Chapter 1407
Hector felt someone had pushed him as he fell to the ground.
It was Sean. He pushed him out of the way just as the car arrived in front of them.
For a moment, the air was filled with the brakes' screech and the collision's sound.
Hector's pupils constricted as Sean disappeared from his vision, leaving only a shoe on
the ground.
It was only when the screams of the people around them and after the car had escaped
that Hector came to his senses and looked in a daze at the man who had fallen in a
pool of blood.
At the police station...
Maisie and Nolan rushed to the police station when they received the call. As soon as
she stepped into the police station, she saw Hector sitting on the chair with his head
held low in dejection.
The police officer put down the cup of water and rose to his feet. “Mr. Goldmann?”
Nolan walked up to the police officer and asked him about the situation. The police
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtofficer walked aside with him and told him all about what had happened.
Maisie looked at Hector and approached him. she stopped beside him and asked, “Are
you alright, Hector?”
Hector clasped his palms together so tightly that veins were bulging on the back of his hands. His cheeks puffed up,
and he seemed to be holding something back.
Maisie placed her hand on his shoulder and said, “I’m sorry about what happened.”
“I’m the one who they wanted to kill,” Hector said through gritted teeth, his heart awash with guilt.
“But why was it him who died?”
Why did he push him away?
Maisie looked at him silently.
She knew this was a hard time for him. After all, Sean had died right in front of his eyes.
After Nolan learned everything from the police officer, he walked to Hector and asked, “Do you want to avenge
him?”
Hector was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Nolan.
Nolan patted Hector’s shoulder and said meaningfully, “Just do what you think is right. You don’t need to worry
about the rest.”
It was already very late by the time Hector returned to his home. He took a can of beer out of the fridge and
walked to the balcony. Looking at the light in the distance, he fell into a pensive mood.
He rarely interacted with Sean, but Sean was the first one who had stepped forward and helped him. He was just
uncomfortable with what the Zestar higher-ups were doing and didn't feel he had done anything wrong. Still, his
action had indirectly dragged Sean into it.
‘We need to be true to ourselves at all times. Only when we're true to ourselves can we move forward fearlessly.
‘Just do what you think is right. You don’t need to worry about the rest.’
Hector lifted his head and took a large gulp of beer.
“Hector?”
He was stunned and turned his head around to look at Lucy on the next balcony.
Lucy took her earphones down and smiled. “You can’t sleep either?”
Hector was stumped for a moment before he pressed his lips tightly and replied,
“Yeah.”
“I saw you on the news today.” Lucy looked at him, her eyes glittering with a smile.
“I'm kind of surprised. I never thought that something like that would happen in an
entertainment company. Maybe nobody would know the truth if it weren't for you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis pupils trembled, and he raised his head to drink the beer. After falling silent for a
while, he said, “But I couldn’t prevent that from happening...”
He couldn’t prevent Sean’s death.
Lucy was stunned as she looked at Hector, she did not know why, but she felt that he
was feeling down right now. “There’s a limit to what everyone can do. You're doing
your best to reveal the truth to everyone, but there's a lot in this world that isn't as
good as we see on the surface.
“While injustice continues to exist, as long as someone has the courage to stand up
and stop it, justice will be served one day.
“We can't change other people, so we can only change ourselves. Since we can't
change how things happen, we can change our attitude toward things.”
Lucy looked into the distance and smiled. “You see, there are still people who keep
carrying forward despite the difficulties in life.”
Hector’s gaze fell on the smile on her face. He had never seen her get beaten by life
before. She never gave up no matter what curveballs life threw at her and always had
a smile on her face.
