My Alleged Husband

Chapter 997: Chapter 889 Lies (3)

Zhang Zhentian never knew that his son harbored such a deep grudge against him. Only when he heard it did he realize that his son’s hatred was so profound. To prove that he is the strongest, his son endured immense hardships and even devilish training, all to show him. What kind of hatred would drive his son to this extent? Had every choice he made, every decision been right or wrong? Reflecting on every action he had taken, how outrageous were his mistakes?

”In fact, at the moment of abandonment, we didn’t feel regret; we couldn’t bring ourselves to be reluctant. I had no choice, I wholeheartedly wanted to roam the world with your mother, so I heartlessly abandoned you. When I left, your mother cried because, no matter what, you were still our child. As parents, abandoning our own child is unbearable even for an instant. Yet, I never knew that the years would accumulate such deep resentment in you towards us. Step by step, you were filled with hate for us. Aren’t you tired living like this? Consider everything you’ve done; I can understand your reasons, understand your motivations. But I’ll never forget that moment when we left you. You cried so heartbreakingly. She held you tightly, refusing to let go. She only wanted to keep you by her side. It was originally her idea to leave, but ultimately, it was him who chose to let go.

He was willing to give up his freedom for you, stay home and never step out, just to accompany you. For him, that’s the greatest happiness because she is a mother. But I couldn’t bear to see her abandon her own freedom for you. He admired freedom so much, worshipped it so fervently, that it was like his lifeline. If he lost his freedom, wouldn’t he be abandoning his very life? How could I let her face such a fate?”

”You disagreed, so you took my mother away, coaxing her into leaving with you, heartlessly abandoning me at home. You said you were going out for a few days, wanting to travel the world. You could have taken me and grandpa along, but you didn’t, which proves just how selfish you both truly are deep down.

In your eyes, the interests of family and friends, the welfare of the clan, can never compare to your so-called freedom. Is freedom really that good?

For the sake of freedom, you ignored my inner pain, time and time again. I told the whole world that you were my parents. I desperately wanted to tell everyone I have parents, that they were just out traveling and couldn’t come back temporarily. But I couldn’t say it; I had no confidence to say it because, deep down, I knew better than anyone that parents don’t just go out for a few days or travel outside. They chose to abandon me to seek their freedom.

Time and again, I deceived myself, burying my thoughts deep within. I dare not let anyone believe in my motives. I can only show everyone that everything I do is correct, no matter what I sacrificed or gained in the end. It was all part of my journey to the final outcome. How can I blame others for the hurt they caused me, fearing the betrayal that keeps happening?

You may never understand the piercing pain of being betrayed by your own family, being abandoned and hurt over and over. What an unforgettable, profound anguish it is, burying all the pain deep within. I never tell anyone. The hurt is only understood by oneself. Even if spoken, others won’t truly empathize; they might see it as just an experience, a light description. The anguish, the hurt is felt only by one’s heart. It is a torture I cannot forget. I can’t forget the heavy hurt you caused me, or the blows grandpa suffered because of you, similar to my wife now. Because of you, she became like this. When things happen, you want to flee, pat your back and leave. Is there not even a sense of responsibility in your eyes?

Do you think you can come and go as you please, say a few nice words, and others will forgive you? Allowing you back home until you want to leave, then shout at others and easily walk away? Is it really that easy at home? If it were, anyone could enter our family. Our family wouldn’t be as strong or stand firm to this day.

You should consider things from grandpa’s perspective. If you have any conscience, then please sincerely apologize to grandpa after you return. Don’t let this matter make him angry at anyone. Today, my wife turned out like this, but the mistakes weren’t entirely yours. They are deeply connected to us. We will take responsibility for our errors. I will take good care of her and help her recover quickly. But if you truly feel sorry for grandpa, guilty towards this family, then go back and have a good talk with him. Promise to stay in this family forever, no matter what happens, never leaving its doors.

If you truly want to achieve this, then I will believe you’re genuinely changed, willing to stay for everyone in this family. If you don’t truly want to achieve even the basics, it only makes me think you’re pretending. You’ve never considered your family’s feelings. Please stand by your family and consider how your actions affect them. Until now, I have nothing more to say to you. The road ahead, whichever path or consequence you choose, is up to you. I can say more, but it will only be in vain. If you’re determined to leave this family, my words will have no effect, but I still urge you to think carefully. Such hurt is already more than enough!”
