As he spoke, tears fell.
"I've had a heart condition since I was little, and Ddaddy never gave up on me. He set up a foundation for me, built hospitals, and searched the globe for the best doctors.
He took me to work with him, carried me home after work, and even at night, he held me close. Have you ever seen a father so helpless in making baby formula? I have. I've never seen my father so clumsy. You can't understand or experience his goodness."
I've never seen my father so clumsy. You can't understand or experience his goodness."
Seeing him cry, Fannie's anger subsided significantly.
Randy continued,: "I know my daddy hurt you, but it was unintentional, and he wasn't the one who hit you with the car. Even when he didn't know you were his biological daughter, he was ready to give you his blood without a second thought! Later, when you wouldn't forgive him, he was so distressed he couldn't eat or sleep. I've never seen him like that.."
"He's the wealthiest man in Country Z, always on top., Nnothing ever troubled him. But for you, he's done everything, said every humiliating word. What more do you want from him? Do you want to push him to death to apologize before you're satisfied?"
This was the first time Martin heard Randy say these things.
His eyes reddened slightly, and his throat choked up.
He never knew he appeared so grand and towering in his son's eyes.
"You... how did you come here?"
