My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1356 - 1181: The Faultless Me (2)

He hurried over here and happened to hear his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law talking. When he heard these conversations, his heart was deeply moved.

No one ever imagined their family would one day become so harmonious. No one thought they would face such a family like this. For everyone, this is the best outcome; each person’s heart would become happy and blessed.

He saw people standing outside, but didn’t see his son among them. He knew his son probably hadn’t woken up yet. How desperately he wished his son could be standing outside now!

Has he really gone too far with what he’s done over the years, leading heaven to place all the punishment on his son? If that’s truly the case, then he’s the one at fault. Why should these punishments fall on his son, can’t they fall on him? Let him bear such pain, let him lie there; indeed, if the one waiting outside were his son, he’d feel very happy and fulfilled inside. Even if he could possibly eternally sleep away, he’d willingly bear all the pain for his son’s sake.

It wasn’t until this very moment that he realized, although he said time and time again that he didn’t care about his son’s life or death, or what his life was like outside, let alone whether he was wandering aimlessly or had a home to return to.

But now what he cares about isn’t just his son’s life, he’s already forgiven his son. He wants to bring him back home, and properly compensate him for all the shortcomings he’s had as a father over the years.

Xia Jingyi saw Old Master Zhang coming over, and felt he must properly discuss these matters with his father. This was truly his own fault.

Since waking up, he hadn’t gone to meet his father, nor had he offered apologies. Perhaps this would balance the feelings in his heart. Now that they had come to this point, why not take this opportunity to clarify everything?

"Dad, why are you here?"

Everyone turned to look in the direction Xia Jingyi was gazing, and they saw an old man whose hair had long turned white, walking with faltering steps, slowly leaning on the railing to walk over. They realized it was Old Master Zhang.

"Grandpa, why aren’t you resting well in the ward? Why have you come over now? Didn’t I tell you? My dad is fine; he’s just undergoing treatment inside now, and he’ll soon wake up. Why are you being so stubborn and came over? Do you know your health can’t withstand it?"

"Yichen, Grandpa knows the words you said are just to ease Grandpa’s mind. If your father were truly fine, would you hide the truth from me? Would you ask the medical staff to help you conceal the whole story? Do you really think I’m so foolish that I wouldn’t know anything?

A child shouldn’t be too naïve in doing things. No matter what you do, even if you feel everything is flawless, someday it will show cracks. These days, your visits to Grandpa have become less frequent; Grandpa’s heart was suspicious, but chose not to speak because I chose to believe you, trust that every word you said to Grandpa was true.

Today, I managed to come along this way, and all I want is to explore and see how my son is, whether he’s woken up. As a father, shouldn’t I be concerned about my son?"

Zhang Yichen felt embarrassed by what his grandfather said. How could it be wrong for a father to care for his son? Maybe this is the love his father has always wanted. Over the years, he could somewhat sense his father’s guilt and remorse inside. How could he truly stay at ease lying there and watch his father suffer so outside? Perhaps his father’s coming over was indeed a kind of medicine, one that could truly wake his father up!
