Chapitre 765: Criticism
Windy's father's wife soon sensed something amiss in her husband's unusual behavior towards her and became aware of the existence of Windy's mother and the newborn Windy.
She secretly visited Hoenn and met Windy's mother once. It was during that encounter that Windy's mother found out she had become the third party in their love triangle, deceived by her lover.
Although Windy's mother didn't come from a high social background, she had her pride, so she cut off all contact with Windy's father directly.
Windy's father's wife was understanding and knew that Windy's mother hadn't intentionally wrecked their family. She not only didn't blame Windy's mother but also sympathized with them, mother and son alike.
Before leaving, Windy's father's wife wanted to leave some money for Windy's mother to ensure she could raise Windy in peace. However, Windy's mother declined.
Faced with this woman before her, she was already in an embarassed situation. How could she accept her money?
Windy's mother's request for a breakup faced strong opposition from Windy's father, but he was far away in Kanto and couldn't stay in Hoenn indefinitely. As long as Windy's mother avoided him, he was powerless.
However, it didn't take long for Windy's mother to receive shocking news: Windy's father had passed away in an accident.
Later, his wife visited Windy's mother again, wanting to provide her with money, but Windy's mother still refused.
And so, Windy and his mother lived happily in Hoenn until he turned four.
The first time Windy saw that elegantly dressed woman, she took him back to the Sasaki family.
As it turned out, Windy's father and his wife had been married for several years but hadn't been able to have children.
After Windy's father's death, and upon learning that there was a grandson living outside, Windy's grandfather decided to have his eldest daughter-in-law bring the child back.
Windy's father's wife didn't object to her father-in-law's request. Her husband was already deceased, and the child was blameless. Since he carried the Sasaki family's bloodline, there was nothing wrong with raising him in the Sasaki household.
And so, Windy had his first meeting with his father's wife.
He didn't know what the Sasaki family had told his mother, but all he knew was that his mother had eventually agreed to let the Sasaki family take him away.
By then, the heir of the Sasaki family had shifted from Windy's deceased father to his younger brother, who was also James's father.
After arriving at the Sasaki family, Windy was entrusted to his father's wife for care.
She was genuinely kind to Windy, treating him as if he were her own son. In Windy's memory, she was an extremely gentle woman, the kindest person to him besides his mother.
Thanks to her protection, Windy had a good life in the Sasaki family.
However, one day, this woman was taken away by Windy's grandfather and his people. The reason was that Windy's father's death was not an accident; it was premeditated murder, and the murderer was this seemingly gentle woman.
It turned out that beneath her gentle facade, she was an extremely tough woman.
After her husband's affair, she didn't harbor any resentment towards the unfortunate woman who had been deceived by her husband or the innocent child. She solely harbored a deep hatred for her husband, who had hypocritically preached about "true love."
She couldn't tolerate her husband's betrayal.
So, she wanted her husband dead.
Using the family's influence, she orchestrated the accident that led to her husband's death. She just hadn't expected that years later, her father-in-law would uncover the truth.
Since then, Windy never saw that woman again. Sometimes, he wondered where she had gone, but his search yielded no results.
Having lived with that gentle woman for three years, Windy grew fond of her, as she had taken meticulous care of him.
After she was gone, Windy's life in the Sasaki family underwent a dramatic change. It was as if the protective walls around him had suddenly collapsed.
Everyone knew he was a illegitimate child.
Without that woman's protection, people secretly ridiculed and bullied Windy.
Within the family, be it the servants or distant relatives, none of them regarded Windy as the true heir of the Sasaki family. In their eyes, Windy was nothing more than a hidden illegitimate child.
It was during this time that Windy realized the significance of that woman's disappearance and what his identity as an illegitimate child meant.
Later, Windy's grandfather passed away, and Windy's situation within the Sasaki family became increasingly difficult.
After the disappearance of that woman, Windy was taken in by his uncle and aunt, who were James's parents.
It was during this time that Windy first met his cousin, James.
Windy's uncle and aunt were relatively kind to him and didn't look down on him just because he was his brother's illegitimate child.
However, after Windy's father and grandfather passed away, the entire burden of the Sasaki family fell on the shoulders of his uncle and aunt. They were busy day and night, so their care for Windy naturally became neglectful.
The criticism and disapproval Windy faced didn't decrease just because he lived with his uncle. The only one in the Sasaki family who looked at him with normal eyes was his younger cousin, James, who was several years his junior and didn't understand much.
In such an environment, Windy's personality became increasingly introverted. He didn't want to go out, nor did he want to interact with others. He felt extremely self-conscious, believing that everyone looked down on him because of his status as an illegitimate child.
The reason Windy became skilled in the online world was that he spent his days indoors, immersed in the online realm.
Windy had always thought that he would spend his entire life in the Sasaki family, hiding and shrinking away. This continued until he turned nineteen, and his uncle told him that his biological mother had passed away.
As it turned out, not long after Windy was taken in by the Sasaki family, news of him being an illegitimate child born from an affair had somehow leaked out.
While society had no issue with single mothers, there was strong disapproval for home-wrecking third parties.
As a result, Windy's mother endured over a decade of criticism in her hometown.
During these more than ten years, Windy could only communicate with his mother through video calls and phone conversations. He knew nothing about his mother's real situation, and she did her best to keep it from him.
In this environment of constant criticism, Windy's mother's health deteriorated, and she eventually couldn't hold on, passing away when Windy was nineteen.
After his mother's death, Windy realized that he couldn't continue living in the oppressive atmosphere of the Sasaki family. He wanted to leave this place that weighed heavily on him.
So, he secretly left the Sasaki family and returned to his place of birth—Hoenn.
The Sasaki family's main stronghold was in Kanto, and they didn't have much influence in Hoenn, making it difficult for them to find Windy in Hoenn.
And thus, Windy began his life in Hoenn, moving from one city to another.
However, Windy didn't possess exceptional survival skills, and his introverted nature made it challenging for him to adapt to life in Hoenn. He lived a mediocre life for several years, until Yuga found him.
His life at the YoYo Day Care marked the beginning of his new life.
