EuropeNovelChapter 524 "No!" Charles' face paled. He pulled his phone out to call for help, but then his mother, Jessica, said, "You don't need to call for help." She had been fighting her illness for years and should have died a long tago. It was Ethan's subsidy and health insurance that helped her to stay alive, and after what happened, she believed she was the reason her son bectwisted.
She felt guilty, not just toward Ethan, but also toward her husband and their son. Years of pain and the burden she placed on her family had worn her down. She could not go on any longer.
Maybe, just maybe, her death could help Charles find his way back.
"I know what's going on with my body," she said, her voice strained and labored. "Son, I've hurt you enough. I'm so sorry. I will no longer be your burden. If you can, turn yourself in. You're on your own now. We will always love you." Charles teared up, his body shaking. He did not understand.

What had he done to deserve this? Jessica looked at her husband. "Xavier, thank you for taking care ofall these years. I'm sorry." Then, she leaned into his arms and slowly lost her breath.
Xavier hugged her tightly and shook his head, his eyes tightly closed. "Don't talk like that. Just wait foron the other side." Slowly, he lifted his eyes to look at Charles.
"We've never been wealthy or powerful, and we've been sick for most of our lives.
I know that made things harder for you. I'm sorry, son. But, we hope you understand that our lives aren't any more important than anyone else's." Charles' face was covered in tears as he shook his head strongly.
"I'm sorry... I was wrong! I know that now! I really do!" His chest tightened, making it hard to breathe.
He had taken bribes to save his parents, but in the end, his actions led to this. It was his decision that got his parents killed.
"We're grateful you did this for us, but if you can find your way back, that would make us even happier. We love you." With that, Xavier's head gently slumped forward, his breath leaving him.
"No!" Charles screamed.
He tried to run over to his parents, but his legs gave out beneath him. He had to crawl over to his parents, and when he did, they had already lost all signs of life. fo He knelt before them helplessly, crying.
"This isn't what I wanted! I don't want the money anymore. I don't want any of it!" He cried his lungs out as he held his head in regret and frustration. If ke could bring his parents back to life by throwing away all the money he took, he would do it in a heartbeat. However, it was too late.
