Chapter 596 - 599: Lugarishi Syndrome, An Incurable Disease 6_1
Gu Shaocheng glanced at He Tianqi leaving, slowly stood up, speaking in a whisper, wary of disturbing the woman sleeping eternally in the coffin.
"I will do it myself."
No matter who lay inside, he would not entrust anyone else with this task.
Her hair was still jet black; all he needed was a single strand.
I’m sorry.
He mumbled the three words almost silently.
And then... the coffin was opened!
.....................
Five minutes later, it was all over. It was done.
Gu Shaocheng handed the hair to his subordinate, giving two commands.
"Do a DNA test immediately."
"Cremate the body and rebury it here."
Why preserve her appearance with a crystal coffin when her body and face have degenerated to this extent?
It would be better to cremate her, allowing her a peaceful rest.
If she indeed is his mother, Gu Shaocheng prayed to the sky: Mother, you wouldn’t wish to be preserved like this, would you?
Forgive me, if it truly is you, allow your son to cremate you.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground once again, unable to rise.
Time passed like sand slipping through fingers, dawn turned into dusk, two entire days had passed!
However, the man under the cherry blossom tree hadn’t moved, not eating or drinking, kneeling straight, as though punishing himself for his unforgivable actions.
No matter how much his subordinates tried to persuade him, even bringing food to his side, he didn’t even glance at it.
Alone in the ice and snow,
Enduring on his own!
....................................
After 56 hours, the sky started to silently snow.
Snowflakes adorned Gu Shaocheng’s head like glistening white crystals.
His personal guards surrounded the cherry blossom forest, unsure of how to comfort their master. All they could do was silently protect their revered leader.
"Master, the DNA test report is ready."
A subordinate approached him, offering the report. However, Gu Shaocheng did not accept it, merely asking, "Tell me the result."
Leng Tong glanced at Gu Shaocheng, then nodded. She opened the report and after a moment, announced, "The DNA test confirms: a maternal relationship."
In that moment, the four words crashed down upon him.
A hot tear unknowingly rolled down his cheek, disappearing into the soil without a trace.
Gu Shaocheng closed his eyes, letting the tears continue to flow.
His feelings at that moment were unexplainable to anyone else.
For so many years, he had harbored resentment, despair...
Only now had he finally realized the truth.
His mother never abandoned him;
His mother never harmed him;
His mother never withheld her love;
His mother gave him nothing less than complete maternal love;
His mother had always been a gentle and kind woman.
"Mom..."
His lips trembling, his vision blurred with tears, Gu Shaocheng mustered the strength in his tight throat to speak. The mere act of voicing the single syllable seemed to require all of his strength.
"Mom... I’m Shaocheng... your undutiful son..."
