Chapter 159 Antonio's Regret
Antonio had been standing here ever since Sarah had fallen unconscious, motionless like a sculpture.
Only those deep black eyes constantly churn with extremely complex emotions—regret, self-blame, and anguish. These emotions blended into an indelible darkness, as if ink was about to drip.
He had wanted to save the two children but hadn't expected the abandoned chemical factory to explode.
Antonio recalled Tim's words.
Was it because he chose to personally save Ryan that Tim deliberately triggered the explosion over there?
If that's really the case, then didn't he end up causing the deaths of his own flesh and blood?
At that moment, Sarah also noticed Antonio's presence, and hatred instantly surged in her previously unfocused eyes.
"Why are you still here?!" Sarah questioned in a trembling voice.
It was because of Antonio that Ethan and Harper had secretly followed her to the country. Then their identities were exposed one after another, and Harper was deceived by Antonio, secretly helping him...
But now he heartlessly abandoned Ethan and Harper's lives and chose Lisa's son. If it weren't for Antonio, her children wouldn't have experienced so much.
The root of all this lay in the man standing before her!
Sarah hated him so much that she gritted her teeth. She walked quickly up to Antonio, putting all her strength into slapping him. Her palm hurt, but not nearly as much as her heartache.
Antonio didn't dodge. Regret and remorse blended on his sharply defined face.
"Why didn't you tell me about the kidnappers contacting you? Why did you make decisions and choices on your own? Were you afraid that I would hinder you from saving Ryan?!" Sarah demanded, one question after another.
Hearing these questions, Antonio's gaze trembled, his thin lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Antonio, why isn't it you who died? You are the one who deserves to die!"
Sarah despised how God turned a blind eye and let someone like Antonio live in this world while taking her children away.
As Antonio listened to these words, the calmness he once had disappeared completely, replaced by even more intense pain in his heart.
"It wasn't my choice..."
The words reached the tip of his tongue, but he held them back.
Regardless, things had developed to this point, and he must bear full responsibility.
If he hadn't kept the kidnappers' phone call a secret from Sarah, maybe the outcome wouldn't have been like this.
What's the use of explanations now that everything had already happened?
Moreover, no matter what he said now, she would never believe him again.
Sarah's gaze became even fiercer. "Antonio, you killed my children! You are a murderer! Back then, you didn't want them, and now you've achieved it. You must be very happy!"
She would never forget the words Antonio had said years ago, that he didn't want her children.
And this time, the demand made by the kidnappers...
Presented with an opportunity, Antonio managed to put on a regretful look in front of her, though his heart couldn't help but feel elated.
Upon hearing her words, Antonio was instantly puzzled, his dark eyes filled with confusion.
What does she mean by that? When did I ever not want her children? I had no idea she had been pregnant!
Before Antonio could say anything, Sarah turned around and headed towards the coffee table.
In the next moment, she picked up the fruit knife placed on it!
"You go to hell..." Sarah didn't hesitate as she thrust the knife towards Antonio.
Since divine retribution failed to befall him, she could only take matters into her own hands.
Antonio had no intention of dodging as he saw the tip of the knife coming towards him.
However, as a thought occurred to him and a hint of concern flickered in his eyes, he reached out and gently grasped Sarah's wrist."Calm down. Do you really want to be seen as a murderer and get arrested?"
It was his fault, and he was willing to make amends. But he didn't want to see her in trouble.
Sarah, however, seemed to have fallen into madness, with her sole desire being Antonio's death. She tightened her grip on the fruit knife, attempting to free her hand. "Stop pretending in front of me! Even if I have to go to jail, I'll make sure you die and avenge my children!"
Seeing this, Alex hurriedly stepped forward and also grabbed Sarah's hand. "Sarah, don't act impulsively!"
Although he also believed Antonio deserved to die, this current situation wouldn't solve anything. She would only end up in hell because of it.
Antonio wasn't worthy!
Seeing that Sarah showed no signs of letting go, Alex pondered for a moment and added, "The children don't want you to do this!"
Indeed, as soon as she heard the mention of "children", Sarah's expression changed immediately, and her body froze instantly. If she became a murderer, then her children would become children of a murderer, wouldn't they?
Taking advantage of Sarah's hesitation, Alex quickly snatched the fruit knife from her hand and threw it into the corner of the room.
Then, Alex pushed Antonio forcefully and glared at him. "Leave this place quickly and never let her see you again unless you want her to die all over again!"
