Chapter 109 - 110: Mom, You Think I’m A Monster?
Her voice quaked with fear."I dreamed that I committed suicide and left you alone at our apartment. I dreamed of seeing you starve to death."
Cail held his breath. Fuck, that sounds familiar. He hasn’t even investigated it yet, but now the clues are starting to toss themselves at him. I guess lady luck is finally smiling at his unfortunate fate.
"I’m alive. Dreams are not real," Cail said casually. He doesn’t believe it, but it doesn’t matter. Comforting her is enough."You’re in your 40s, Miss Xeren. Why are you still that stupid?"
"But it keeps bugging me for many years. You can’t just disregard it like that." His mother sounded wronged.
So let’s pretend that he was comforting that crazy Zishi."Okay, let’s say that it was really relevant. But what does me dying have to do with wanting to be together with that man? I think you are just making excuses."That was something Cail couldn’t understand.
"That’s what you don’t understand!" his mother screamed."You are always like that! You are always calm! The moment you got healed from the hospital, you got back to ’normal’ as if nothing happened. You live your life without emotional fluctuation—like a monster!"
This time, Cail looked at her. It wasn’t the look that he usually had. Because when looking at his mother, his gaze usually held tolerance and respect. But this time, he was looking at her as if she were just any other person he met on the road.
"Then what do you want?" He stood up from the couch."Because you think I’m a monster, you don’t consider me as your family? So you just want your husband? You know what? Why am I even here?"If that’s really the case, then he should just leave.
When Cail was about to walk away, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him back."Don’t you dare walk away!"
