บท 596: Every revelation (16)

*Present*

"You broke the promise just like I had expected you to," Jinhai balled his fingers into his palm. 

His eyelashes trembled, thinking back to the time when Jun had come to visit him to tell him the truth about his rebirth.

"But I showed mercy to that unborn child. I broke my own underworld law and let a family go, trusting Zhan Kai-Ming's promise and giving her a chance to live her life anew. But what you did only reinforced my beliefs. Thank you for proving to me that I should have killed you and Zhan Kai-Ming back then. My mercy…only brought ruin to my son's life."

"Dad, it's not your fault!" Jun hurriedly bent on his knees and held his trembling palm in his. Tears brimmed in her eyes, feeling the shiver in his voice. "What the hell, Dad? You are crazy! Are you seriously blaming yourself?"

It was harder to speak for Jinhai as an overwhelming feeling of guilt erupted like a dormant volcano in his heart.
