The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Henry had made up his mind, but he also had another motive. By saving his own daughter and incidentally saving Lucas, he ensured his daughters' future for the rest of their lives.
After his wife left, he always worried about not being able to raise his two daughters properly. Both Claudia and Thalia had grown up well, and it was a pity that he might not have much time left to be with them. Since the moment he learned about Lucas' family background, he had made up his mind to use his own life to secure his daughters' future.
"Dad, please don't scare me anymore. Can't the three of us escape together through the window at the back? I'll be scared if you're not by my side. Dad, please don't do this. Don't leave me. Thalia and I still need you..."
After hearing her father's decision, Claudia sensed the tragic outcome and did not want it. Even though they were all tied up together, they could still escape together, could they not? Why must there be a sacrifice?
"Given Claudia's current unstable emotional state, I think it would be better if you stayed by her side. It's decided, then. I'll go distract those two kidnappers," Lucas said firmly.
However, Claudia turned to look at him with worry. "Why must you wake them up? Since they're both asleep now, can't we just escape together from the back?"
Things were not as simple as Claudia thought. As Henry observed the window at the back, he noticed rice fields stretching out with no end in sight. Their escape route was too obvious. Without someone drawing the attention of the kidnappers, they would quickly be caught. Needless to say, the one attracting the kidnappers' attention would inevitably become the sacrificial lamb.
"No, no! Let's not escape anymore. Let's just wait for the police to rescue us! I'm not running!" Claudia curled up into a ball, refusing to face reality.
Henry held her face firmly and spoke with unusual seriousness, "Listen, Claudia. Look at me, and listen carefully-"
"Do you want all three of us to die here?" Claudia instinctively shook her head.
Henry continued, "No, so you have to listen to me and Lucas. I'll go distract the kidnappers later, and you and Lucas will run straight out of the door without looking k. We don't know when the police wilt arrive, and waiting any longer will only lead to a dead end. Even if something happens to me, don't look back.
"I love you very much, and I never want anything bad to happen to you. I also wish I could be there to watch you and Thalia grow up, but saying goodbye is a lesson you must learn in life, and today I'll teach you. This is the last thing I can teach you."
He smiled bitterly. Claudia was already sobbing uncontrollably. He would like to watch his daughters grow up he could, but someone had to make the sacrifice. He could not bear to let Lucas and Claudia sacrifice themselves, given that they were still so young, so it had to be him.
Henry then turned to Lucas. "Lucas, don't feel too guilty about what happened today. It's the kidnappers' fault, and you're also a victim. But have one request. When you get out of here, please take care of my daughter for the rest of her life. Can you promise me that? Don't get me wrong. I just want you to treat her as your sister. Can you do that?"
