"You were never this sensible before. Then why are you suddenly acting out of character, Dad? It's confusing," Ethan said with a sad laugh.
He had never imagined that a prideful man like his father could ever have a change of heart. Marcus had always been someone Ethan believed was incapable of empathy. Seeing him like this now felt strange, almost unreal.
Marcus chuckled softly, though tears still brimmed in his eyes.
"Maybe I changed now that I have less time to live and make amends for my past actions."
Ethan could tell Marcus was trying to act normal, but he was failing badly.
Ethan had already decided to end his relationship with his father the day Marcus asked Kathrine to leave him.
But Kathrine had wanted him to think differently. She had asked him not to judge Marcus solely for the man he had been before.
Only for Ethan to later discover his condition.
