Domineering Lover novel Chapter 767

A panic struck Tracey, "What's the other side of the coin?"

"A twist of fate."

This phrase reminded Tracey of the fancy in soap dramas or myths.

"How?"

"Our ancestors recommended themselves to emperors with expertise; that is, our patriarch could foretell everything."

"They could tell the fortune of a nation as well as the fate of a family. One patriarch foresaw that our clan would be extinct if let nature take its course."

"Balance between Yin and Yang is important in geomantic omen, so our clan was divided into two branches to serve emperors. Yin was referred to female, while Yang male."

"We are the Yin branches. The then patriarch foresaw the doom of her family, but the other branch would prosper for ten generations."

"She was struck by panic. There were more than a hundred people in the family then, but none of them would survive the calamity." "After thorough deliberation, she swapped the fates of two branches with some measures, and the other branch died for us."

"It is said they were beheaded in June, and it snowed hard that day. Our ancestors escaped to the US with all her family members."

"However, since then, every successor of the patriarch will die ten years younger than the last one."

"It is said that this is a punishment for our stolen prosperity."

"The life we borrowed should be paid back with life, and our family will die out in this way."

"The patriarch who led the family to the US had foreseen this development. She said we should pay the debt at last."

"There was a doubt at first, but her prophecy turned out to be true. A curse or retribution, call it whatever you like. Anyway, it is true that each patriarch dies younger than the last one."

"Although we prosper in business, especially in the financial field, our art in geomantic omen has been lost gradually."

"Your mother knows only a little. As for you, I am afraid that you still have confusion about Yin and Yang. This is another punishment for our past."

This story saddened Ramiro and impressed

Tracey, 'Well, what ups and downs of this family!'

Then, Tracey asked out what was bothering her, "So, my Mom can live only 40 years?"

Before this conversation, Tracey consoled herself that things wouldn't be that bad, and the curse may be a rumor.

"I think so. Half a year ago, she got sick suddenly. And I saw the case of your grandmother, she..."

Ramiro paused at the mention of her grandmother. He seemed to lose control of his emotion for a moment.

Calming himself down, he said, "She was well but turned bad suddenly at her 50s. What's worse, doctors can find and do nothing. She died not long after her 50th birthday."

There were tears in Ramiro's eyes, and Tracey felt convinced that Ramiro valued her grandmother more than a host.

There should be something more than respect, like adoration, even love.
