บท 1589: A Sister

"I raised my children well and I taught them not to depend on any help, especially anything that comes from you.

I was stupid back then. I worked my ass off just to disprove some assholes who said I got here because of you or my mother.

You always visited me when you had the time but I was the one who kept our meetings short."

Varian covered his face and gritted his teeth, trying to hold back his tears.

"Maybe you noticed and respected my decision or maybe you didn't delve deep into it.

But I was avoiding you a bit and even my mother too.

I wanted to…prove myself first.

I thought…we'd have all the time in our world.

I was wrong.

You disappeared without warning and my mother busier than ever.

And then, the children grew up. And they had children.

The world was changing, new tides were rising. I tried to become the best in my field and I drowned in my career.
