Chapter 237
Delbert came out of his memories and smiled.
But then he thought of something, and his smile turned cold.
That was not the end of the story.
Afterward, Harriet disappeared, and she was nowhere to be found. She left without even saying goodbye, just vanishing from his life. From then on, Delbert’s life returned to its original state.
On the first day without her, he stood outside her house, steadfastly waiting, refusing to leave no matter who tried to persuade him.
Even when his mother beat him with a stick, leaving him covered in
bruises, he still insisted on staying.
He wanted to wait for Harriet and his light to return.
He waited until it rained heavily for three days and nights, causing
him to develop a high fever. It was then that he gave up on the hopeless waiting.
After recovering from his illness, he ate candy for several days, taking two pieces each day, one for himself and one for her. But Harriet still didn’t come back.
Gradually, Delbert began to accept this cruel reality.
Harriet might have really left and never come back.
But once someone had seen the light, they could no longer tolerate
darkness.
The candy rolled to Delbert’s feet, emitting a sparkling light.
Delbert picked up the candy, held it in his hand, and looked at it for a while before unwrapping it and putting it in his mouth. Indeed, it was very sweet.
Harriet didn’t lie to him.
After eating the candy, he felt much better.
And it was this one candy and little Harriet who descended like an angel on that gloomy afternoon, saving him from the pain, giving him hope to live, and letting him see the light.

Harriet might have really left and never come back.
But once someone had seen the light, they could no longer tolerate darkness.
So little Delbert decided in his heart that he must find Harriet and keep her by his side, as his only light, Before that, he needed to become stronger.
That was why he had coaxed his mother into returning to the Carison family and endured silently there. He was determined to become the president of Carlson Group so that he could protect Harriet and keep her with him.
When he finally obtained the Carlson Group and became invincible, he found Harriet. Unfortunately, Harriet’s brain had been damaged, and she was bearing Vernon in her heart. From then on, there was no longer any color in Delbert’s eyes.
He watched as Harriet always followed Vernon with affection. Her smile was even broader than that when she was with him in their childhood. It pained him, but he decided to let go and only wished for her safety and happiness.
He would stay in a place where she couldn't see him, silently watching over her and protecting her.
In the first month of deciding to let go, he couldn't sleep, often havin nightmares of losing her in his childhood and waking up in fright.
It went on and on.
To fall asleep and forget Harriet, he started taking large doses of sleeping pills, which eventually led to his mental illness. Milton had arranged for a psychologist to help him, hoping that could forget the pain he had experienced with his parents in his childhood.
But he refused because, in that childhood memory, there was al
Harriet.

No one could take away his memories of Harriet
Because of this, he became more insane with each passing day. His longing for her grew like wild weeds.
It was at that point that he discovered Vernon’s true colors.
It turned out that he only aimed for the wealth left to Harriet by her mother and that he had hooked up with Nora behind Harriet’s back
Delbert looked at their intimate photos, fuming at the thought that Harriet was still oblivious to the truth.
