Way Of Me
The Part 13

Mr. Luke untied Kean's hands and feet. He also helped his son to stand up.

After examining what Mr. Max said, he finally realized that all this time what Kean had done was just to attract his attention.

Luke is so loyal to Mr. Max that he must thank him for dedicating himself to the man. The man who has given him a better second life. It was even the man who saved her from death. Therefore, Luke promises to sacrifice his soul and body to Mr. Max.

Mr. Luke extended his hand to the boy who initially seemed reluctant to welcome him.

But Kean finally returned the hand. A hand he had long missed. Since childhood, Kean rarely met his father. Luke only comes on weekends, sometimes he doesn't even come because he has to accompany Mr. Max.

Even Luke wasn't with Kean when his mother became very ill and eventually died. Luke only came to bury his wife and the day after he returned to Mr. Max's side. Little Kean is handed over to the nanny and Kean is put into boarding school.

Kean never lacked in meeting all the needs of his school. His education was assured where he was educated at the best school. The facilities always get the best. In terms of treasures, Kean was never lacking.

It's just that, in terms of affection, he didn't get it. During a visit by the parents at the dorm, Luke can never come. He always asked his men to visit Kean, then report to him.

This is what makes Kean feel discarded, causing seeds of hatred for Mr. Max. He felt Mr. Max had taken his possession, even though all the facilities he got were given by Mr. Max.

Luke and Kean sat facing each other. Luke combed through the bruises on the son's face. His son, now fully aware of Luke, is already an adult. He had not seen the face of the child for a long time.

Silent, neither Luke nor Kean let out a sound. And finally, Luke cleared his throat to begin his conversation.

" I'm sorry" said Luke, trying to touch Kean's face.

But Kean actually dodged so that Luke's hand hung in the air and he pulled it back.

" I know you must be disappointed. But you should know, everything I do is for your good" Luke said as he stared at Kean's final goal.

Seeing the wound on the child's face made him very sorry. I don't know what would have happened had Mr. Max not prevented it, maybe Kean had been killed and he would have regretted his actions for life and would not have forgiven himself.

Kean smiled lightly.

" My goodness ? My own good or your own good ? " sneaky Kean.

" My future ? Do you think I still have a future ? I'm nothing more than an outcast. I still have a father but I feel orphaned ", Kean replied, which made Luke's heart feel pierced.

" I'm sorry ! I'm sorry after everything that happened. I know it may be too late, but believe me I just want to see you become a successful person " Luke said in a low, regretful tone of voice.

Kean turned his face away, a single tear fell from the corner of his eye but he immediately wiped it.

" Well, whoa... Apparently this venerable Mr. Luke can apologize as well yes "kean scoffed at Luke's words to divert the conversation.

" Kean... "

" Go to your Master. The person you always numbered. Even your loyalty to him is greater than your loyalty to your own family" Kean said.

" If you knew what he'd done, maybe you'd change the way you look at him. Even you'll ask me to be with him until the end of my life "

Kean's eyebrows shot up, for a long time he wanted to know the reason why his father was so loyal to his master. And it seems like the right time to ask for an explanation of why she was so loyal and the mother did not mind her at all.

Luke took a deep breath. Finally, he had to tell the child everything about his dark past.

" I used to be just a poor man. Street thugs, village thugs. Luckily, your mother wants me to marry you. She's a beautiful and kind woman. Although I'm a jerk, but he never considered me a jerk. He always wished that I would be on the path of good. And it worked, knowing that if your mother was pregnant with you, I stopped being a bad person. I'm trying to be a good guy " explained Luke.

" And you know, it turns out being a good person isn't easy. Once branded criminals forever branded criminals. Until I finally met Mr. Max and his son. At that time, they were confronted by a gang of robbers when they were going home to the city. I helped them until the criminals were defeated. As a result, I was offered a job as their body guard ", Luke added.

" Time passes, Mr. Max and his son trusted me so much that I became their confidant. Unfortunately, my friends in the past showed up. They don't like it, I have a good life. For them I am a valuable asset who always makes their crime successful. That's why they kidnapped your mother and asked me to help them rob her back. If I refuse your mother and you who are still in the womb they will disappear. Of course, I don't want anything bad to happen to you. Therefore, I agreed to their request. Finally, I helped them launch the action. And it worked, until finally our action was known "

" We all escaped, even if I was shot in the chest and almost caught and died if only Mr. Max had not come to save me by letting me into his car. I was in a coma for a week and when I realized I had seen your mother and you sitting next to the cage accompanied by Mr. Max and his son. Apparently all this time they were watching me and knew what was happening to me. They're really good people. They saved your mother and me. Unfortunately, out of all the gangs their leader managed to escape. He thinks if me and Mr. Max work together that he made an accident on Mr. Max's son-in-law's car to get revenge. The accident caused Mr. Max to lose his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. His son and son-in-law died, while his grandson went missing somewhere.

" That's why I vowed to dedicate myself to Mr. Max. Because of his kindness to us, he had to lose his family. We owe Mr. Max a lot of money, not even life is enough to repay his kindness. You understand, right ? Why is your father so loyal to Master Max ? "

Kean nodded. Finally he understood the attitude of his father all this time. Unfortunately, the mother did not mind her father's attitude. And now, Kean was ashamed of himself for his attitude.

" I'm sorry, dad ! Sorry I was selfish all this time. I never want to know what makes you behave like this. Dad, take me to see Mr. Max, I have to apologize to him. I've done a lot of wrong to him" Kean said, moving closer to Luke, then hugging him.
