Vincent Ford walked up to him, extended his hand, and helped him up: "Old Mr. Lane, this matter has nothing to do with you. The painting of the stream and clouds that I just made is a gift to you, as thanks for your pursuit of justice on my behalf."
Ryan Lane was deeply moved upon hearing this. That painting, even if it's not the first piece, was a masterpiece of incalculable value since it was created by Mr. Castle.
He spoke, intending to refuse: "This…"
Vincent Ford noticed his hesitation and interrupted: "As a teacher, it is your duty to guide students when they make mistakes. You have done that; it was his stubbornness."
After saying that, he gently patted his shoulder and continued: "It is ultimately his life, and he must take responsibility for it. You cannot take his place."
These simple words warmed Ryan Lane's heart.
Compared to before, it was not as painful, and his heart was now full of gratitude: "Thank you."
