DEAR SUBSTITUTE
[YIZHAN-Wattpad]
••••••••••••••••

The Wang family was going through a somewhat alarming and stressful situation, some of its members had discovered countless things which had been hidden from them for a long time.

The patriarch of the family together with the youngest son-in-law had revealed a great secret, a secret that they had kept between them for 4 long years, a heavy and delicate secret which had to do in some way with each one of them but especially with the youngest of the Wangs.

Finding out that all this time he had been deceived not only by the person he had married but also by his father had been a great shock to him, but the most shocking thing was learning the truth about the birth of his son.

It turns out that, that father who was always cold and distant with little Tian had not actually been the person with whom he had procreated him, Tian's real father was the young black-haired man who lay in the hospital bed asleep under the effects of coma.

Yibo watched the sleeping Zhan for a long time, he stood still next to his bed with his eyes fixed on him, inside him a whirlwind of emotions raged with such force that it made him shake, he pressed his hands lightly between his legs and swallowed heavily. He could feel his body trembling slightly, he felt overwhelmed and restless.

- Zhan...- His voice was trembling.- Zhan...- He took his hand.- Was this the price you had to pay? Was this the price you mentioned that time?.- His eyes filled with tears.- It turns out...- He bit his lip.- It turns out that the person my son loves so much is actually his real father... - Sobbing.- Did you suffer a lot when you had to let him go?...- He brought Zhan's hand closer to his forehead.- I'm very sorry for having tried to prevent you from getting closer to him at first, I imagine how hurt and sad you were. ..I'm sorry...I know that it will do nothing to alleviate the pain you suffered at that time, but I assure you that I took care that our son was very happy, I made every effort, no matter how unhappy I was, I never transmitted this feeling towards him, I always showed him a beautiful world full of love.

- You don't have to apologize to him...- Sean appeared behind him.- If there is someone who should apologize, it's me...- He walk around Zhan's bed.- At first I thought only of my personal benefit, our parents longed for a grandson , especially my parents... they kept pressuring me.- He walked towards the head of the bed and stared at Zhan's face.- When I saw him appear in front of me I thought it was something incredible and at the same time great, this boy, he was so similar to me, like my reflection, so so many ideas came to me.- He looked at Yibo.- After our terrible start, the person who hated this marriage the most was me, I didn't want to be by your side, I didn't want to see your expression of hate...

- Then why did you do it? Wasn't it easier to ignore our parents' request? Why did you seek to have Tian?

- I did it for our father.- Sean smiled.- I did it for the only person who had shown me sincere love in all this crap life I had been living, the only person who took care of me, loved me...and protected me.

-.......

- At first I only saw Zhan as someone usable, whom I could discard later, I didn't even see him as a threat, the boy was desperate and would do anything to save his mother, it was the only thing that mattered to him so it was a great opportunity...- He raised his hand and caressed Zhan's hair.- But who knew that this boy so simple, so innocent and simple had turned out to be my brother in the end?.- He smiled softly.- I found out after having brought Tian with me. I had secretly taken a sample and sent it for analysis.- He sat by the bed.- When I first found out I felt angry, furious. How could the woman who brought me into the world abandon me and just stay with this boy?...then I remembered what she told me and with dad's help I found the truth...- He smiled as his eyes turned watery.- It turns out that my parents...the He...had bought me, my mother lived all this time thinking that her little baby couldn't see the sunlight, she thought he had died when in fact...they had taken him away.
