When Charlie heard this, he no longer knew what to say.
It sounded as if Janus had given up so much for love, but in the end, it had turned out to be all for nothing.
It could even be said that he had lost both his wife and his army.
Moreover, he was originally an elite amongst elites back in Hong Kong. His father was even willing to make sacrifices for him. Therefore, his original life was with unlimited prospects.
However, he not only had to give up everything that he had in the end, but he had also offended a rich and powerful man whom he could not afford to mess with. It was so much so that he was unable to return to Hong Kong or even live in the United States with a reasonable and legal identity.
An elite class who was at the top of society could only smuggle himself into the United States and be nestled in the dilapidated Oskiatown for more than twenty years alongside many Oskians who were working in Oskiatown illegally.
It would not be too much to say that his life had been ruined by his own decision.
As he thought of this, Charlie could not help but ask him, "Uncle Janus, have you ever regretted these things?”
Janus shook his head and smiled slightly a s he said, "There is nothing to regret.
People have to be responsible for their own decisions. I really wanted to go all the way t o the end with her, but I was overwhelmed by love at that time and failed to analyze the feasibility of this matter objectively and in-depth from multiple angles."
As Janus spoke, he smiled and said," People often say that heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beauty. Not t o mention that I was not at all heroic at that time, but I was also young and frivolous. I always felt that love between two parties was the most important, but I failed to understand that a person would make very different decisions at different times and in different positions..."
"Some women who have been locked up in a cage for a long time will develop a yearning for nature, and they feel that it would be perfect if they could dive headfirst into nature."
"However, in actual fact, most of them do not really yearn for nature. If you let them eat too much and live too comfortably before letting them fly into nature, where they would be subjected to the wind, rain, sun, winter snow, cold, and hunger, most of them would begin to miss the old cage."
"At that time, the cage would no longer be a cage, but it would be a palace that they look up to."
