Chapter 142 How Naive Was She?

expression remained impassive.She has never said she wanted this 1 million dollars, because her coming back has nothing to do with him.On that day, the mother and son spent their first peaceful night...[ ]

"Dad, I was wrong!"

Wen Xuxu made a soft thud with her knees and directly knelt before the elderly man.

The old man stopped abruptly, panting and staring at her with his hazy eyes. A redness flooded his cloudy gaze immediately.

"You... you scumbag! You're actually still alive You... why... why didn't you tell me Do you know how I've been these past few years Huh"

He trembled with excitement, a man in his seventies. At this moment, in front of everyone, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.

Wen Xuxu's fingers, which were tightly clenched, paled even further.

Worried about him, she hadn't paid attention to what he said. Her eyes were also red as she looked up at him: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault, Dad. Please don't be angry. You can hit or scold me, but please don't get angry and hurt your body."

Then she really obediently knelt before him, extending her own hands.

The old man: "..."

In just that one moment, he stared at her, his throat felt like it was stuck, and he couldn't utter a single word.

This was how she would apologize when she made a mistake while he was around. She'd kneel before him and take her punishment obediently.

But, he used to be able to do it.

Can he still do it now

The old man looked at the young girl standing before him, alive and well once again. For a moment, his heart was filled with both pain and anger. Tears streamed down his face, and he couldn't utter a word.

A few minutes later, the people behind him couldn't stand it anymore and helped him to a room in the sanatorium.

Wen Xixixi saw this and also lowered her head obediently to follow.

Before meeting this old man, Wen Xuxu had thought many times about what to say and how to say it so that he wouldn't get angry.

But at that time, she and her son were at odds. All she could think about was making amends, saying nice things and apologizing.

Until now...

Perhaps, she could also raise both children.

Wen Xuxu was thinking.

Anyway, she's also going to tell her son that he has a sister.

"Well, when are you coming back And for that matter, where have you been all these years What have you been up to"

The old man took a sip of tea, warmed his body, and finally, he opened his mouth to speak.

Wen Xuxu was taken aback and immediately raised her head, "I... I came back a long time ago, didn't you already know Besides, I was there, didn't you know"

"How would I know I only know you're alive because I see you now. Where would I go to know you came back What are you even saying"

The old man stared with a pair of eyes, inexplicably asking back.

Wen Xuxu fell silent.

He didn't even know she had come back

How is this possible Didn't Huo Sijue bring her back to see him Why doesn't he know she's still alive

Wen Xuxu finally realized something was amiss.

especially when she saw this old man, completely unaware of what she had done, her head suddenly buzzed.

Yes, when that old man saw her just now, he didn't look like he knew she was still alive at all, did he

He also said at the time, she was actually still alive

She is still alive...

So, all along, she was alive, she was brought back. He never told the old man about it, did he

Why

Why would he do that

Her heart sank lower and lower, especially when this problem popped into her mind. She could feel herself growing colder by the inch.

"Xuxu, what's wrong You don't have to say anything if you don't want to."

The old man saw that her face suddenly turned very pale, and she seemed to have lost her energy all of a sudden. He thought she didn't want to answer his questions, so he waved his hand and let her off the hook.

But this girl suddenly looked straight at him again.

"Dad, I'm the one Si Jue brought back."

"What Si Jue"

"Yes, he found me in Clear. And then he said he wanted to bring me back to see you, to tell you that I'm still alive, Dad. Didn't he tell you any of this"

Finally, that girl's almost ethereal words sounded like a ghost.

The old man was taken aback!

He really didn't know, but this little girl seemed to be off, like something had happened.

The old man was also a smart one, so he quickly changed his tune: "He did tell me, but I thought he was joking. I..."

"Dad, you never lie. When you do, your eyes subconsciously look to the left, and your fingers clench involuntarily. Dad, why doesn't he tell you"

“......”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The old man finally fell silent.

If that were really the case, then he would certainly know.

Because, a father knows his son best. His son did this only to get her death registered before his old man found out.

"Hush, you don't have to worry so much. No matter what he does, Dad is here for you."

"Pfft—"

Nobody expected it, this little girl suddenly smiled again.survivedHuo Sijue raised an eyebrow and didn't walk towards the villa, but came to the garden instead.A few minutes later, Wen Xuxu, who was watching the children playing happily, suddenly felt the ch...
