadwick Fullner had no intention of sharing his current thoughts and feelings with his father directly, as he knew it would only cause his father more worry. Instead, he simply smiled and reassured him, saying, "I understand, Dad, don't worry."
• He found himself lacking the appetite and mood to eat any further, a sentiment mirrored by his father. After finishing his meal, he tidied up his bowl and chopsticks, then encouraged his father to retire early for the night.
• Sleep eluded both of them that night. Chadwick Fullner remained awake, unable to drift off. In the dead of night, he rose to use the bathroom and noticed that his father's door was slightly ajar. Through the crack, he could hear his father tossing and turning, accompanied by heavy sighs. It appeared that his father was even more troubled than he was.
