That scene was truly tragic. Even though Vireo had made up his mind to cut off all ties with the Payne family, he had never expected that things would end up being like that. Vireo teared up. "Mom."
However, calling out to her was all that he did because he knew he had already done his best for the Payne family a long time ago. He had long paid them back a hundredfold and even a thousandfold of whatever he owed them. The reason why the Payne family was in such a state where they had no way out was indeed their own fault. They only had themselves to blame for this. Therefore, even if Vireo was covered in tears, he still remained seated n his car without making a move at all.
The traffic got worse. Many people, who had great guts, got out of their car and went to have a closer look, so the traffic got worse.
Lucius was on the ground hugging his wife and was shouting at the top of his lungs in tears. "My dear, o-our family is going to be broken. What was even our point in this? I know I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong. I have made mistakes in this life. I deserved this. Woman, why did you have to die before m e? My dear...wait for me."
After he bawled out again, Lucius also followed in his wife's footsteps and knocked his head on that thick concrete pillar. He died instantly.
