Chapter 34: Please, God! Send a heavenly retribution and end my life!

Back at the water slide, the Smith family were having the time of their lives. Their laughter and shouts filled the air, each descent adding to their joy and washing away the day's worries.

Hirvan had no choice but to try every type of water slide as Sheryl insisted. The rush of adrenaline made his mind buzz, and his earlier tensions evaporated like mist in the morning sun, replaced by the exhilarating rush of the cool water and the thrill of speeding down the slides.

After several rounds, they decided to take a break. Panting and dripping wet, Hirvan made his way to the poolside, where he finally felt a sense of calm settle over him. The air was filled with the sound of splashing water and the happy chatter of other guests, but Hirvan was distracted. Throughout the afternoon, one thought swirled in his mind: What if he came clean to his sons?

Fu Yan managed to extricate himself from Sheryl's persistent questioning and joined Hirvan by the poolside.
