At that moment, Kairi was the only one who could truly understand her father’s heartache.

She knew that he was grieving over her mother’s inability to witness the scene before them with her own eyes.

Sometimes, the living found comfort in believing that their deceased loved ones could appreciate the fruits of their patience from the afterlife.

This perspective could bring peace of mind.

However, not everyone could adopt such an open-minded outlook.

Some people might regret that their loved ones couldn’t live long enough to witness the outcomes they had hoped for, and they became consumed by this sorrow, unable to break free from its grip.

Mr. Elms, along with Kairi, belonged to the latter group.

Martial artists placed a high value on strength and strive to overcome their destinies.

They believed that the key to changing one’s fate lied in living life to the fullest.

Therefore, they didn’t believe in an afterlife, knowing that death was final, like a candle that had been snuffed out.

To the living, the greatest source of regret was when a loved one died with unfulfilled desires.

Given this, Kairi chose not to comfort her father.

She understood that he needed to shed tears to find relief from his pain.

Fortunately, Mr. Elms was not a fragile man.

After shedding tears, he allowed his grief to flow out and felt somewhat better.

Realizing that this was meant to be a joyful day, he quickly wiped away his tears and, with a smile, said, “I’m sorry, I made a fool of myself.

Isn’t it time for me to be served some tea?”

With Mr. Elms’ recovery, the Elms family breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Wanting to help the old man move forward, Zayne eagerly asked those around him, “Where’s the tea? Why hasn’t it been served yet? I want to offer tea to my father-in-law!”
