Avril had changed his decadent state, pulled back a rebellious and lawless young man, and made him turn over a new leaf. He started a new life, and even worked hard. Later, he became the Colin made everyone envious and amazed. Now there were many label on him: young and promising, handsome and rich, excellent potential and so on. But who could have thought that he was such a young man before?
However, even such a woman couldn't be tolerated by Ling family, and their love couldn't be recognized. Gilbert was furious, and Fannie also gave vent to her anger. At last, Avril was forced to die. Colin was heartbroken. He couldn't understand why Fannie and Gilbert insisted on forcing Avril to die and separating him and Avril. Colin loved Avril more than Caleb did. Avril had changed Colin so much. He wanted to get a person so much that he even begged them in a humble way for the first time, but Gilbert and Fannie still couldn't tolerate it. They couldn't let it go. In the end, they forced Avril to death and they cut off his feelings and torn him apart.
Therefore, after Avril's death, he hated those two people even more. He felt that they were very cruel and inhuman, and they didn't deserve to be his parents at all. Since then, Colin had broken up with Fannie and disdained to see Gilbert. He moved out of Ling family and lived alone outside, managing his own small company and working hard. He didn't want to have anything to do with Ling family at all.
More than half of the past had passed. Now, eight or nine years had passed. Facing Gilbert again, Gilbert was no longer angry and domineering as he used to be. His body was not as strong as before, and he could only rely on the medical equipment in the hospital to make a living. The pain in Colin's heart was not so deep, and he didn't have such a attachment to Avril. He had already given up, and
had a more beloved and more precious woman. His hatred for Gilbert and Fannie was not as deep as before, but he still hated and rejected them. In the end, there was only indifference left in his heart.
Colin asked, "What do you mean?"
The father and son had been hating each other for many years. Would Gilbert say something good before he died? Colin couldn't understand. After all, he didn't have much expectation for the relationship between the father and son, and Gilbert hated him to the end, so Gilbert wouldn't have any expectation. Therefore, what Gilbert said suddenly seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, which aroused Colin's doubts.
Through Gilbert's broken body, Gilbert said slowly, "Colin... Why do you hate me so much? You have hated me since childhood. What on earth did I do to make you so unhappy and make you hate your father so much? "
Hearing this, Colin smiled, shook his head, raised his eyebrows and asked sarcastically, "Did you ask me to come back just to ask this question? This is what you are most troubled about before you die? "
Looking at the ceiling, Gilbert thought for a while. Suddenly, he patted the bed weakly and said bitterly, "Why do you look like me so much? Even your temper is so annoying! When I was young, I had done a lot of wrong things. I didn't understand until I was old... Don't wait for your old age like me. It's almost time to enter the coffin that I realize a lot of things. I regret a lot of things! "
"What do you think I will regret? Do I regret that I didn't hide a dagger behind a smile like other children outside, fight openly and secretly, but fawn on you in front of you and display the so-called filial piety in front of you? Do you think those people are sincere? Gilbert, you are so pitiful, but I want to tell you with infinite sympathy that every child you raise up will not be sincere to you, because you only use money to feed them. Do you think that children who grow up with money will still have such a thing as
kindness and filial piety? They only see money and power. This is the evils you bring on yourself are the hardest to bear."
"Ha ha..." All of a sudden, Gilbert laughed slowly and wrinkled. He muttered, "Is this the evils I bring on myself are the hardest to bear?" But, Colin, you are me, another young and arrogant me. One day, you will follow the same path as me. There is no family affection in your eyes, and you will never experience it in your whole life... But no matter how much I hate you, I don't want you to be the second one! "
"TSK, TSK, are you starting to pretend to love me? Old fox, how could you be so merciful? Tell me why you brought me back. You are not fit to be so kind, and it is so disgusting. I don't need to worry about my future. In a word, I won't learn from you to be a playboy. I won't marry a lot of women and have a lot of children, but in the end, no one is willing to pay your last respects. They just want to steal your money! I won't be as pathetic as you, because I don't want to copy the second you at all! "
"Colin Ling... You don't understand... You don't understand... Do you think all the men in Ling family are fickle? Do you think your infatuation is just an exception? Why do you think I married women one after another, and these women are so similar, especially your mother... When I was young, I made a mistake that I regretted so much, so I opposed you to be with Avril. But in the end, you made a big mistake. Now that I see you change and see you get rid of the shadow, I won't say anything more. So I won't object you to be with Miss Melissa. "
