Chapter 2399: Chapter 2231: Past Events in the Diary (4)

Don’t always be so selfish in everything you do. Now that you can stand here alive, the person you should be most grateful for is not me, but your sons who, in the days right after your accident, kept vigil outside the hospital room day and night. What for? It was all for their family. Even though his heart was filled with a thousand types of unwillingness, he couldn’t just ignore you because you are his parents. Why can’t you try to see things from his perspective and understand his difficulties? He wants to maintain his dignity; he’s a person too. Now he’s a big boss, an unattainable figure in the eyes of everyone. Yet, for your sake, he gave up his so-called principles and his own dignity. All he wants is for his parents to stay by his side. Why can’t you even meet this basic expectation?

You haven’t fulfilled even the slightest parental responsibility for your children. For me, as a father, you haven’t fulfilled the responsibility of a son. For being a grandson, you haven’t fulfilled the duties of a grandparent. Every time, in everything you do, you’ve never genuinely aimed to fulfill your duties. You’re just pretending for the sake of your reputation, willing to sacrifice anything, even your own family!

"Dad, that’s not how it is. We’ve both realized our mistakes now. Since you’ve chosen to forgive us, we should stay by your side, honor you, and accompany you. I’ll never do anything so ungrateful again. You painstakingly raised me, yet I’ve never fulfilled my responsibilities as a son. The marriages you introduced to me, none of them were satisfactory, so I chose the woman I love most. But in the end, I ended up with this result. I know your heart is not reconciled for me, but whatever the case, since I chose my own path, no matter how unhappy my future might be, or even if I live in pain forever, as long as the one I love is by my side, that’s enough for me. Don’t make things difficult for her anymore. Everyone has their own challenges, and only by relying on our own efforts can we achieve the life we want, right?"

"Why are you still making excuses now? Do you think saying these things to me now has any meaning?

Initially, I really wanted you to return to this family. What could be more important than you coming back to me? I just want the family to reunite. Do you know how excited I was when I knew you were coming back? You never considered what kind of torment my heart truly felt. Over and over, all you wanted was that bit of your own benefit. Do you really understand what I want? You can’t even give me a simple feeling, nor the best care from family members. Do you really deserve to be my son? Is this how you choose to hurt your father by being my son? What is a father in your eyes, someone you can hurt at will? Do you really think I wouldn’t feel a bit of heartache from my inner wounds?

Child, I know the fault of the son means a failing of the father.

But ask yourself, have I ever treated you poorly all these years? No matter how many things you’ve done, did I ultimately choose to forgive you for shutting that door long ago? I know your son is now unsure about how to face you. I can’t let him be stuck in the middle and torn apart. He will definitely have to accept you reluctantly for me. But if that’s truly the case, I don’t want you to come back. I don’t want him to suffer any harm. I watched him grow up with my own eyes. I saw him walk forward with each step leaving a trail of blood!

You remain indifferent and ignore all the hardships he endured. But I can’t because he’s the one I painstakingly raised, and you’ve never been by his side. Do you think none of this has anything to do with you at all? As parents, seeing your son suffer such pain, do you feel no heartache or sorrow at all? Have you really never felt guilt or remorse in your hearts?"
