Chapter 283
Vito, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Alex with a mixed expression of relief and regret. The two of them were in the living room, a silent atmosphere between them. Alfa and Ares looked tense and irritated at the corner of the room.
Vito looked at Alex sincerely. "Alex, Papa hope you know that I decided to release you not for ignoring your mistakes. Papa did it because I believe that everyone deserves a second chance to improve. Papa begged you all to forgive him and give him a chance to start again."
Ares sharply said, "Papa, this is unfair! Alex's brother caused an accident that took grandfather's life. How can we forgive him? Brother Alan would be furious if he found out!"
Ares is very upset to see his father suddenly come home to bring Alex to the house. Although their relationship used to be very good, since the death of grandfather, Ares also hates Alex. Moreover, he knew if his brother was planning to master the entire family treasure for himself.
Alfa. "Rubber, Pa. How can we forget what he did? We all feel a deep sense of loss because of it."
Alfa was only disappointed by her father's decision. Even the 5-year prison sentence determined by the court according to him is still lacking. He still can't believe Alex can change.
Vito pleaded in a weak voice. "Papa knows this is hard for you to accept. But as a father, Papa tries to see our mistakes and suffering as opportunities to improve and learn to forgive. We cannot continue to carry grudges and resentments in our hearts, it will only separate and damage our families further."
Ares sighed. "But what Alex has done makes him unfit to believe anymore! I can't be here and see him free after what he's done!"
Alfa nodded. "I agree with Ares. I can't accept him now, Pa," he said.
Vito put on a face. "If it's your decision, I can't force you to forgive him. But remember, family is about togetherness and support. I hope you will see the true heart of Alex, who also regrets his mistakes. Maybe this is also Papa's fault for not accompanying you growing up all this time."
Vito is eager to repair his relationship with the children. Dozens of years apart make them no longer have closeness. He made a mistake and did not want his family to have a split.
"If Papa still wants Alex's brother here, it looks like I'll get out of here" Ares said.
"Ares! Wait!" call Alfa. He got out of his place and ran after his sister.
Vito fell silent, his heart sad to see his two children leave in disappointment. "I hope that one day they can see that love and forgiveness are the most important things in life" he said.
"Pa, let me just stay outside instead of making a fuss in this house," said Alex, who had been silent since.
He understood that his two brothers did not like his presence there. If Alan was around, his brother would have beaten him.
Although never intended to kill grandfather, but Alex is indeed the cause of grandfather's death. He was very sorry about the incident.
"Pa, I'm leaving, yes," said Alex.
Vito grabbed Alex's hand. "Don't you stay here. Papa will try to talk about this again with your other brothers" he said.
"But, Pa ...."
Vito shakes. "There's no buts. You promised to obey Papa if you got out of jail. Whatever happens, stand by Papa's side" she asked.
Alex agreed.
In a pitiful silence, Vito leaned his head against his wheelchair, letting his grief and hope feel so heavy inside him. He knew that the healing process of their family would not be easy, but he insisted on believing that with time, their hearts could blossom.
