Ryan Was Faced With Two Choices

As soon as he sent the message, Ryan knew that he was adding oil to the burning flame in Aiden's heart. Unfortunately, he did not know what else to do.

His adopted son just got separated from his birth parents and came with him to a completely different city. He had to adapt to a new, strange, and unfriendly environment. Not to mention the vampires and werewolves that walked freely around Dominion.

Alain had yet to come in contact with them. When the time came, it would be a terrifying, no, traumatizing experience for such a young man indeed.

Ryan was the one who wanted to adopt him, so he should take full responsibility for Alain. This was what his grandfather emphasized amongst the many objections he had when Ryan insisted on adopting Alain.

When the latter fell sick, naturally Ryan needed to be there for him.

Even when the latter clearly faked it.
