74 Her existence was a lie (2/2)
But you are here now, and even though I'm sorry for what I've done, I don't regret having you.
You have been my reason to continue living and my reason to persevere and I love you.
You've had many questions since childhood, you've wondered why your dad doesn't love you and why our family is so torn apart, I'll answer you now.
Liling, it's all my fault. Don't hate your dad and don't blame him, I betrayed him and had you with another man.
He's not your biological father. ”
Why was her life so sad? Couldn't she smile just a little? Even if it's for a few hours?
How was she to accept that the man she had lived with throughout her life was not her dad?
That her existence was a lie?
She couldn't hold her tears, this was gravely unbearable.
Then who was her biological father?
As she thought about it, she picked up the letter which had fallen on the floor and continued from where she stopped.
”...I made a mistake which I know is impossible to correct. I know I failed your dad but like I said I don't regret having you.
As for your biological father, he died two years after you were born, that was why I hid it from your dad since he was already dead.
I thought he wouldn't find out but he did, and that was what led to the hell we are living in.
I didn't tell your biological father about you, and since you looked very much like me, it was well hidden, until that very day.
Liling, I'm sorry for not being a great mom, I'm sincerely sorry. If I could apologize to you everyday for the rest of my life, I will. I'm sorry Liling, please forgive your mom. I love you, please Liling forgive me.
I had not wanted to tell you but I realized that you deserve to know..
Liling, your biological father is your father's late brother.
I'll stop here but when you read this just know that your mom was truly sorry.
Mom
Liling stared at the letter which was already soaked with her tears.
She was utterly dumbfounded.
