Chapter 424: The Worst Things
In order to change my sister's bad life.
I finally made up my mind to tell him the secret of my ability to travel through time and space.
But when I said it, she thought I was crazy.
Just like I used to do to my father.
But soon, I proved to her that I wasn't lying.
Because, I took her back to the night she and Jimmy met.
It was the year I met my first love, and she and Jimmy met at a New Year's party at home.
Since then, a period of entanglement has begun.
My sister looked at the crowd at the party and Jimmy, who was messing around in the distance, and she quickly understood what I meant.
The next moment, I saw her, smiled and walked up to Jimmy, who didn't know her, and punched him hard.
Then she came back and told me, thank you, I can finally make all the bad things end in the very beginning.
When I took her back to the time when she was in a car accident.
All memories of the past have been completely changed.
My sister's boyfriend turned into my good friend Roy.
Even though he was very unreliable as a best man, I knew that he was a kind man.
Watching my sister's blissful interaction with him, I felt like I had finally saved her life.
But when I returned to my house, I found that it was not my daughter lying in the crib at home, but a boy I had never met.
I suddenly had the feeling of killing my own daughter with my own hands.
Re-traveling through time and space, back to the day my daughter was born, I found my father and asked him why he had changed the past and made his child disappear.
He told me that when a child is born, we can't go back to the time and space before the child was born.
Because that will make the child change in some way when he is fertilized.
In other words, if we have a child of our own, then the time before the birth of the child is the time that cannot be changed for us.
Just like other ordinary people, it becomes a lost past.
My sister and Jimmy met just before Mary and I got married.
I finally figured out that changing the past is not a panacea, and sometimes it will only make things worse.
I once traveled back in time and restored my sister's past to its original state.
Then, together with Mary, accompany her sister, who has just been in a car accident, and accompany her through all the difficult days.
Watch her step out of the haze with Jimmy day by day and find her new life.
It was only then that I realized how stupid it was to change my sister's life at will without effort.
It turned out that my sister would have broken up with Jimmy after this car accident and the experience of brushing shoulders with death.
I took her back in time to change my life, which was just redundant.
Luckily, my daughter is back.
I have also learned that the way to help my loved ones solve their problems is to give them companionship and support.
And not to change their past casually.
……
After my sister and Jimmy broke up, we were finally back on track.
I said to Mary, we're going to have a baby.
She smiled and said to me, "you, I don't want it." Giving birth hurts, and the body can get fat.
I smiled and told her, it's okay, it's just a little fat, you're still the most beautiful woman in the world.
Luckily, it didn't take long for us to have another baby.
The life of a family of four together is better than everything in the world.
Of course, if Mary hadn't asked me to pick out her clothes, the days would have been more perfect.
But a sudden phone call from my mother brought my life back into the abyss.
When I took Mary and my sister back home from Los Angeles and stood outside my door, I didn't even dare reach for the damn doorbell.
My sister was more decisive than me, she rang the doorbell, and when Mom opened the door, she rushed straight to Daddy's favorite study.
She knew her dad must be there.
My pale mother asked her if she was okay?
She smiled wryly, do you want to hear the truth or falsehood?
Then, she looked at me helplessly and said, if I tell the truth, then I am going crazy, and if I don't have your father, then my life will lose all meaning. That's where I am right now.
This incomparably resilient woman has also become so fragile at this time.
Mary put her arm around her mother's shoulders and comforted her as she walked through the door.
I followed them, my mind in a mess, not knowing what I was thinking.
In the living room, I saw Uncle Wang Defu.
He stood there, still in a crisp suit, looking out the window at the sea without saying a word.
I asked him, "Uncle, are you okay?"
He told me that it wasn't bad, but it was feeling a little hot.
In the hot summer, my uncle still wears a full suit, and he always does.
Then, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he told me a little choked up and told me, your father is in a very bad condition now, terminal cancer.
I nodded a little bitterly, though I didn't want to believe it was true.
Uncle continued, "Do you remember? At your wedding, your father said he loved me, and it was the happiest day of my life. But the hardest day was today.
I knew that my uncle and dad had a very good relationship, but it wasn't until today that I found out that their relationship was even better than I had imagined.
When I walked into my father's study, he stood a little haggard at the window, as tall as an old green pine.
He looked at me and said, "What did your mother tell you?" Your sister came to me crying just now. Now it's your turn again?
I looked at the man in front of me, who was more responsible than most fathers and had been by his side since he retired at the age of 50.
Thinking of this, I suddenly understood why he retired early at the age of 50, because he already knew when he died, and he chose to leave more time for his family.
I couldn't accept my father's calmness at all, and I thought he had cheated on me.
Because he didn't tell me about his sudden death.
I always thought that our family of four could live happily ever after.
Like in all fairy tales.
Besides, we still have the ability to travel through time and space, so why can't Dad give himself more life.
Face my question.
Dad gave me an answer that made me helpless.
It turned out that he had known that he would develop lung cancer, and he replied that it was probably caused by his smoking habit.
But he couldn't go back in time and let his younger self quit smoking.
Because before my sister and I were born, if he wasn't a sexy bad boy who smoked, our mom probably wouldn't have fallen in love with him.
Just as it was impossible for me to change my sister's past life, my dad chose his own life and stopped at the right time and in the right way.
With this understanding, I realized that my father's departure seemed to be a predestined thing.
Like he said at my wedding, everyone uses the same ending.
The difference is who we spend our lives with.
Seeing my thoughtful look, my father smiled and pulled me to sit with him, he wanted to give his son all the experience of his life today.
It's not about traveling through time and space, it's just about a man's life.
