Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The man was the cause of his mother’s mental breakdown and his grandma’s death .
Why do good people live short lives, while the villains live forever?
Huo Zhenning covered his face with his hands and sobbed like a child .
Lu Zhaoyang could not bear to watch . She looked away, but could not find anything to say to Huo Yunting .
She did not know the details of what transpired that night, but it was not difficult to guess .
If she was in this situation, she would not be able to forgive the other person so easily either .
She knew how much old Mrs Huo loved Huo Yunting and how much the latter loved and respected his grandmother too .
Old Mrs Huo’s passing would cause the deepest pain in her grandson .
No acts of consolation would help . In the end, Lu Zhaoyang merely stood quietly by his side .
(Three days later . )
Old Mrs Huo was buried at the Huo family cemetery .
Many people came to see her one last time . After the ceremonies were over, they took their leave, one by one .
Huo Yunting stood by the tombstone and stared at his grandmother’s photo . His face was white as a sheet while his bloodshot eyes looked dull and unfocused .
Lu Zhaoyang came to stand beside him .
Huo Yunting did not seem to register her presence . His vision turned murky as he recalled the way his grandmother always smiled at him .
Suddenly, the photo on the tombstone seemed to be smiling at him and calling his name .
“Yunting…”
“I’m here, grandma . ”
He replied without thinking .
Lu Zhaoyang burst into tears and buried her face in her hands .
The hope in his eyes vanished as he shook his head and smiled mockingly at himself .
He had forgotten .
Grandma was gone .
They stood by the tombstone until the sky turned dark . Finally, Huo Yunting dragged his tired body back to the old family house .
He stayed alone in the study for the entire night .
The next day, when he regained some measure of composure, he gathered Huo Li and Lu Zhaoyang to join him and go back to the city . There, he dived straight into work .
At night, when his son came home from school and did not see his father, he asked curiously, “Yangyang, where is daddy?”
He looked up at his mother and asked innocently .
“Your dad is…” Lu Zhaoyang found it difficult to explain . “Your great grandma has passed away, so he is feeling under the weather . ”
The boy tilted his head . “Passed away means she is sleeping underground and never eating and drinking again, right? Poor great grandma . ”
He was still too young to comprehend the meaning of death .
His childish ideas did not lighten Lu Zhaoyang’s mood . She stroked her son’s hair and suddenly realized that the man currently hiding in the study had not eaten anything that day . It worried her .
“Xuxu, I’m going to prepare something in the kitchen, then you’re going to help me take it to daddy . If he says he doesn’t feel like eating, then you must think of a way to make sure he does, alright?”
She had sent lunch to Huo Yunting earlier at work, but he had merely tasted a few mouthfuls before ignoring the rest of his meal . She did not know how to make him eat, but their son might .
“Okay, but don’t forget about me, Yangyang, I’m starving…”
“Of course . ”
Lu Zhaoyang whipped up an omelette rice and seafood soup . She then brought the dishes to the study before handing them over to her son .
“Be careful . ”
“Okay!”
She knocked on the door . When she heard footsteps approaching, she quickly hid away .
Huo Yunting opened the door and saw his cute little boy standing outside . The sight took him by surprise .
The boy raised the tray of dishes up high .
“Time to eat, daddy!”
