Chapter 68. Amelia Knows the Truth

Ulysses' POV

“What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It’s all your fault.”

Ellie hates me and I can’t blame her. It was my mistake that took away the lives of the people close to her... Ellie’s only family.

Because of me, Ellie became an orphan. She needs to take on difficulties and responsibilities at an early age. I am proud of how strong she became, but I am also mad at myself because she could have avoided this kind of loneliness and hardship if it wasn’t for me. 

I keep on asking myself why did I do that?! Why did I try to beat the red light?! I should have waited! I was able to wait for her for five years, but why can’t I wait for a minute or two? 

If I stop and wait for the green signal, then her parents will be able to attend their only daughter’s graduation and still be alive until now.

I wish I could turn back the time, but I know I can’t. All I can do right now
