Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Child Wants to Support but the Parent Is Not Waiting (Part 3)
“Dad, your child is back!”
It was an ordinary sentence, but it made Elderly Mr. Di shudder, his originally dim eyes suddenly brightening.
His eyes were firmly fixed on the two figures at the doorway, without blinking.
“Third Child…”
He called out in a soft voice, so low that Liu Sisi standing in front of him could hardly hear him.
But Di Yelei heard him!
“Dad! It’s Third Child! Third Child has returned, Dad…”
Di Yelei lunged, rushing straight from the door to Di Yelei’s side: “Dad, Third Child has returned! It’s Yelei who has returned, it’s Yelei…”
“Third Child…”
A faint smile finally appeared on Elderly Mr. Di’s face, he tried to lift his hand up, but halfway it fell weakly back down.
Di Yelei quickly held his hand, placing it over his own chest: “Dad…”
Before he could finish speaking, his tears began to fall!
A man does not shed tears easily, only when he’s truly heartbroken!
Who can really understand the pain of parting by life and death? Di Yelei’s tears were streaming down continuously, unstoppable.
“Good! It’s good you’re back!”
Elderly Mr. Di struggled to raise his hand, finally touching Di Yelei’s face.
His hand was cold, void of any warmth, but it momentarily warmed Di Yelei’s heart.
He tried hard to wipe away Third Child’s tears, but it was strenuous for him. He forced himself to lean on Ms. Zhao, smiling at Di Yelei.
“A man sheds blood….not tears! Don’t cry, you’re not allowed to cry! Cough cough….” he began to cough violently again.
Di Yelei wiped away his tears forcefully: “Yes! Third Child obeys your instructions, Dad. A man sheds blood not tears!”
“Good, good! Third Child, your dad… is joyous! Having a son like you in his lifetime, it’s such a joy… truly a joy…”
The light in Elderly Mr. Di’s face slowly faded.
The old man who had been standing at the door since the beginning slowly moved forward. As everyone curiously watched him, he bypassed everyone, walked up to Elderly Mr. Di, and slowly knelt down.
Then, with the utmost respect, he bowed. It wasn’t until he had completed three bows that everyone finally comprehended.
The old man finally lifted his head, his face streaked with tears: “Unfilial son, Hongyuan, greets his father!”
Elderly Mr. Di seemed astonished, unable to stop his listing body from straightening: “You, you are Hongyuan…”
“Yes! Dad! Your son Hongyuan is back! Hongyuan has returned!”
Di Hongyuan had actually returned? Such news is simply too startling! If you’d say that Di Yelei’s timely return was a pleasant surprise, then Di Hongyuan’s arrival at this critical juncture of life and death is shocking!
Di Hongyuan was talking while unbuttoning his shirt, revealing a strange birthmark on his chest.
“Dad, Hongyuan has returned!”
Elderly Mr. Di didn’t speak. He stared at Di Hongyuan without saying a word. After a while, just when everyone doubted if he had passed away, he spoke again.
“It’s good that you’re back! It’s good as long as you’re back…. Your dad can finally rest in peace and meet your mom. She has been waiting for me over there…”
“Dad! You shouldn’t be saying that, you should live for a hundred years, Dad….”
Di Yelei was choked up and could no longer speak.
Even he couldn’t convince himself with these words, how could they convince Elderly Mr. Di?
