Stealing Your Heart

“I’m already old, this day would come sooner or later. I didn’t say anything because I don’t want you to be sad.” Zong Qifeng was very calm as if he had already thought through the matters of life and death. He had no regrets, since he had the best family life with his children and grandchildren around him.

“What did the doctor say?” That wasn’t what Zong Jinghao wanted to know.

He was concerned about his condition.

“You’re not behaving like yourself.” Zong Qifeng poured himself another cup of tea. “I’ve always been proud of you. You are my son, but I never need to worry about you, be it in terms of your family or career. You’ve handled everything so well that there’s nothing I could teach you. In fact, I am not as mature as you are, and I have never expressed my feelings to your mother even in her last moment of life. That has been my lifelong regret.”

“Have a drink with me.” The father picked up his cup and looked at his son. Zong Jinghao’s eyes were dark as he said in a low voice, “I once blamed you for hiding the secret from me.”

How could he have no regrets?

This was a corner of his heart that could never be touched.

“If there is another chance, nobody can stop me from allowing you to acknowledge each other and to live together…” Zong Qifeng’s eyes grew misty. Indeed, he was not mature enough back then.

What was the point of that persistence? At least Cheng Yuxiu would not have that much regret in her life. She had been regarded as a mistress her whole life. Even with her son standing before her, she could not harbor the hope for him to call her mother.

For a mother who had risked her life through pregnancy and childbirth, there just ain’t any word to describe the pain in her heart.

Zong Jinghao picked up his tea and clinked cups with Zong Qifeng. He downed his tea at one gulp and put down his cup before saying, “Let’s go to the hospital together. I’ll get you the best doctor.”
