"Couldn't persuade him?" After Carolline drank half a can of beer, Henry Ruiz casually mentioned the matter.
Today, after Carolline found out about Bryan Hawkins from his words, she ran away. He knew that his daughter must have gone to find Bryan with the intention of convincing him to accept treatment.
At the time, he thought Carolline's trip would be fruitless. As a father, he understood his daughter all too well, knowing that once she had made up her mind to do something, nothing could stop her. So, he decided not to play the bad guy.
It would be better to let Carolline hit a wall and then rethink her choices.
Besides, he wasn't very familiar with Bryan Hawkins, but his impression was that the man wouldn't be easily persuaded, which was why he didn't say more at the time.
"Dad, can we not talk about such a disheartening matter?" Carolline rolled her eyes, feeling a bit upset.
