After leaving the bar and just as Kenneth reached the entrance, a car stopped in front of him.
Fabian stepped out and immediately walked over to Kenneth when he saw the latter.
“Mr. Hamilton...”
He was about to say something, but after seeing the blood on the other man's hands and abdomen, he furrowed his brows.
“What happened to you, Mr. Hamilton?”
Kenneth strutted forward with a look of indifference. “It's nothing.”
“What do you mean nothing? Your wound has split open, and you have to go to the hospital to have it stitched up again now,” Fabian replied.
Kenneth acted as though he did not hear anything and continued walking.
Why can't I get drunk after drinking so much alcohol? Why hasn't the pain in my body made me forget her for a moment, even when I've bled so much? Natasha...
Recalling her words earlier that day and the thought that she could fall for someone else made his heart ache uncontrollably.
He never knew this was how heartache felt, and it was for a woman.
Kenneth suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked at the sky with bloodshot eyes as his lips curled into a smile.
I suddenly realized something. I think I truly fell into the trap. I've fallen in love with Natasha!
The discovery excited him, but he also found it laughable.
When she was mine in the past, I didn't cherish her. But now... I fell in love with her.
Kenneth scoffed. It's as though the heavens are playing a joke on me!
“Fabian?”
“Yes?” “How many chances do you think we can get in a lifetime?”
There was no way Fabian could tell what he was referring to, so he hesitantly replied, “In a person's lifetime... They'll certainly have many opportunities and face them at every stage. Opportunities will not slip away. It all depends on whether the person can seize it!”
Hearing his words, Kenneth turned to look at him. “Really?”
“Take me as an example. I had been abandoned by my parents when I was a child, and I ventured out into the world alone. If I hadn't met you that time, I would probably end up beaten to death. You presented me with an opportunity to follow you back then, but I thought you were a liar and rejected you. When I met you again and found out who you are... didn't you still give me another chance?” Fabian replied.
It was because of this that Fabian chose to follow Kenneth loyally, for no other reason than the latter giving him a chance to lead a
new life.
Kenneth narrowed his eyes.
He had almost forgotten about those matters from the past.
However, after hearing Fabian's words, he felt that the former had made a good point.
Does that mean that there's still hope for me and Natasha?
His lips quirked up at that thought. He looked at Fabian. “Would you like to have a drink?”
“Huh?”
“Let's go. It's on me.” Upon noticing that there was another bar ahead, Kenneth got up and wanted to step in.
Seeing that, Fabian immediately went forward to stop him. “You mustn't drink anymore, Mr. Hamilton!”
“What's the matter? Are you planning to interfere with my matters now? Why don't I let you be the boss instead?” Kenneth questioned as he looked at the other man.
Despite those words, Fabian knew that it was merely Kenneth's strategy.
“Look at the state of your injuries, Mr. Hamilton. You must go to the hospital and have it stitched up at once!”
However, Kenneth turned a deaf ear to him and got up to go in.
