Day Seventy-Seven…
~~*****~~
Maximilian Carlsen was slowly recovering. However, he didn't have the will to continue living after finding out his real daughter was gone. He was no longer talking to anyone. He didn't have an appetite to eat. He won't allow anyone to see him, including Monica.
'I've been so foolish. I failed to protect my daughter. Whom should I blame for this?' He asked himself.
He had to admit that he had no power to fight Vincent and Monica. He was just a pawn in their games. "I should have just died. I can't continue living like this." Maximilian was venting out his frustration.
He was lost in his thoughts when someone knocked outside the door. He didn't say a word. He just stared at the closed door blankly. After a few seconds, the door slid open and an unexpected visitor entered his room.
"Chairman Xu? Why are you here?" Maximilian wasn't expecting Old Man Xu's arrival.
