Victor fell momentarily silent after the doctor's words sank in.
"I k-know.. but I never realized it would worsen. You see, my daughter didn't grow up with me always around. She grew up with her mom, so I wasn't well-informed about her condition. All I knew was that her condition wasn't severe, so I was complacent that it wouldn't worsen. But nevertheless, it's still my fault... because I didn't inquire about her condition," Victor said.
Rina, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback by his words, causing her to glance at him.
What she saw was a Victor who seemed regretful due to his negligence, his eyes expressing all his disappointments with himself.
