The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2240

"Yes, he is. Ye Fan asked me to care for him before he left. Perhaps he's the last descendant of the Chu family," Old Madam Chu uttered heartbrokenly.

Even though I should've gotten used to deaths after witnessing so many of them over the years, I'm still profoundly impacted by Ye Fan's fate. After all, Ye Fan is the Chu family's descendant I have valued the most for years. Yet, he ended up dying before I did. The heavens are cruel, making me, a hundred-plus-year-old woman, outlive my great-grandchild.

"Can I hug him, Old Madam Chu?" asked the female visitor with a trembling voice as she struggled to suppress her emotions.

Her sight never left Chu Lin once she laid her eyes on him.

When the old woman saw that, she realized something.

"Yun, is this child..."

The woman was none other than the former head of Chu Sect, who had disappeared after the war against her organization, Tang Yun.

Tang Yun silently approached Chu Lin and stretched her arms toward him to hug him.

However, Chu Lin shrunk his head fearfully and hid behind his great-grandmother.

Clearly, he was afraid of Tang Yun.

Disappointment was scribbled all over her face when she saw that.

Even though he was her son, he treated her like a stranger.

That was likely the most heartbreaking thing that could happen to a mother.

"Don't worry, Lin. Aunt Tang is your father's friend. She's here to visit you on behalf of your father," the old woman comforted.

"Really? Did you meet my father? When is he coming back to pick me up?" Chu Lin was excited to hear the mention of his father.

Tang Yun's eyes brimmed with tears as she hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.."

The person she felt the most apologetic to was probably the boy in her arms.

Even though I gave him life, a chance to know the world, I didn't raise him or keep him company. Again and again, I let him suffer. Sometimes, I think about how much agony I could've spared him if I hadn't acted rashly and given birth to him. I bet he wouldn't have needed to experience so many goodbyes.

Tang Yun spoke with unfathomable sorrow as she sobbed. "I'm sorry, child. It's all my fault. I've failed you."

The boy was shocked because he didn't understand why the pretty lady was crying. However, he could feel the anguish consuming her heart.

Sensibly, he wiped the tears on her cheeks away and took out a milk candy from his pocket.
