TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

544-545

Chapter 544: He Doesn’t Deserve It
“He doesn’t deserve it. He doesn’t deserve it,” Liu Tongjia murmured, in a low, dry, and painful voice.

What she was feeling wasn’t just hatred. There was a deep sorrow on her face that shocked Su Qingsang and eased some of her anger.

Liu Tongjia was sitting near the balcony. Earlier, she had stood up and walked to the wall on the side of the balcony.

At that moment, she turned her face away from Su Qingsang and pressed a hand on her chest. She seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable.

“Mrs. Huo?” Liu Tongjia didn’t look good. Su Qingsang made two steps forward and reached out to hold her.

“Go away.” Liu Tongjia didn’t accept her kindness. She looked at Su Qingsang with anger, and said, “I don’t need you to play nice to me. You’re the same as Huo Jinyao. You both are the same kind of people.”

Su Qingsang didn’t move. She still didn’t understand what was happening. Thinking about Huo Jinyao, who was still lying on the bed unconscious, she once again looked at Liu Tongjia.

“Mrs. Huo, please mind your language. Huo Jinyao is your son after all.”

“What? Do you find my words unpleasant? I didn’t say anything wrong.” Liu Tongjia snorted with laughter and looked at her with sarcasm.

The hatred in her eyes was real and shocking.

“My son? I really wish that I had not given birth to a son like that.”

She patted her own chest, and couldn’t conceal the painful look on her face.

“You want to know why I dislike him so much, don’t you?” Liu Tongjia said, in a cold voice. She stood up straight and looked at Su Qingsang straight in the eyes.

“Do you find this ridiculous, that I hate him?”

“You don’t understand why I wish I never had him, do you?”

“Do you find me unreasonable? Do you also think that I’m not a good mother?”

Su Qingsang didn’t have the answer to Liu Tongjia’s questions, but she was curious indeed. She was very curious.

Despite how badly she wanted an answer, she wouldn’t ask Liu Tongjia nor Huo Jinyao about what had happened between them.

Something terrible must have happened in the past. Without that incident, Huo Jinyao could have avoided all the misfortune that he had been suffering lately.

She once told herself that she would never ask Huo Jinyao about those nightmares that he had been having, unless he decided to talk about it himself. She told herself that she would ask him questions when he wanted to talk to her about it.

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t matter if that day never came. Who didn’t have a past?

Who didn’t have a wound that they hated to talk about? She had that too. Fortunately, she got over it, because, meeting Huo Jinyao had changed her life. She was finally able to exit the dark side of her life.

That hadn’t happened to Huo Jinyao yet. The nightmare, the sleep-talking, and the illness all clearly indicated that he was still going through a lot of pain.

Su Qingsang looked at Liu Tongjia. She now really wanted an answer, because she did not want to see Huo Jinyao experiencing the same pain he had recently been suffering, not ever again.

He was no longer as proud and cheerful as usual. Seeing him suffering the pain that was caused by his family made her feel sad.

“Why?” Su Qingsang asked with a very gentle voice, as if worried that using a louder voice might destroy Liu Tongija’s desire for talking.
