"Ares, a top‑tier special‑forces war hero decorated with countless battle honours, hung up his uniform and retired after suffering severe psychological trauma triggered by the death of his closest battlefield comrade. His one‑and‑only mission now is to honour his promise and shield his fallen brother‑in‑arms' wife and daughter with everything he has.

However, he believes Gigi Norris' lies and snarls, "What does your mother getting into an accident have to do with me? Don't even think of getting money from me to provide for your family.

I throw the hospital bill and death certificate in his face. The idiot doesn't even know he no longer has a mother!
