Chương 566: Chapter 566: Who is Born Tough

"Dad, I'm already... I'm already grateful that you can still stand up for me," Cindy Clarke sobbed, "After all... it's been years, years since anyone stood up for me."

These words hit Joshua Clarke hard.

He knew that Cindy wasn't just talking about these past five years.

Even when she was at home in the past, he wasn't able to protect her.

Joshua Clarke's heart was filled with guilt.

"You don't know, when I was thrown out of the hotel five years ago, I really... I really knew that from then on, I would only have myself to rely on. At that time, I told myself that no matter what happens in the future, I have to grit my teeth and soldier on."

"I've been surviving for 19 years, and I'm sure I can make it through the years to come. When I first came to Belfard alone, there was a period when I was so miserable I wanted to kill myself, to end everything. That way, I wouldn't have to struggle so hard anymore."
