Rebirth: Her Sorrow - Chapter 26
After Wu Zheng left. He heard that Wu JunJing locked himself for weeks and was found dead in his room. He was murdered brutally, his face was scarred and he looks like he didn’t even fought with the murderer, he could have but he didn’t. JunJing was too guilty and he couldn’t sleep knowing that he killed his family.
He even left a letter. A lots of letter saying, how he regret all of the things he did. How miserable he felt. How he wanted to kill himself but couldn’t. He even wrote his mother’s words that taught him what is love. He wrote his past with his wife and how he killed her. He was depressed and he felt the need to die.
Wu Zheng stared at the sky and whispered, “You are all free”
Wu Zheng wanted to forget his past so he made another name and made himself a doctor. Though his title wasn’t forgotten as his second brother reigned the Wu Kingdom.
His second brother didn’t want to be emperor and even tried to pass the throne to him but he immediately fled away when he heard that. Both of them was uninterested on being the emperor and only their first brother wanted the throne.
“THIRD BROTHER I AM BEGGING YOU! I DON’T WANT TO BE THE EMPEROR!”
Wu Zheng laughed at the thought. Everyone in the kingdom knew that his second brother just want to sleep and be lazy all day long. Wu Lanren [1] was the definition of his own name. The only Wu Zheng wants to do now was to move on. But how would he move on when his every move reminds him of them.
Reminds him of her.
His only Love.
He may look like he had already copped up but in reality he was not. She taught him how to love in this harsh world. He may be alone physically in this world but in his heart she was still alive. He may not be able to hold her hand anymore, He may not be see her smile anymore, He may not be able to hug her anymore. His whole world may stopped when she was gone.
But he will continue to live and see how her son grow up. He will grant her wish to see her son grow up by using his eyes. It may sound ridiculous.
He may not be able to see love again but her love and memories will always stay in his heart.
Wu Zheng stared at the busy road, he remembered their memories. Meilin was happily running while holding his hands, saying some stories that she heard to the maids in the palace.
‘I will miss you, My love’
Wu Zheng glanced at the kingdom for the last time before turning around, but as he turned. He froze. He saw a maid staring at him, tears falling in her eyes. So much despair was in her eyes. She was extremely familiar.
“Master, Please!!”
He heard her whisper. She was begging him not to leave. He knew her, She was the personal maid of Meilin. The one who helped her give birth to her son. She was carrying a baby as she mouthed words to him. She was telling him to follow her as there are too many people outside.
He quickly followed her, his entire heart stopped. It was going out of control, beating too fast and becoming nervous was unfamiliar to him. He did not feel this emotions in the past few years and that was the reason, it was unfamiliar.
They walked side by side when they reached an alley.
“Master, I am sincerely sorry. I did not manage to save Miss.” Wu Zheng could hear her sobs. She was hugging the infant on her arms. She was afraid, too afraid that it may fall.
“Shh, It was her own decision to kill herself. It was not your fault but mine, I did not protect her. I was too young and arrogant. Don’t blame yourself because it was all my fault”
It wasn’t even an excuse to make himself feel better. He was mad at himself, It was all his fault and no one can make him feel not guilty.
“Master, This is Young Master Wu Chang. My miss son”
She was smiling, but her eyes was not. She looks so sad and miserable. Grieving over Meilin.
“She named him Wu because of you.” She wants to add that her miss really loves him but stopped herself. She knew better than herself that he was still in shock and was feeling the grief that she was also feeling right now. And she also knew that his grief was much more stronger than her.
He didn’t knew what she was feeling now. “She thought that he could fill your heart with love”
He wished he could hug her for the last time.
“Master, please” He knew she was begging him to take care of Wu Chang.
“Yes, I know. But I also need you to take care of him, I can’t manage him alone. I don’t know how to take care of a child, Hua”
Hua nodded, she knew that a man like Wu Chang was also busy for his own things.
“Then let’s go back to the palace. I need to put his name at the stone”
