My Alleged Husband-Chapter 885 - 829: The Incomparable Human Heart (Extended - )

Ran Zhihan slowly felt that her entire body was becoming uncomfortable, but she didn’t know how to express this to her husband. She could only silently bear all the pressure alone, fighting the torment of illness in isolation while everyone else continued to bicker over trivial household matters. She truly didn’t understand what she, as a daughter-in-law, was supposed to do. She had already given up so much and stopped intervening in their affairs, yet why were they still unwilling to recognize their mistakes, to let go of the prejudices in their hearts, and insist on fighting? What good did it do for any of them?

Yichen was constantly wondering, if one day he too left this world, what would he feel? If something were to happen to his grandfather, what path would he, as a grandson, ultimately follow? He couldn’t predict it; what he feared most deep down was losing his dearest ones, fearing the loss of Old Master Zhang.

Sometimes when he pondered slowly, he realized that loss wasn’t the scariest thing. The true horror was when someone was right by your side, yet her heart was set on revenge, not with you, entangled with someone else instead. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seeing his son’s worried appearance every day, Zhentian’s heart was inevitably distressed. There was nothing he could do. He knew what his son’s innermost worries were, and as a father, if he couldn’t share those burdens, then he should just silently stand by. He should not delve into past issues; he should live happily without taking all the blame upon himself, as that would only wear him down tremendously.

"Yichen, just by looking at your expression, mom and dad know what you’re thinking. No matter what kind of thoughts are deep in your heart, please remember that a family should never be torn apart. No matter how much you hate, how much mom and dad wish we could return to this household right before your eyes and be an eyesore to you, but since we’ve come back, we ask you to try to accept us. Believe that we will treat you sincerely, our sincerity is not just spoken but proven through actions. We will try our best to make up for the hurt we’ve caused you in the past, and if it’s truly irreparable, let us be father and son in the next life. Then, I will surely love you dearly and repay doubly for everything I owe you in this life!"

Perhaps you no longer believe in this world, but every time we’re together, how much resistance you feel deep inside. You are very clear about it, just like I am. I can’t forgive all the wrongs because I know how hard it is to forget the past unless one’s brain has an issue or one truly has amnesia!

Child, everyone has their inner pressures, regardless of their magnitude. Life must always look forward; you can’t keep hiding from the pressures you have to face, as you can’t escape them. Everyone has their own path to walk, whether long or short, and each person will endure different pressures. So why let those pressures make you restless and agitated, when you could be living a happy and joyous life? That would only drive a person insane step by step. And if you really were to go mad, what would happen to grandpa? What would we do? When you make your decisions, you should also consider our feelings, don’t treat us as saints. We can’t be indifferent. We will always genuinely care for our own children. Even if one day you truly don’t want us to return to this home and stay by your side, we still love you, and will still silently protect you from behind because you are my son, my only son, and the greatest pride of my life!"

"Dad, I have thought many times, can one’s sincerity truly be exchanged for another’s sincerity? I tried trading my heart for the sincerity of others, but when I faced their hurt, I realized sincerity can’t be exchanged at all. If that’s the case, why should I bother being sentimental?"
