344 Samsara
“You did this?” He Xun’s tone was already filled with uncontrollable killing intent.
As it turned out, the ending of Chen Wei’er in the dream was actually caused by this child!
The little boy sobbed. “My mother is gravely miserable. She lives so bitterly. She is in so much pain…”
In fact, even if he had survived, that heavy kick would have affected his development, and his body would have been severely injured.
If he chose to live, he would be a weak and sickly child for the rest of his life. He would never be able to grow up healthy.
He was already a burden to his mother. How could he continue to be a burden to her for the rest of her life?
“What do you want to say to me?” He Xun clenched his fists. He didn’t know how hard it was for Chen Wei’er in that dream.
But upon recalling it, He Xun could feel something…
Chen Wei’er was covered in blood as she collapsed on the side of the road. Her family wasn’t around. There wasn’t anyone who could save her.
When He Xun carried her body, he became well aware of her protruding bones and her featherlight figure. Her body was akin to a piece of paper despite being pregnant!
The little boy was still crying. He couldn’t control his sniffling voice.
“I hope you can take good care of my mother.”
“I know. Of course, I’ll take good care of her.” Even without this child’s instructions, He Xun would have taken good care of Chen Wei’er. This was his responsibility and what he had always been doing.
How could He Xun not take good care of his wife?
The little boy’s voice was muffled.
“I know. You have been taking good care of her. You have taken good care of her…”
In fact, the child was just a bit unwilling. After all, this would be the last day he would be conscious to remember.
With a low voice, the child explained, “I offered my reincarnation chance so that my mother could start over. Now that I see that she’s doing well, I’m deeply satisfied. I know you’ve always treated my mother well. I won’t have any worries if I leave her in your care.”
The little boy started weeping again. He just wasn’t willing to disappear like this and lose the opportunity to see Chen Wei’er from afar.
However, the boy also knew where Chen Wei’er was. She would not be hurt again, nor would she be lonely. He had seen how He Xun missed his mother for the rest of his life. Such a person would take good care of his mother.
When He Xun heard the little boy’s words, he frowned.
“You said you gave your mother a chance to start over. What did you mean? What happened to you?”
The little boy did not answer. He lowered his head and continued to cry.
He Xun suddenly felt a wave of gloominess in his heart. He asked patiently, “If you don’t tell me, I’m going to wake up.”
He Xun knew very well that he was dreaming. If he woke up, the child would not be able to communicate with him.
“I don’t have a name due to my mother’s limited time then.”
The child slowly explained, “That day, my parents quarreled. When my father kicked my mother’s stomach, I was so agitated that I gained self-awareness. I realized that my mother wasn’t living well. If she gave birth to me, her life would only be more difficult. I didn’t want to become that person’s child either.”
The child continued, “It was at this point that a voice asked me if I was to make an exchange, to use my reincarnation chance in exchange for my mother’s rebirth. I would still be able to watch over her by hovering in the air. It was a fair trade. Mom can live a good life. I can remain by her side, even though she doesn’t know anything. However, the voice also said that as long as I was always in my mother’s mind, I would be able to remain. But I might have a chance to reincarnate if my mother doesn’t long for me anymore.”
When He Xun heard this, he couldn’t help but swallow.
Did Chen Wei’er forget about this child? Why? What made her feel relieved? And what made her let go of her obsession?
Even so, He Xun didn’t say anything. He just listened quietly to the child.
“But it’s so tiring to float in the air and to avoid the capture of the Buddha’s light. Sometimes, I wish that my mother would forget me so that I could choose her again. But I also hope that she will never forget me so that I can always be by her side.”
As the little boy spoke, his tears endlessly fell.
“Mom has forgotten about me now. I feel sorrowful. I have never hugged her before. I have never lived with her like other children… I’m leaving today, and I won’t be able to see her again…”
