Chapter 887: Chapter 887: The Punishment Given by Heaven

There’s no way she could do anything about the discomfort in her heart; she couldn’t possibly start a big fight with him.

Getting jealous just because of a photo was not her style.

Besides, she wasn’t his wife anymore, what right did she have to interfere with his private life.

Lin Xinlan could only swallow the bitterness in her heart and let the matter pass quietly.

For days, Xiaocong ignored Rong Shaoze with indifference.

As a son, how could he show such an attitude toward his father?

Rong Shaoze saw him walking past silently again, and he called out to him.

"Xiaocong, come here, I have something to tell you."

Xiaocong stopped in his tracks, bit his lip, and walked over to him.

No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn’t defy his father’s wishes, and being a filial child, he wouldn’t go against his father.

"Dad, what do you want to say?" Xiaocong asked him.

Rong Shaoze looked at him and said, "I know you’re ignoring me lately because of your mom. Xiaocong, I hope you understand that matters between adults have nothing to do with kids. I’ve forgotten the past, so I can’t be the perfect father you hope for, but you are my son, and that’s something I won’t forget. I’ll try my best to be a good father. As for your mom, I won’t abandon her; I will take care of her for the rest of my life."

The responsibilities he should bear, he wouldn’t shirk.

Now, he only knew that his responsibilities were Xiaocong and Xiaotian, as well as Shengjue and Yanhuang.

These were all his responsibilities, and he would work hard to do what he should do.

But Lin Xinlan had divorced him; she was no longer his responsibility.

Hence, his concern for her would lessen.

However, he had made her so many promises in the past; he couldn’t just abandon her.

He would take care of her for the rest of his life.

Yet, the love she wanted from him, he was afraid he couldn’t give for now...

Although Xiaocong was only a few years old, he had experienced a lot and understood much.

He roughly understood what his dad meant, and after hearing it, he felt a bit aggrieved.

"Does Dad take care of us just because he thinks he should? Doesn’t Dad love Mom even a little? You used to love Mom so much. You were so good to each one of us. To me, you were the greatest Dad. Dad, please try to remember soon, I want you to return to how you were before."

Rong Shaoze’s eyes flickered, his lips pressed together in silence.

He also wanted to regain his memory, to make this family happy again.

But despite his best efforts, he couldn’t remember anything, he felt nothing.

He truly wondered if all his love and memories died with his heart.

Lin Xinlan stood upstairs, hearing their conversation.

She leaned against the wall, her heart tearing in pain.

Could it be that the retribution for bringing him back to life was making him forget his love for her?

If this was heaven’s punishment, then it was too heavy a burden...

Rong Shaoze talked to Xiaocong for a while and then let him go play on his own.

Ascending the stairs, he unexpectedly saw Lin Xinlan standing there.

She must have heard what he said to Xiaocong just now.

Lin Xinlan faced him, her eyes shimmering with tears. She slowly walked up to him, lifting her fair and pure face to meet his gaze with sorrow.

Rong Shaoze’s throat tightened, his gaze growing deeper.

Now, his feelings towards Lin Xinlan were not of growing love, but of increasing guilt.
