My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1099: Unable to Breathe

When I was tormented and in pain time and again, I truly felt the agony of being unable to breathe. I feared that kind of ending would be next to me again.

I was even more afraid of losing everything I once longed for. Coming back, the troubles piled up again and again, pressing down on me until I truly realized that this was not what I wanted. What I wanted was so simple, yet so difficult to achieve.

”Child, I am actually not swamped with work, nor am I as busy as you imagine. What I want is simply for your family to be happy, for your mother to recover her health. Perhaps all this sounds like a fantasy to you now, and you won’t believe a word I say.

Child, could you try to have a little more trust in your father, even just a tiny bit? You should trust that no matter when or where, I would never do anything to harm my wife.

Maybe in your eyes, every word I say as a father is untrustworthy. Perhaps it’s because I’ve never been one to keep promises. But do you understand how much I’ve loved your mother all these years? I have given up many things for her. But as long as your mother desires something, I go all out to get it for her. Isn’t that enough? What more do you want me to do for her?

I don’t want to say anything. I have no right to judge your mother or say she’s ungrateful. Everyone has moments of greed, and everyone wants to have more of what they can get. But not everyone is a Saint. Is it really better to obtain more of what you desire? Can these things, once obtained, be held onto firmly for a lifetime without ever slipping away? That’s impossible!”

”Dad, why do you still think every word I say results from selfishness? Don’t you understand what I’ve been saying all along? Can’t you stop twisting my words so decisively, stop distorting facts, and then evaluating everyone’s life path based on your so-called definitions? Everyone walks their path differently. Shouldn’t we each live peacefully? Why make everyone exhausted? Why confuse and overwhelm everyone again and again?

Right now, you shouldn’t think of anything else. What’s most important is to take good care of your mother, allowing her to live healthily. Everything you do should make your family feel happy and joyful. But if you continue to approach everyone with this suspicious attitude, do you think you can make your mother happy? Can you wish her illness to suddenly improve? Even if it could improve her condition, will she be left alone again? Since you’ve said I can come here to accompany her if I have no time, then remember what you said today.

Child, it hasn’t been easy for our family to reach where we are today. It took effort and everyone’s support to achieve this accomplishment. Why regard everyone with such suspicion?

You smile now but don’t understand how difficult it is to build a family. Even if it seems easy to establish a family, maintaining peace within it is tough. Why suspect everyone every time, thinking each person’s actions are wrong? Ultimately, it’s all for the family, hoping dear ones can live happily, comfortably, and with ease!

If you could show a little less suspicion and more kindness to everyone in the world, it wouldn’t be so chaotic. What everyone desires is so simple, yet you make everything seem so passive, making everyone live on edge alongside you. Do you think this is the kind of life everyone wants? Have you ever cared if your relatives can bear such changes? You repeatedly think your thoughts are correct. How are we any different? We are all family. Shouldn’t our attitudes towards things be the same?

We are in a father-son relationship, a fact true no matter where or when. Our attitudes towards things are mostly the same, with not much difference. Our perspectives on issues, attitudes towards others, and our family members are identical. There’s no deviation. Why do you think that the things I supposedly did wrong were not for your own good, but out of selfishness?”

Ran Zhihan unexpectedly felt a surge of madness when hearing her husband and son arguing because of her issues. She grabbed someone with her hand, afraid and unwilling to have both of them stand there. She felt like their presence gave her immense pressure, making it hard to breathe, a feeling she disliked.

Zhang Yichen saw his wife inexplicably turn into a different person, a version that seemed unfamiliar, wondering how much pressure he had placed on her to make her like this. How much more could he shoulder to stop her from wanting to attack people like a mad person whenever she saw someone? Could he not provide her happiness and joy? As a husband, was he truly so inadequate? If he had been willing to accompany her a bit initially or said a few more words, could things have been better now?

Zhang Ni felt anxious and heartbroken seeing his mother in such a frenzied state. She was his mother, after all, a person he couldn’t bear to harm. Who was to blame for her condition? No one knew the purpose behind his actions. Yet, all of it was plainly visible now. What harm did he bring to his family with everything he did? Would his mother not have become like this if his grandparents hadn’t returned? Could everyone in the family have continued living peacefully? When did everything begin to change? Why did it change so abruptly, leaving him with no time to respond or any way to handle it? It was utterly perplexing! Such a shift made him never want to experience it ever again, yearning now only for his mother’s stable survival and quick recovery...

Happiness can bring joy but also pain. No one can forget everything they’ve gone through. Choosing this path has already determined my outcome.
