Nanny For Young Master's
Genius 40 - Regret

"There's no point crying over what happened. Although you're sorry, but it's too late because you've chosen your path right from the start." The man slowly turned into smoke.

His body slowly disappeared and returned camouflaged into a pitch-black mist.

The fog moved back into his body.

Karl sat on the floor. Sobs can't stop.

Karl lamented his stupidity. Stupidity that he had never noticed.

He had wasted and abandoned his son for three years. Until it makes the child never even know how the figure of his father.

And now, as he goes through those lost times, he puts his son's life in danger.

Due to his strength and the contract with the creature, he unknowingly leaves behind a poison in Carver's body.

Karl opened his eyes slowly. After crying for hours, he fell asleep on his couch until late at night.

Karl got up and sat down on the sofa.

"Huft~" He again sighed deeply. There was still a sense of regret that ruled him.

Karl still continued to ring the words of the man he met a moment ago.

Every word that came to his mind made Karl again feel sad. His heart ached immensely each time he remembered what he had done to his own son.

Karl again sobbed.

In the stillness of the night and in the dark room only in the bright light of the full moon that penetrated through the windows of his room—Karl sobbed to condemn his stupidity.

"It's all my fault." she shrieked in a quivering voice.

"Yes.you're right!"

He raised his head, looking for the origin of the sound he heard.

"It's all your fault!" said again.

Karl reflexively got up from his seat. Both of his eyes were rounded so he was aware of who was now standing before him.

"L-Lynn…"

A woman stood in the moonlight. She was wearing a simple dress, her appearance was a bit messy. But her beautiful face still looked so clear in her eyes.

The woman raised her face. Staring at Karl with teary eyes.

Her ruby-shaped eyes glowed, especially when her tears were reflected by the moonlight.

Karl could not believe what he saw. The woman, actually stood right in front of him.

"You can't protect our son very well." The woman said softly. Her tears dripped out of her eye sockets, drenching her two smooth cheeks.

"I'm asking you to take good care of her and take good care of her. But what are you doing? You're…"

The woman sobbed. There was a sense of tightness approaching her chest when she had to remember what her husband had done to their own son.

"…You did something that threatened his life…"

"I'm really disappointed in you, Shawn."

"I knew it was all my fault" Karl said. "I'm also sorry and I really feel like I failed because we've put our son's life in this situation…"

"…All this time, I'm just trying to survive without you. But I never thought it would be like this." Karl clenched both his hands tightly. He again sobbed considering the great mistake he had made.

"I-I'm really sorry, Lynn.
