Ehh? I get that it wasn’t ML’s fault that MC’s parents died. But dang when he said “i’M jUsT tRyInG tO pRoTect YoU” like gurl??? You might’ve protected him from your dad but at what cost? He’s been used over and over and over again. Literally “alive but dead inside”.
Your way of protecting him made no difference at all. He still died.
