Ethan Hopkins, wincing in pain, was filled with regret for his impulsive actions.
He was sure that if he didn't perform well this time, Nicholas would never help him again.
"Second brother, I was wrong. I really was." Ethan Hopkins' handsome face was full of fear. "It was an accident, really, just an accident. I was too worried about Gabriel. You saw what happened just now, how upset Gabriel was. If anything happened to her, I wouldn't want to live either."
"Do you not want to live, or do you not want Ivy to live?" Nicholas Thompson's voice was faint, like a voice coming from far away.
Ethan Hopkins felt a jolt in his heart.
Every word Nicholas said was pointed at him.
