Chapter 629

Ethan lowered his head, his deep-set eyes gazing into mine adoringly. "I would never give up on you two," he said. "You and Zach are the most important people in my life. I would do anything and everything for you two. I would even sacrifice myself to keep you two alive." "Ethan…" I muttered through sobs. "Sorry. I dragged you down. If I hadn't been so stubborn as to investigate Murphy, Zach wouldn't have been kidnapped. It's all my fault. You must hate me, don't you?" A tender smile laced Ethan's lips, and he cupped his hands on my cheeks and wiped away my tears with his thumbs. "Why would I hate you? It's something that's been on your mind for so long. I can't blame you for that. Besides, Zach is my son too. It's my duty to keep him safe. I'll be upset if you continue blaming yourself for this, so stop crying, alright?" When he was done talking, he lowered his head to kiss my tears away. The warmth of his lips calmed me down. Right. Ethan would never blame me for anything.
