This is the last time

Ethan was taken aback when he saw how worn out Ryan looked. He had a special kind of affection for Ryan, especially since Ethan had just slept with Ryan's mom the night before.

There was a sort of father-son bond between them.

"I'm fine," Ryan shook his head, hiding his bitterness. "Thanks for coming to see me."

"Ryan, I've told you before, even though we're not related by blood, our relationship is like family," Ethan said sincerely. "Seeing you like this worries me. You can tell me anything."

He still had a mission to complete, and if Ryan died prematurely, he'd be at a loss for where to turn.

And over time, what started as just completing a mission had gradually turned into a friendship.

"I..." Ryan struggled, but seeing the sincerity in Ethan's eyes, he let out a bitter laugh. He was already in bad shape,what was there to hide?
