“Chenhuan, does your leg hurt?”

Huo Chenhuan was stunned. His eyes turned red, as if he was a child who had finally found a safe haven. He showed all his vulnerability and sadness to the people closest to him.

“It hurts. It hurts.”

“Daddy also is in pain. My hands hurt, my feet hurt, my whole body hurts, but what hurts the most is my heart. You are the child that Mommy and Daddy love the most. You can’t bear to see Daddy suffer forever, can you?”

Young Huo Chenhuan’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his tears flowed uncontrollably.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, to escape from this room, to escape from this strange man on the hospital bed.

However, his hands were out of control. As if he was bewitched, his trembling hands touched the transparent oxygen mask bit by bit. Under his father’s encouraging gaze, he moved the life-saving device away from his face.

Mr. Huo, whose internal organs were still bleeding, suddenly lost the oxygen mask that helped him breathe. His breathing became faster and weaker.

In less than a minute, Huo Chenhuan felt as if he had lived his entire life.

“Clang…” A loud sound was heard. Huo Qihan and his wife, who came to visit him with a bunch of things outside the ward, stared at him with wide eyes and fear.

Huo Chenhuan turned his head and saw the shocked and terrified eyes of the two people, as if they had seen a terrifying monster.

With the loud sound of things landing on the ground, everything seemed to be pulled down, and boundless darkness instantly enveloped Huo Chenhuan’s vision.

Huo Chenhuan, who had regained some consciousness and knew that he was probably dreaming, looked at the familiar darkness and unconsciously clenched his hands.

He knew very well what would happen after that. That was an existence that even psychologists did not know about.

Everything would come to an abrupt end soon, because the end of the nightmare that had repeated countless times was his father’s pale face after he pulled out the oxygen tank and his mother’s bloody state after the car accident.

What was even scarier was that when his mother, who he once loved the most, discovered his existence, she would turn her head around and ask him with a ferocious expression, why did he kill her father with his own hands?

As the culprit, his father, who had compelled him to do it, just stood silently behind his mother and gave him a twisted smile.

Every time that happened, Huo Chenhuan would wake up from his sleep and sit there for the whole night with his eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep again.

This time, he learned his lesson and closed his eyes before the two of them appeared.

However, the expected questions and curses did not appear. Instead, they were replaced by a hand, a warm hand that Huo Chenhuan was very familiar with.

The hand landed on his head and gently stroked his hair. In an instant, Huo Chenhuan was pulled back to his childhood. The three of them went to the mountain villa for a vacation.

In the garden that his father had carefully built, his mother would always let him lie down and rest his head on her lap. She would stroke his head intermittently and sing a melodious lullaby.

“Mom…” In the end, Huo Chenhuan could not resist the temptation and opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the woman’s familiar gentle smile. “My child, thank you for your hard work.”

Behind the woman was the bright and dazzling sunlight that shone on her body. It was as if it had coated her with a layer of soft and beautiful halo. It was beautiful and elegant, making people intoxicated.

“Don’t blame your father, Mom has already taught him a lesson for you.”

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and looked behind her.

Huo Chenhuan followed her gaze and saw their father quietly watching them from not far away.
