The sound of the clock was loud amidst the silent room.
Lu Jin glanced at the clock and saw the ti. His eyes flashed.
The ti has co.
He knelt down on the mat and prayed.
Since Lu Jin was still under trial and under witness protection, the authorities gave him a private cell that was better than others. He had all he needs here in this small room. The basic furniture such as bed, table, chair, sink, and a toilet room was placed inside.
Although the room was smaller than his bathroom, it was neat and comfortable for a sinner like him.
Lu Jin knew that it was all thanks to his brother and Linfeng's hard work. If he doesn't have connections, perhaps he would be sent to the worst penitentiary and worst cell.
Lu Jin clasped his hand.
He had forgotten when was the last ti he prayed. Perhaps the last ti he prayed was when his mother was sick and stayed bedridden in the hospital. It was so long ago that Lu Jin forgot how to pray.
He also doesn't know whose god to call. Living under the shadow of Ming Zhi Yi, Lu Jin had no ti to know god, or even believe in them. But at this mont, he sincerely hope there was god. He hoped that this little prayer could reach heaven or even hell. As long as soone could hear him.
He sincerely opened his heart and silently send off his father in spirit through this prayer.
'Please guide my father for atonent. In the afterlife, he would be alone and lost. No matter what punishnt or how many long years of retribution, may that poor soul get his redemption.'
Lu Jin clumsily prayed and kneeled there for a very long ti.
A guard suddenly ca to his cell door and interrupted his prayer, "Inmate 988, a visitor is requesting for you."
Lu Jin opened his eyes and glanced at the clock. It had been an hour and a half since the execution started.
Lu Jin's heart thumped. They ca here too fast.
Did Ming Zhi Yi already....?
Lu Jin took a deep breath and was ready to receive the news. He was led to another private room, the room where he t Linfeng and Prosecutor Huo frequently.
When he saw the person who ca, he was stunned.
"Yin Ze?"
Lu Yin Ze had red-rimd eyes. "Brother..."
Lu Yin Ze hugged Lu Jin tightly. As if he found a pillar of support.
Lu Jin could feel his brother's body trembling.
Is his brother having another attack?
"Brother...I...I can't watch." Lu Yin Ze said in a trembling voice.
Lu Jin suddenly understand what was happening. He patted his brother's back while his heart turned heavy.
"Why did you choose to watch? You are a soft-hearted kid..."
"I hate him so much, brother. He killed grandpa, he killed mother and he tortured you! I hate him so much that I want to see him suffer. But...but when I saw him-" Lu Yin Z halted. He changed his words. "I can't take it."
Lu Jin closed his eyes. He could imagine what Lu Yin Ze saw. "It's okay. No matter how much we hate him, he was still our father. It's normal that we can't bear to see him like that."
"But he hard us so much....I should hate him to the bone! I should be satisfied with him suffering and dying-! But I.... when I saw him like that I was reminded of the past."
Lu Yin Ze's voice was small as he vent his anger and anguish.
Lu Jin patted his back while he asked him with a gentle and soothing voice. "What did you see? What past did you rember?"
Lu Yin Ze closed his eyes as tears fell down.
"...I saw the ti when mother was alive and healthy. The four of us ate at one table. That man.... would pick up my favorite dishes. When I was sick and injured from playing, he would comfort like a loving father would. And there were tis...when he and mother would tuck us to our bed and tell us bedti stories.
Those mories were his sches and were all pretend...But I! But I thought of it and like a fool wanted to stop it for a mont!"
Lu Yin Ze smacked his own chest hard. "This stupid still believed in that lie! I am ungrateful and a wasted grandson. Instead of hating the man who inflict with trauma and pain, I..like a foolish person wanted to believe in him. I am so...helpless brother."
Lu Jin's shoulder was wet with Lu Yin Ze's tears.
Lu Jin's eyes were heated. He definitely understands his brother's heart.
They were the sa. Although Lu Yin Ze's hate was so strong that he could not see his longing for their father, they both wanted to live in the shadow of the past. But that past was a lie.
Truly, they were both helpless.
Lu Jin wiped away his tears that fall lightly. He patted his little brother, "It's okay, brother. You are not alone. It's okay to hate him and love him at the sa ti."
