Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1777

Was this Charlie's company?

Shawn's voice steadily choked up, "When the fire started, I rushed in, ready to die. I thought if I could die and save your company a bit of loss, it would be my redemption. I didn't want Emily to hate me more. When they rushed in to put out the fire, I told the firefighters to let me die, but they didn't listen, they saved me. Emily despises me, I don't want to be her burden, I don't want treatment."

Charlie's voice was low, "You'll live here for the rest of your life, that should be enough for redemption."

Shawn said, "I know, because your company arranged this great nursing home for me, because you and the company didn't let Emily pay compensation, I understand all that. But the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel."

He wiped his eyes, "You've done enough for our family. I also know that the $10,000 I cheated you out of, you later gave it to Emily's mother, who then gave it to Emily, so she didn't have to work so many jobs, to make her life a bit easier. I later asked Emily's mother and she told me everything. What kind of father am I? I'm just a debt-ridden ghost who burdens my children."

Shawn continued to talk, weeping uncontrollably.

Emily leaned against the wall, her eyes wide with shock at Shawn's words. Emotions surged in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

The $10,000, the money her mother said was for the old house, was actually given by Charlie.

Charlie interrupted, "Emily loves you, even if she doesn't say it. But you've disappointed her too much. If you want to make up for it, don't give up on treatment. Get better and give her a loving father."

Shawn was full of shame, choking back sobs, "Do I still have a chance?"

"Of course, Emily is your daughter. You should know her best." Charlie said. "She is a very loyal person. She never gave up on you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have signed that agreement with the family."

Shawn was filled with sadness and a bit of anger at the mention of the maintenance agreement, "Her mother went too far. She can hate me for wronging her, but she shouldn't treat Emily like this."

Charlie's voice was filled with concern, "Emily has already lost her mother and brother, so she can't lose you."

Shawn hushed.
