Perhaps, deep down, every man harbours a sense of heroism. Many men would prioritize righteousness, and with family being family, he wouldn't hesitate to die with them, if he couldn't save them. How should I put it?

Su Yan looked at her, knowing that no amount of words could mend their Present situation. "I'm sorry, my love, there won't be a next time!"
