Chapter 868 Run Away From Home (1/2)

Dylan, who always took himself as a little man, had never cried in front of Beryl before. But now he couldn't hold his sorrow anymore and burst into tears.

He sobbed and whined helplessly, ”Beryl, Beryl, what should I do? I'm not my dad's own biological son, and my parents are going to abandon me. What am I supposed to do?”

It would never have occurred to Dylan that he might not be David's biological son. He thought God must have been kidding him.

Beryl was rather confused. Believing that she had heard incorrectly, she rubbed her ears to clear them, and then looked at him as she asked, ”Dylan, isn't there a mistake? How is it possible that you are not Uncle Xu's son? Well, I mean, if you're not his son, why did he then raise you?”

”No, there's no mistake. He probably only found out about it recently.” Dylan shook his head vigorously, and tears continued rolling from his large and frightened eyes. He knew full well that his mom and dad had been fighting and arguing because of him the previous night. He had heard their loud and angry voices.

Realizing that returning to the Xu home was no longer an option for him, Dylan Xu therefore stopped crying, and then he took Beryl's hand. ”Beryl, would you like to run away from home with me?”

'It doesn't matter whether I can return home or not. As long as I have Beryl around me, anywhere can be my home, ' he thought.

”But, my mom and dad would worry about me...” Beryl was caught in a dilemma between kinship and friendship. Quietly struggling with this difficult decision, she fiddled with the straps of her schoolbag.

She knew that her mom and dad loved her so much, and they would be deeply hurt if she left with Dylan.

And if they felt unhappy, then she would feel unhappy, too.

”So, are you going to abandon me, too?” Seeing Beryl's indecisiveness and hearing her commitment to her family, Dylan seemed to have lost his hope, and the light of his eyes faded away. He loosened his grip on her and lowered his head with great disappointment.

His mom and dad didn't want him, and even Beryl was leaving him. He had to face all those frustrations on his own.
