Chapter 654 Family Love
My little uncle closed his eyes. He steadied his trembling voice, “Yes, I was held in the palm of my parents when I was young. I was doted on by my siblings when I grew up. I never knew the suffering of the human world. I always thought that I was very happy. However, I never expected that the person who destroyed my happiness was actually my most beloved big brother. Big Brother, I actually had a guess that you were the culprit in the fifth year, but I didn’t want to admit it, so I didn’t launch any investigation. I was afraid to face the result.”
My little uncle choked on his words, “Today, Nanxing and the others found me a reason to leave. They don’t want me to face you. I was already on the ship, but I still came back. Brother, I just want to ask you one question. For myself, for my sister and brother-in-law, for my second brother and Tong Mo, for my parents, for the ancestors of the Tong family. I just want to ask you one question: Why?”
My little uncle’s eyes were red, and he asked in a hoarse voice.
I nudged between Jing Tian and Qu Hao and hugged my little uncle from behind.
His body was trembling slightly. I didn’t dare imagine how much pain his heart felt.
Nanxing was ignorant when she was young. She had lost her memory for many years. Even though I had regained them now, the hurt wasn’t that intense because the whole incident felt detached from me.
However, it was different for my little uncle. For him, he had gone from heaven to hell. He had lost all his loved ones in a single night. Many years later, he was finally powerful enough to take revenge, but then… the target of his revenge was his own family. He didn’t dare to do it. The damage had been done.
Tong Hui’s face no longer had that frivolous smile. His tanned face made his expression become unpredictable.
“Is this really necessary? Tong Le, we’re blood brothers. We only have this little bit of time in this life. So what if we did something bad once in a while?” His tone was distant.
My little uncle grabbed my hand that was wrapped around his waist and slowly straightened his body. His grip was very strong, and it hurt a little. I didn’t avoid it and stood beside him.
“So our family was nothing in Big Brother’s eyes. Is that why you have the heart to murder your own kin? Just to treat your own illness?” My little uncle looked at Tong Hui. This time, his eyes were filled with anger.
Tong Hui did not speak and avoided his gaze.
“According to the records of the Tong family, there have been people who suffered from this illness in the Tong family for generations. However, no matter which generation, our family has never turned on each other. How can you do this? Medical science has improved tremendously. There is hope for a cure, so why did you turn to something so radical? Does your conscience not hurt?” My little uncle was hurt.
“So what if it hurts?!” Tong Hui suddenly flew into a rage. “You’re not the one with the illness. So what if they were family? If the family really cared about us, then they should have used Phoenix Blood to cure the patients. But did the family do that? No? Instead, the family worships the Phoenix Blood like it was a divine gift and gives the members with the illness sympathy. What’s the use of sympathy? There’s no such thing as empathy! No! No one understands the pain of an incurable disease! And no one has ever tried to cure it. Because apparently, it’s God’s
will!!
