“I talked it over with your dad, about you and Cecilia getting married.”
“No way!”
Timothy jumped like a cat whose tail just got stepped on, fur all puffed
“I would rather die than marry that woman!”
“It was because of her that Gabrielle…”
He choked up and couldn’t go on, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife,
“Foolish!” Emmitt slammed the table and shouted angrily.
“There wasn’t any evidence that proved it was Cecilia.”
“And besides, what mattered most now was your health.”
“The doctor said, your mental burden was too heavy, all stuck in your heart. If it kept going like that, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“We asked someone to read your fortune, and they said you needed a wedding to ward off bad luck.”
“Marrying Cecilia, first, could get rid of bad luck, and second, she could take good care of you.”
“This was the best way for now.”
Emmitt’s words hit Timothy’s heart like a hammer.

They used his wedding with another woman to get rid of the bad luck from Gabrielle’s death.
What an irony, what a cruelty.
“I won’t agree!” Timothy’s eyes turned cold and determined.
“If you guys kept pushing me, I’d just go with Gabrielle.”
He said that, then suddenly grabbed the fruit knife from the table and pressed it against his neck.
“Timothy!” Jazlene screamed in fear, her face turning pale.
Emmitt was shocked too, didn’t expect his son to get so worked up.
The doctor hurried over and tried to calm him down.
“Mr. Goldstein, calm down, talk it out, don’t do anything rash!”
“Get lost!”
The knife in Timothy’s hand got even closer, and the shallow cut on his neck.

“I told you, in this life, I wouldn’t marry anyone except Gabrielle!”
“If you guys kept pushing me, I’d just die right in front of you.”
His eyes were full of madness and despair, not like he was joking.
Emmitt and Jazlene totally freaked out.
They didn’t expect that their son’s obsession actually went this far.
You were willing to risk your life for someone who was already dead.
“Okay, okay, okay, we didn’t push you, didn’t push you.”

Jazlene quickly gave in, her voice sounding like she was about to cry.
“You put the knife down first, we can talk things over.”
Emmitt sighed too and waved for the doctor to leave first.
There were only the three of them left in the room.
The atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.
Timothy still held the knife and watched his parents warily.
He knew they wouldn’t give up easily.
Especially his father, for the family’s interests and reputation, he could do anything.
Sure enough, Emmitt was silent for a moment, then slowly started to speak.
His tone wasn’t harsh anymore, but instead had a bit of tiredness and helplessness.
“Timothy, I knew you were hurting inside, you couldn’t let go of Gabrielle.”
“But people had to look forward.”
“the Goldstein family needed an heir, needed a stable future.”
“With the way you were right now, how could we feel safe leaving the Goldstein family to you?”
He paused and looked at his son’s pale, haggard face.
“Dad, I’m begging you, just do it for me and your mom, for the Goldstein family.”

“Get married first, stabilize the situation.”
“As for what happens between you and Cecilia in the future, that’s own business.”
“As long as you could pull yourself together and live well, that was better than anything.”
