150 Murdering Father
Upon seeing Leon being out of danger, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief and ran up to him, looking him over from side to side to see if he was injured. Her brow furrowed when she noticed the bruise on his mouth.
Worried that Simon might say something, Leon turned and slammed Simon to the ground when he saw Vivian and a dozen other people approaching. He then viciously beat Simon’s face, his fists fast and urgent, with a hint of crimson in his eyes.
Leon hated his father for being like this, hated Simon for disturbing their lives even after he left, and even hated himself for not being able to handle things on his own. He even hated his own birth for putting Vivian in this situation.
Leon felt as if he had returned to the scene of his childhood dreams, where only in his dreams could he defeat the demon much taller than himself.
This was Vivian’s first meeting with Simon. The original memories of Vivian immediately matched the name with the face. She did not step forward to stop Simon when she thought of the abuse he inflicted on Leon as described in the book. It wasn’t until she felt Simon was about to pass out that she approached and held Leon’s hand, saying in a gentle tone, “Be good, sweetheart. Mom will handle the rest.”
Vivian’s gentle tone pulled Leon out of his dream and back into reality. He lowered his head, with red eyes and a choked voice, saying, “I’m sorry. I can’t do anything right and always cause you trouble.”
Vivian felt the unusual emotions from Leon and held him tightly, pressing her face against his forehead and softly soothing him, “Leon, you’re still young. It’s normal to not do everything perfectly. If you could do everything well, then there would be no need for Mom to exist. It’s okay, Mom is here for you.”
Leon buried his face into Vivian’s shoulder, tears streaming down his face. He tried his best to suppress his crying, not making a sound. He didn’t want others to see that Vivian, who was so excellent, had such a weak son.
Vivian felt worried that Leon’s emotional repression would lead to a breakdown, and gestured to David to handle things, while she embraced Leon and got into the nearest car.
After the car doors were closed, Vivian held Leon and gently stroked his back, “Son, just cry it out. It’s just us mother and son in the car.”
Only then did Leon let out a sobbing sound, followed by sobs, and his crying gradually grew louder, while Vivian just held him quietly.
After a few minutes, Leon’s emotions calmed down a lot, and Vivian lowered her head to wipe his tears with a tissue.
Looking at Leon’s red, tear-streaked face, Vivian felt extremely distressed and asked softly, “Baby, Mommy is very worried about you right now. Can you tell me what happened?”
Leon came out of Vivian’s arms, sat up straight, and recounted everything that happened between him and Simon from their first meeting in the capital to the present.
Vivian didn’t expect to meet Simon herself. The book did describe the rumors of Leon killing his father in his youth, but it didn’t mention the reason. However, if she hadn’t appeared this time, it would have been equivalent to following the plot in the book.
“So you attacked him because you were worried about me?”
Leon nodded eagerly and said, “Mom, you haven’t spent as much time with him as I have. You don’t know how terrible he is! Once he gets close to you, you can’t get rid of him no matter how hard you try!”
Upon hearing this, Vivian knew how much of a psychological shadow Simon had caused Leon.
She felt furious but showed a gentle smile on her face, patiently saying, “Leon, even the most powerful people have weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Simon is not that powerful, he just shamelessly took advantage of his physical superiority to bully you when you were so young and small.”
Unfortunate people need a lifetime to heal from their childhood. Vivian didn’t want Leon to carry the shadow of his childhood forever, otherwise, the trigger for a blackening would always be present.
Vivian patted Leon’s head and said with a smile, “Sweetheart, there are many ways to make a person disappear. Let me teach you a tactic with this incident and show you what is called ‘winning without fighting’.”
The outdoor base is equipped with a dedicated medical team, which is an extra medical team set up by Eternity Secure Company.
Vivian first called to help Leon and the Sanda coach ask for leave and then went to the outdoor base with Leon.
Leon did not harm Simon’s vital parts, and the rescue was timely. After the surgery, he woke up shortly after.
The mother and son entered the ward, and at this point, Simon’s face was already swollen like a pig’s head. He had lost several back teeth from the beating and was in so much pain that he could barely speak.
