One regret
Ethan looked at his family, happy to see them all together. However, he could also feel the tension between his son and his son-in-law.
He was sick, not senile.
He noticed how Alex refused to shake Gerald's hand, a very unusual behavior of his son-in-law, so he could tell he must have his reason. A solid one.
Still, he enjoyed hearing his wife laughing at Gerald's stories. He also loved hearing that despite what happened to his son, he still had some good memories of his childhood with his mother.
He still could not help but blame himself for what his son had gone through because he was not brave enough to face what he had done. He did not clean up the mess he made and allowed his son to suffer in the end.
"Do you need anything?" His daughter asked, standing by his side while his wife and Gerald returned to their seats, continuing their exchange of stories.
