Chapter 271 The truth is so
In the corridor outside the ward, Fu Sihan released Lu Zeli's arm. The two stood there, the atmosphere still tense. Lu Zeli straightened his wrinkled collar and glared at Fu Sihan: "Why did you pull me out? I still have something to say to you!"
Fu Sihan snorted coldly, "You're making a fuss in the ward. Do you want Nian Nian's condition to get worse? You are her brother, and I am her brother too. Why can you care about her but I can't? Besides, she is my wife's best friend. Can you compare with her?"
Lu Zeli snorted coldly and said, "I'm Mo Wanting's brother-in-law. How can you compare to her? She's not Mo Yurou's sister, so Nian Nian is my sister. Why didn't you call me to inform me? Are you still blaming Mom?"
Fu Sihan angrily scolded: "Don't mention that woman to me, she doesn't deserve it. If it weren't for her, would I become a person without parents? Would I?
After hearing this, Lu Zeli punched Fu Sihan and said, "Fu Sihan, listen to me. The reason why Mom left your dad is because he's a domestic abuser. Do you understand? Domestic violence, do you understand? If Mom hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have known that your dad was a domestic abuser.
The punch caught Fu Sihan off guard. He stumbled back a few steps, his body slamming against the corridor wall. His head buzzed, and he froze in a daze. He slowly raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, his fingertips stained with a hint of red. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his anger was instantly replaced by shock. "What did you say? What nonsense are you talking about? I don't believe a word you say. If your father hadn't seduced my mother, would she have left me to go with your father? It was your father who made me an orphan, did you know that? If it wasn't for the car chase, would my father have had a car accident?" Fu Sihan roared, pointing at Lu Zeli and punching him hard.
Lu Zeli was knocked sideways by the punch. He steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Fu Sihan, believe it or not, it's up to you. If your father hadn't stolen her, Mom would have lived happily with her first love. She was forced into a relationship. I stumbled across some old letters your mother had hidden away over the years and learned that she and Dad were truly in love, and it was my mother and your mother who jointly tore them apart."
At that time, my father was with your mother. It was your father who designed the situation to make my father and my biological mother together, and he took advantage of the opportunity to get your mother. Unfortunately, after getting her, your father did not know how to cherish her. He suspected that you were not his child, and he beat and scolded her every day.
Fu Sihan's thoughts drifted back to his childhood as Lu Zeli spoke. Back then, his mother would always gently stroke his head, whispering, "Baby, I just bumped into you accidentally. It doesn't hurt." Those gentle words tried to mask any pain, but now, thinking back, those bruises concealed unspeakable pain.
Fu Sihan's eyes began to waver, and his voice trembled unconsciously: "No, this is impossible..." But those vague fragments in his memory now came flooding in like a tide, gradually piecing together a truth that he had never thought of.
Seeing Fu Sihan's expression, Lu Zeli's heart softened and he continued, "I know this is hard to accept, but it's all true. I've read those letters, and every word tells of the helplessness and sadness they once felt."
Fu Sihan's legs softened, and he slowly sat down on a chair in the hallway, his head in his hands, lost in a painful struggle. He had always believed his family was complete, and even after his parents passed away, he had clung to those fond memories of home. But now, everything had been turned upside down.
At this time, the door of the ward opened again, and the nurse came out and said seriously: "What are you making noise here? The patient needs quiet. If you continue like this, it will affect her recovery!" After that, the nurse looked at them dissatisfied and turned away.
Fu Sihan and Lu Zeli then realized that their quarrel had seriously affected Nian Nian. They looked at each other and saw guilt in each other's eyes.
Mo Yurou also hurried out of the ward and came to their side, saying softly, "Sihan, Zeli, no matter what happens, we must calm down first. Nian Nian's current condition can't withstand any more tossing."
Fu Sihan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and nodded: "Yu Rou, I understand." Then he looked at Lu Zeli, "Zeli, let's find a place to have a good chat."
Lu Zeli nodded silently, and the two followed Mo Yurou to the hospital rooftop. A gentle breeze blew on the rooftop, but it couldn't blow away the gloom in their hearts.
Fu Sihan was the first to break the silence: "Ze Li, are those letters you mentioned still there? I want to see them."
Lu Zeli pulled his phone out of his pocket, flipped through the photos of the letters, and handed them to Fu Sihan. Fu Sihan took the phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he read the letters word by word. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hammering at his heart.
Fu Sihan's hands trembled slightly as he slowly unfolded the long-sealed letters. Each page shone with age. When his eyes fell upon the first line—"Sihan, by the time you receive this letter, I may have already left the Fu family"—his breath suddenly hitched, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
"Sihan, please forgive mom for leaving without saying goodbye. When I was with your father, there was not a single happy day. The reason I didn't leave was because of you. You are mom's weakness, but mom couldn't stand being beaten by your father. He suspected that I had an affair with someone else, but since mom has been with your father, she has never said that she has feelings for others. But I don't know since when, suspicion and doubt have become commonplace." Fu Sihan's eyes were fixed on the letter paper. Every word his mother said was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
"I remember one time, when mom went to a class reunion, your dad found out and took me to the Fu family. He humiliated me severely and locked me in a small dark room. He even installed a tracker on my phone so he could find me wherever I went. He's such a scary person to me." Reading this, Fu Sihan's eyes instantly became moist, and a blurry scene emerged in his mind involuntarily. The young self hid in the corner, watching his father's atrocities in horror, while his mother silently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with tears in her eyes.
"He always suspected me of being unfaithful to him and that you were not his biological child. No matter how much evidence I produced or how many times I explained, all I got in return was more violent beatings and scolding. Once, just because I ran into an old friend on the street and exchanged a few words with him, he flew into a rage when he got home. He locked me in the room and beat me all night long." Fu Sihan clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his body trembled slightly, a tremor mixed with anger and heartache.
"I have cried silently in the dark countless times, wondering why my life has become like this. For you, I gritted my teeth and persevered, hoping to give you a complete family. But every hope was shattered by your father's violence." Fu Sihan's tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the letter paper, creating a water stain and blurring the handwriting.
"I know that leaving might make you sad, but I don't see any hope if I stay in this house. I'm afraid that one day his violence will affect you. I don't want you to grow up in this environment. I wanted to take you away, but your father stopped me. If I didn't leave, I'm afraid your father would beat me to death. Please forgive your mother, okay?
"Sihan, Mom loves you, and this love will never change. No matter where I am, you will always be the deepest concern in my heart. I hope you can grow up healthy and happy and find your own happiness. Please forgive Mom for leaving without saying goodbye. This is the best choice I can think of for you."
After reading the last letter, Fu Sihan slowly collapsed to the ground, his mind racing through every detail of his past with his mother. Details he had overlooked became crystal clear. He finally understood that his mother hadn't left to cruelly abandon him, but to protect him, to give him a future free from the shadow of violence.
