Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3234

Otto was naturally unwilling at first, even saying he wouldn't accept fate and wanted to fight back. However, after a night of contemplation, his hair had actually turned white from the mental exhaustion.

It was obvious how much pain and pressure his heart had endured.

Now, as he stepped out of the tightly shut room, Otto stood with his hands behind his back. He lifted his head and looked at the newly risen morning sun.

He mumbled, "Life has always been this unpredictable. Andrew is just like the sun right now. No one can stop him as he climbs higher and shines brighter."

These rambling words confused many people, but they could hear the powerlessness, desolation, and sorrow in Otto's heart.

Several women immediately burst into tears and dropped to their knees.

Otto remained unmoved and only looked at Conrad, saying, "Conrad, you're right. I should indeed face my death. Only this way can our family be saved! Conrad, I drove you away, disowned you, and sent you far away to the Outlands… Even I have to admire your growth on your journey."

He added, "You said Reginald taught you many things, and you learned a lot from Andrew. How ironic. I spent my entire life's efforts cultivating you with no results. Yet from the Cunningham family's enemies, you achieved tremendous growth. I was stubborn and self-righteous all my life, only to discover in my old age that I was wrong… Terribly wrong!"

With a long sigh, Otto suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood all over Conrad's head.

Conrad's face twisted in pain as he looked up and screamed, "Grandfather."

He pulled out the knife he had long hidden against his chest. His body trembled as he clenched his teeth so hard that blood seeped out, and he stepped forward inch by inch toward Otto's heart.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry… For the sake of the Cunningham family, I have no choice!"

Several elders from the Cunningham family leadership nearby let out anguished howls. However, Otto's resolute and ruthless gaze prevented them from moving an inch or interfering.

"Do it, Conrad. You've been a wonderful grandson. Only a real man can be reborn from extreme pain. I'm willing to trade my life in exchange for your growth once more!"
