The audacious declaration served as a bitter reminder of Eldrin's callous nature, leaving an indelible mark on Adrian's already strained patience.
The truth behind Eldrin's twisted perception of parenthood churned a nauseating feeling within Adrian.
"Enough. It's over. I won't let you use Hugo for your own gain."
