My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1009: Fear

Zhang Yichen searched for a long, long time without finding his wife. Has she really evaporated from this world?

He could hardly believe it. Is this really reality?

A perfectly normal person suddenly went mad, someone who loved him so much is now gone. What exactly should he do?

He thought and thought, finally deciding perhaps he really should report to the police. No matter how vast his network, it might not be faster than the police. The police helping to search might find her quickly, whereas if he continued searching aimlessly, who knows how long it would take to find his lost beloved wife?

If one day his wife could really return to his side, perhaps that would be the most important, happiest, and most complete moment for him. But how long must he wait for this day? Would he really be able to wait for such a day in his lifetime? He lost so much in the past, gave up so much, but he never thought that one day he would lose the woman who loved him the most.

Zhang Zhentian saw his son’s helplessness. He also knew what his son was worried about. Indeed, such a kind girl vanished from this world, nowhere to be found even after combing every corner globally. If it were his wife, he would go mad the same way. Especially for someone newly married with only a few years of companionship, his inner desire for family love wasn’t any less than his own. He felt he owed him too much. Should he return to the life of a mercenary to help him find that one girl in the world?

Meanwhile, he was torn. If he truly walked this path, what would be the outcome? Who could know?

But if he chose not to help his child with this matter, then his son might live his whole life in torment and struggle.

What decision should he make to be flawless, one that wouldn’t harm others, avoid his pain, and live without such sadness? With power and influence, he’s homeless. After losing everything, returning home only to face such a choice again, is fate really joking with him? Why doesn’t it give him a perfect start, or more opportunities, to follow his journey without interference, without reshaping everything for others?

Old Master Zhang watched Zhang Yichen struggle through life. He knew his grandson faced another major decision. He didn’t know what attitude should be used to face everything. He also didn’t know how to comfort him this time. Frustrations and difficulties had slowly drained his patience. He wouldn’t wait foolishly for comfort anymore. He wanted change from his efforts, not to await destiny’s arrangement for every living moment.

”Grandfather, I truly don’t understand. I’ve searched the world, yet I can’t find her. I’m scared she might disappear from my life. When she was with me, I didn’t cherish her, and now I’ll pay for those mistakes. I can’t pretend none of this happened. My desires are simple—I want her happy and safe beside me, even just to talk to me, I’d feel content. Everything is against my imagination now. This all lost its original essence.

Mom and Dad, you’ve seen it. I don’t know where to search to bring her back. You’ve seen my madness; aren’t you scared? Your son has gone mad, paying everything over trivial matters, losing reason, letting everything control his mind, he’s totally irrelevant now. Aren’t you scared?”

”Child, your parents aren’t scared, instead, they see you as a real man, standing tall and capable of protecting his family.

Nobody can live unchanged. Even a living person might someday collapse; they’ll never want their life to stay the same, live like that.

Everyone chooses their way of life. How each steps forward is privately known, even standing in your shoes, nobody can decide your path.

Perhaps everyone should anticipate their future. Staying put means never advancing. Maybe her leaving is a growth for you, teaching you to experience the departure of one most cherished. Leaving its unforgettable taste, staying within you lifelong.

Child, don’t forget your original intentions, never doubt your path. Believe each stride is correct; don’t dwell in doubt.

Otherwise, you might never find happiness, sacrificing everything for the undeserving. You could enjoy joyful times.

Think deeply, if he sees you now, do you think he’ll be happy, joyful?

Since knowing you’re his lifetime’s love, it’s obvious he’s like this for you. Perhaps he escaped subconsciously for reassurance. Why never consider his perspective, things may be better than imagined. Given time he might come back, work on your state. Without numbness, he might not be scared!”
