A cargo ship that traveled from Chatterton Town to Country A fought with the wind and waves on the sea and moved at a fast speed.
In the innermost side of the cargo ship, there was a small room for the crew to rest in. The room was not big, and it was full of storage items, which made it even more crowded.
If two burly men walked in the room they would not be able to even turn around. One could imagine how small the room was.
At this time, the room was filled with the smell of medicine, and a lot of blood-stained medical gauze and bandages were scattered on the ground.
Master Perth stood in front of the small bed. He stared at the big boy lying on the bed and said angrily, "Look at you! Still thinking about going back? Do you want to die?"
Lionel's abdomen was covered with gauze and the wounds had been treated, but he was still very weak. He barely had any energy to speak.
He had already put up his requirements and did not intend to pay any attention to Zuriel Perth.
Lionel's silence made Master Perth angrier. "My Third Young Master, if you don't care about your life, you still have to think about the First Madam. She only has you as her son. If something happened to you, what should she do? If it weren't for me tracking those people and saving you by chance, you would have already been dead."
The relationship between Master Perth and Lionel was a relationship between a superior and a subordinate. However, they spoke like friends. When they were angry, they were honest with their words and expressions.
Lionel kept his eyes closed and did not say anything.
Master Perth added, "You said that Karen Joy Kyle saved your life, and in return, you have already given her your life. What else do you want? Do you want to die in front of her? Is that how you want to repay her kindness?"
"I have promised her that I will accompany her and grow up with her." Lionel opened his mouth and said slowly but surely.
He had promised Little Karen that he would grow up with Little Karen. As long as he was alive, he must keep his promise.
Master Perth was so angry that he punched on the wall and shouted, "You may remember your promise to a child. Have you forgotten the promise you made to your mother? Are you going to let her face everything alone? She is your own mother. How could you?"
Lionel: "..."
He had promised his mother that after his father retired, he would try his best to take over the position as the President, and he would never let his mother down.
However, he had almost forgotten this vow!
Because of this child, he had forgotten his promise to his mother, and forgotten how big his responsibility was.
Maybe it wasn't Little Karen's fault, maybe it was because he wanted to live the life he deeply wanted, away from ruthless politics and evil schemes.
But Zuriel reminded him that he was not alone. He still had his lonely mother and his responsibilities. He could not afford to be capricious.
Seeing Lionel's expression change, Master Perth continued, "Karen Joy is only a four-year-old child. What does she know? Without you by her side, as long as she needed a playmate, her parents can find a lot of people to play with her. If she does not see you anymore, she will soon forget about you. When she grows up in the future, she may not remember a person like you in her life."
Master Perth added, "Third Young Master, without you by her side, there are a lot of people to still love her very much. But think about your mother. What else does she have besides you? When you were born, all her hopes were pinned on you. If you don't go back, are you really going to let her face everything alone?"
Hearing Zuriel's words, Lionel closed his eyes again. But this time, it was different. Previously, he closed his eyes because he didn't want to pay any attention to Zuriel.
But this time, it was a compromise!
