Chapter: 2606

Allen was taken aback, struggling to find the right words in response.

Eventually, frustration overcame him. He lowered his voice, offering a sincere apology. "I'm sorry. I had no idea."

Victor shifted his gaze to an empty space. “It's alright. No need to apologize. You've done nothing wrong."

Despite his reassurance, Allen couldn't shake his deep sense of regret.

He berated himself for his clumsy words, always seeming to hit upon sensitive subjects. And if Victor's words held true, then his situation was truly heart-wrenching.
