So, no matter how well Ethan did or how outstanding he was, his father would never see it. He had never received any recognition or appreciation from him either.
Ethan grew up in an incomplete family.
He then became completely rebellious. He would drink, smoke, get tattoos, and stay out all night. He eventually became a rogue and a school bully that no one dared to mess with.
At some point, someone took revenge and almost beat him to death on the street. He was covered in blood and almost died. It was at that time that he met Donna. She stayed with him one year after another.

He did not know what it meant to like someone at that time. He thought not wanting to lose someone meant the same as liking them...
When he found out that Donna was going to leave him back then, he almost sacrificed his life trying to keep her. He thought that was love.
But he only knew now that he was just unwilling to lose her. He was unwilling to see the people around him leave him one by one.
As a result, he almost ended his life. He indeed wanted to die. He thought if he could not keep the people around him when he was alive, he wanted to just die with them.
His family was broken. And even the only person who cared about him at that time wanted to leave him.
He felt as if the whole world was abandoning him... He wanted to be free from his sufferings.
Unexpectedly, the car accident did not kill him.
Then, he met Madelyn. She was like a beam of light to him. She became his only reason to live. Ethan only chose to step out of his darkness because of her.
Ethan thought, 'I've never forgotten the reason I've done all these back then!" Donna did not take it seriously. She casually glanced at him, "Stop joking. You can't live without me. You didn't even mind losing your life for me. Do you think I'll believe in what you just said?" Ethan ignored her words. He coldly said, "I've already paid off all the high-interest loans you borrowed. I've also taken care of all the problems with your father. From now on, he won't hurt you anymore. Donna, no one will live in the past forever. You lost your so-called bet with my grandmother when you decided to do that.

She was calm and confident before that. She suddenly panicked and got agitated. She clutched Ethan's and said, "Are you lying to me? What you said were all lies, right? Ethan... You do know | love you! If it weren't for your grandmother, | wouldn't have been tempted to leave you back then. | just wanted to be with you openly.
Now that I'm back, we can surely go back to how things used to be." Ethan said quietly, "Some things can't be changed once they've happened, including that car accident.” When Madelyn left him, he admitted that he still had not moved on from Donna.
But he did not have feelings for Donna! Perhaps he had never actually fallen for her. He could not let her go simply because he was unwilling to lose anyone around him.
That was why he did everything to keep her with him.
However, it was different with Madelyn. Ethan felt a sense of security he had never experienced before when he was with her.
He could always calm down with her, even when he had intense emotions. To him, that feeling was very warm.
Donna asked desperately, "Why did you help me then? Why did you bring me back to your side? Did that old hag threaten you again? Don't worry, no matter what she does this time, | won't leave you. You said you wanted me by your side forever. I'm back now... In the future, no one can stop us from being together again." Ethan firmly said, "We won't have any future. I've done enough for you."
