Chapter 1697 Living in the Past
Mrs. Ning looked at her son with tears in her eyes, unable to say a word.
“Later, God gave you a second chance. I was sick and you needed money, so you found my father again. I can’t remember what happened because of the illness, but from what I can remember, my father was always a responsible and good father. He was 100% passionate about me and you.
“I once blamed him for marrying another woman and abandoning us. I even went to confront him, but my father only told me that he was bad, that he wasn’t good enough, that everything was his fault, and that he would prove that he could be a good father in the future. In the short one and a half years of my life since then, although I didn’t see my father many times, his actual actions confirmed one thing to me—that he was the best father in the world.”
Mrs. Ning listened to Ning Wenhao’s words and burst into tears once again.
“Mother, happiness isn’t given to anyone. Happiness comes from ourselves.” Ning Wenhao pointed at his own heart.
“My father loves me, and he loves you, so even if you ignored him and pretended he never existed, he still used his love to take care of us as much as he could, never complaining. Even when you ignored him—when he did things for you and bought things for you-he could never hide the smile in his eyes.
“But during that second chance with my father, what did you do? You were angry; angry that my father married someone else and had a son with her. Angry that that woman was always messing with you, looking to embarrass you. So, every time my father expressed his love to you, you had always despised it.
“Until my father died, you spent most of your time crying your eyes out until you nearly went blind. Then, you fainted and slumbered for a long while. Because of this, the old man took advantage of my young age and the fact that you were unable to do anything in your fainting spells. That allowed him to sweep the inheritance that my father left for us clean.
“Mom, don’t you think you’ve always been very self-centered and stuck in the past? Fate time and time again chose to favor you, yet you squandered it every time. Back then, you chose to leave my father and just like that, you left for ten years. I don’t understand why you were so angry and sad when you brought me back to see my father. Have you forgotten that you were the one who betrayed the relationship?
“My father ignored the past and treated us so well, yet you kept him a thousand miles away from your heart until he died. You were so heartbroken you fainted. If I had told you about what my father said any earlier, wouldn’t you be even more heartbroken?”
Mrs. Ning cried so hard she could not even speak. She blamed herself deeply as she thought about the painful past involving Ning Haoyu.
“It’s my fault! It’s my fault! It’s all my fault! I’ve let him down…”
“So, do you feel like you’ve let my father down? In the future, you’ll definitely accompany him all the time. You’ll go to his grave every day to burn incense and accompany him. From now on, your life will be nothing more than being a walking corpse.”
Mrs. Ning, “…”
“You’ll watch me worry for you and feel sorry for you, but you won’t be able to escape from this vicious cycle. You’ll be unable to help yourself from missing my father frantically. So, you’ll continue to immerse yourself in this until you miss out on all the time that can be spent with me instead…”
