Chapter 21: Brother begs You, Wake Up!
Xu Nan gritted his teeth, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
Was this irresponsible father also in pain? Are you even worried about me and my sister? A tear slid down from the corner of his eyes. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Xu Nan's vision became blurry.
Because he had been weak and sickly since he was young, Xu Yaozhong had scolded him for being a medicine jar.
He did not care about him and used to be busy with his family business all day.
After his wife passed away, Xu Yaozhong became a drunkard and a dreamer for a period of time.
He often did not go home.
The siblings lost their mother, but it was as if they did not have a father either.
Xu Nan hated him.
After a period of time, Xu Yaozhong returned with a woman and a boy as old as him.
They were Zhou Yuqiong and Zhou Jie.
Not half a year had passed since his mother's death, and his father was already remarrying, with a woman who had remarried with her son at that! Xu Nan hated him even more.
Zhou Jie often bullied Xu Bei.
After being beaten up by Xu Nan, he would always run to complain.
Xu Yaozhong would always punish him, making him kneel down and admit his mistakes.
If he didn't admit his mistakes, he wouldn't let him eat.
Xu Nan had never yielded, even if he knelt for an entire night, or if he was so hungry to the point of almost fainting.
Whenever this happened, it was his sister who would secretly bring food and water to him.
Xu Nan had never seen a trace of kindness in Xu Yaozhong's eyes.
He hated himself, why was born Xu Yaozhong's son! He wanted a loving father! Even if this father had not been the high and mighty head of the Xu family, but a worker, a farmer, or even a beggar.
As long as his father could remember his birthday, as long as his father could touch his head with a smile and say, "Son, daddy loves you very much!"
That would have been enough! But! Even when Xu Nan was framed and was regarded as a fugitive, he did not hear even a single word of comfort from Xu Yaozhong.
All he said was, "You little bastard! How dare you provoke the Qin Family! I would rather never have a son than to have a son like you!"
"Hahaha..."
Xu Nan suddenly laughed.
As he laughed, tears fell.
This father, how ridiculous! Taking a deep breath, Xu Nan pursed his lips and took out a silver needle.
He was a successor of the Ghost Doctor.
With a single glance, he could tell that Xu Yaozhong had been seriously injured.
It would take a long time for him to recover naturally.
Moreover, he would suffer constant pain.
He silently performed the acupuncture.
Soon, Xu Yaozhong's furrowed brows relaxed.
He did not feel any more pain.
His internal injuries had already been cured by Xu Nan, and the external injuries on his body would quickly recover under the effects of the medicine in the hospital.
"You are not a good father, but ultimately, you are my father..."
Xu Nan said silently and pulled up the curtain.
He returned to his sister's bed and sat down.
He held his sister's cold, bloody hand and shouted softly, "Little Bei, Little Bei, It's me, your brother...I'm back...You wouldn't know, but your brother has grown up.I spent six years in the Nanjiang and became the commander of the Nanjiang.I beat our enemy into surrender..."
"Little Bei, it's your brother's fault.I didn't protect you well, but don't worry.I killed all those who hurt you! No one will dare to bully my sister again."
"In the past, you always protected your brother.From now on, I will protect you.I will buy you a beautiful dress and your favorite durian cake, okay? I can take you to the White Mountain Lake you always wanted to go to and take the most beautiful photos of you..."
"Little Bei, wake up...I beg you...wake up...okay?"
Outside the ward, the stubborn Hong Zhuang and the others who had refused to leave burst into tears! The news of the Three Gates being destroyed spread throughout the city.
For many years, people who were related to Liu Sanchong bullied the populace everywhere.
Many people were forced into prostitution and their families were destroyed.
Now, someone finally enforced the justice of the heavens.
Xu Nan sat by the bed for the whole day, his heart clenched as he looked at his sister in front of him.
Even though Xu Nan was a medical sage, Xu Bei's consciousness was in a deep sleep.
This was a mental illness that no doctor could cure.
News of the Three Gates being destroyed had already spread throughout the city.
Cheers resounded everywhere.
Some people even cried and rejoiced.
Some lit firecrackers, as if it was the new year.
All of the depression and sadness would disappear along with the Three Gates.
Xu Nan could hear people talking excitedly in the hospital.
The Heavenly Dao was a good reincarnation.
People who had done all kinds of evil would eventually reap what they sowed.
Xu Bei's injuries were getting better day by day, but she still had no reaction as if she was a dead person.
Her self-consciousness was sleeping and she was unwilling to wake up.
This was a heart disease that no doctor could cure.
The only thing Xu Nan could do was to stay by his sister's side and constantly talk to her, hoping that one day he could wake her up.
Xu Yaozhong woke up.
When he woke up, he saw Xu Nan sitting by the bed and talking to Xu Bei about his childhood.
He closed his eyes and listened quietly.
The more he listened, the more his heart ached.
It turned out that he had always misunderstood his son.
His heart ached so much that he wanted to kill himself.
He had lived in vain for dozens of years.He had eyes but didn't see Mt.Tai.He had led a wolf into the house.He had let down his son and daughter.
But he did not want to die.
At least, he could not die before Zhou Yuqiong was punished.
This was a blood feud.It was irreconcilable.
He reminisced about when a woman with a gentle smile appeared in front of him.
This woman was good at managing the family and gave birth to a pair of children for him.
She was extremely tolerant of him...
Tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.Xu Yaozhong was so remorseful that his heart broke.
