Chapter 2764: Chapter 905: The Truth

Once inside, they saw Zhou Dachuan lying on the hospital bed.

Some of the tubes on his body had already been removed.

But he still looked very weak.

And he had noticeably lost a lot of weight.

Lu Yinxing and Ah Yan walked to the bedside.

Zhou Dachuan turned his head to glance at them.

Then he suddenly raised his hand: "You must be Yinxing."

Lu Yinxing quickly sat down on the chair next to the bed and held one of Zhou Dachuan’s hands: "I am Lu Yinxing, Uncle Zhou, thank you. It’s really great that you’ve made it through."

Zhou Dachuan smiled: "You look really cute. It seems my son has a taste for sunny girls, just like me. Back in the day, your mother also had a baby face like yours, always bringing joy."

Lu Yinxing found the words a bit odd, but couldn’t find something to say for the moment.

Lu Yinxing looked up at Ah Yan who was beside her.

Ah Yan finally spoke: "Let’s not talk about this; the doctor said you need to rest well now."

Zhou Dachuan seemed to be in pretty good spirits.

He looked at Lu Yinxing with a smiling expression.

Though his voice lacked strength, there was a kind of affection in his tone: "Ah Yan, these days as I’ve been lying here, it’s like I’ve been dreaming, as if I’ve returned to twenty years ago, back when I first met your mother. I think this dream is wonderful, so much so that I didn’t want to wake up, thinking it would be blissful to leave with your mother like that. But in the end, I still can’t rest easy about you. There are some things I must say to you before I die."

Ah Yan looked at Zhou Dachuan: "Let’s talk about it another time."

Zhou Dachuan said: "I’m afraid I may not have another chance, son. I know you hate me. It was me who drove you out of the house back then, who broke ties with you. I even made it seem like you were responsible for your mother’s death, burdening you with such a painful thing at such a young age. But that’s not the truth. Your mother didn’t die because of you but because of me. It was because I offended someone, and they retaliated against me, making her the scapegoat. I was the one who should have died. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t suffered from this guilt, living a life worse than death. So, before I die, I must tell you the truth. You shouldn’t live your whole life burdened by guilt."

Ah Yan stood next to him, his head always lowered.

The bangs on his forehead covered his eyes.

Lu Yinxing couldn’t clearly see his expression.

But Ah Yan’s fingers, clenched until they were white, trembled slightly.

Lu Yinxing could imagine how tormented Ah Yan’s heart must be right now.

Although Lu Yinxing didn’t fully understand the grudges between him and his father,

just hearing these snippets was enough to leave Lu Yinxing shocked.

Zhou Dachuan continued: "Back then, I drove you away to protect you. The gang was in chaos at that time, and there was a mole. Every day my life hung by a thread. If you stayed with me, I feared you’d end up like your mother. So, I severed ties with you, cruelly drove you away, and couldn’t tell you the truth to make the act convincing. I originally thought if I survived, I’d find you and treat you well. Later, I did survive and became a real boss, but I realized you were still capable of living independently without being by my side. You’re so smart. I couldn’t let you grow up in such a dark environment. I hoped you’d grow up like your mother, righteous and open, able to live in the sunlight. So, I didn’t look for you anymore. Later, you suddenly disappeared, and even I couldn’t find you."
