Chapter 35
“Goodbye, Dad. Please be at peace now because I’m at peace with you. After the painful separation we’ve been through, I hope you won’t cling to the bitterness and regrets. I love you.”
Sterling placed one hand on Zeke’s shoulder as he glanced at the ground. “I’ll fulfill my promise and take good care of James. You can be rest assured of that.”
After that, Zeke and Sterling headed toward the car. Zeke was surprised to see Oliver standing next to it. Oliver had a thick roll of papers in his hand and a small bag on the ground next to him.
Oliver smiled at Zeke while pointing at the roll of papers and the bag. “The day before my father slipped into a coma, he instructed me to pass all these to you.”
“What are they?”
Oliver gave the roll of papers to Zeke. “Those are James’s paintings.”
Zeke was taken aback. “But I can’t accept them.”
Oliver pulled out an envelope from the inner pocket of his black suit jacket. “You have to. There’s a letter for you from my father.”
