(312) Love and family
"Hey! But I wasn't happy at all. The Lady of Janie Ning sighed and said:
"If I had to make a new choice, I would rather do nothing for the rest of my life and be a mediocre housewife.
I usually spend time with those noble ladies in the salon banquet, chatting about gossip and scandals in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, I don't have to go to work, I concentrate on housework, and I have time to spend time with Jia Rao to protect the safe growth of children. β
"But it's all gone, and you should look forward."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I know I'm complaining meaninglessly, there is no regret medicine in this world, but for so many years, I have been living in endless self-blame.
My recklessness had been a big mistake, and even if William had recovered, his sweetest childhood would never be recovered.
The Valstads revere the domineering and the strong, despising the weak and weak.
How much bullying does a child with a disability suffer? It hurts me to think about it.
All these hardships that my son has endured, the discrimination he has suffered, the damage done to his young mind, all this can no longer be undone, and his childhood has been ruined.
It's all my fault...... That's right, it's all my fault.
When I read that letter on the front line, I felt like my heart was about to break.
Because I left irresponsibly, William had an accident on horseback, and it was at the moment of bad news that my life became dark, and although my husband chose to forgive me, I never had the face to stay in this house again......"
A large tear rolled down Lady Jane Winsted's long eyelashes, soaking the collar of her white coat.
Seeing that she gradually couldn't control her mourning, Constance felt that the atmosphere in the hospital room was becoming more and more awkward, and William and Dali were both watching from the sidelines, and they were embarrassed to do anything to respond because of their own face as the crown prince.
"Uh...... Please take care, Ms. Jian Ning, we still have some personal matters to go back to Jinhu Palace to deal with, please forgive me for leaving immediately......"
Then Constance walked up to the royal sisters, grabbed them by their clothes, and said:
"Let's go, don't make people feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, I think they'll take care of their own family affairs."
Due to the emotional excitement of Lady Janening, Dali and his son seemed a little overwhelmed, and they forgot to send the princes and daughters to school
Before leaving, Princess Edgar reluctantly looked back at Master William, cast a look of pity at him, and was dragged away by her brother.
The door clicked shut, and now only the divorced marquis and their disabled children are left in the ward.
Lady Janen Winstede, the well-known strong woman in the Valstad Empire, is covering her face and crying.
In fact, she is a really weak person, and over the years, she has overdrawn her strength.
Even on the front line of the battlefield, even in the face of wounded soldiers infected with the deadly plague, she has never flinched timidly, but now in the face of her ex-husband and children, she can no longer control her emotions and is a little broken.
The Marquis of Dali Ainfurt stretched out his hand, but it stayed in mid-air
He wanted to touch the weak shoulder, caressing the familiar long red hair, so that she snuggled into his chest again, and the outstretched hand trembled, but retracted, because they were no longer husband and wife, and the touch might cause the other to revolt
The Marquis of DalΓ was about to push open the door and leave for a while, he wanted to go to the corridor and take out his pipe, light the tobacco leaves, smoke a few puffs, and wait for his ex-wife to calm down.
Just as he turned to leave, a thin, pale hand grabbed the hem of his uniform.
Looking back, it turned out to be William.
"What's wrong?" He hugged his son.
"Father......," said William, "please try again, and persuade Mother to come home, not only for my sake...... And for the sake of the two of you, for this once warm home...... Please try again...... All right? β
The Marquis of DalΓ looked at his son in amazement, his pale and handsome face had never looked so strong.
He was still in the dark, not knowing how much the kid had grown, and a few months ago in Fog Pine Town, the young man had just gone through a brutal battle.
Now William Einfurt has been reborn, he is no longer the scared boy he used to be, now he dares to face any difficulties, he has a lover he wants to pursue, and he is ready to repair his rifted home.
"Mom's ......"
William's other hand grabbed his mother's lab coat.
"Please stop blaming yourself, I haven't blamed you for a second for all these years, it was my own playfulness that led to that tragedy, and now that my legs have hope, you should be happy, you have no reason to run away from this home again."
He forcibly pulled his father's and mother's hands together, forcing both hands to hold firmly:
"Please remarry! When I get married in the future, I don't want to be as embarrassed as I am now. β
With that, William straightened his arms to prop up his thin body and struggled to move into the wheelchair:
"I go out for a walk by myself to breathe, and when I come back, I hope to see a warm home." With a bitter smile, he opened the door in his wheelchair and left.
Now there are only two people left in the ward.
Janen Winsted was bent on escaping,
She wanted to break free of her ex-husband's hand, she just wanted to go back to the director's office, lock the door, lie on the desk, cry happily, and then face her colleagues in the institute with full spirit.
Dali grabbed his ex-wife's white coat tightly, and he didn't let go:
"I respect your medical care career, Jane, family and career can be at the same time, I will not tie you to your home."
"I ...... I don't agree... Dali, I'm sorry...... You should know that it's all over, I'm not a good mother, and we can't go back. She tried to flee again, but was held back.
"You know, Janine, it's not for William, it's our own business.
For most people, family is a responsibility, an obligation, a kiss of respect, a lot of children running back and forth, but for me, family and love are the same thing, it is a choice I made.
My love began with a look, and many years ago, that beautiful eye snatched my heart so hard that it has not let me go for so many years. β
Dali Einfoot looked affectionately at the amber eyes in front of him.
His mind flashed back to thirty years earlier, on that snowy night, when a girl in rags suddenly visited the Einfoot family's mansion (see chapters 1 and 2 of this book).
"I'm sorry, Jane Ning, at that time, I fell in love with you without your consent."
The dam in Janine Winstede's heart collapsed, and her long-standing reserve welled up with tears, and this time she did not push her ex-husband away, but let him take her into her arms
"Soon...... My dear...... Soon there will be another war, and it will be a big war that will determine the shape of the world, and I hope to be able to rebuild this home before then, and leave us with no regrets.
"Her Majesty, she ...... Will war really be declared on the kingdom of Solan? β
"Yes, the days of peace are long enough, this is the eternal law, when the two superpowers rise at the same time, a world war for supremacy will be inevitable."
"Dali, can you promise me that after we remarry, if there is really a war, I don't want to stay at home, I will go to the front line and fulfill my duties."
"My dear, you are an adult and a free body, and you don't need to ask my opinion. And I'm going to be entrusted with a lot of responsibility this time.
From the moment I knelt down in front of Duke Midknight's car, from the moment we decided to pledge allegiance to the Nightowl family, in fact, our fate has long been tied to the Empire, and we have to move forward in the face of fierce storms. β
"Dali, I'm grateful you understand me, but...... Have you ever thought about what our William will do? If we both die on the battlefield, who will take care of him? β
"He can take care of himself, our William is already a man, without us, he can still find his other half."
"But he still does."
"He already knows how to love, I heard His Majesty Prince Constance, William is in love with Princess Edgar, if they achieve a positive result, the Einfoot family will marry a bride of noble blood, officially entering the world's top nobles"
"Princess Edgar? Is that the girl with purple eyes and long straight silver hair just now? I thought she was Her Majesty Princess Rosemary. β
"You're confusing them, Your Majesty Rosemary is the girl with golden eyes and silver curly hair next to her, the sisters are somewhat similar in appearance, but their personalities are very different."
"She's so beautiful, and she has a kind of unruly wildness, much like when His Majesty the Emperor was young."
"Well, our William is very discerning, and he sometimes tutors Her Majesty the Princess, hearing that she wants to be an officer and wants to be a professional soldier."
"That's great! Everyone is chasing their dreams, and I really hope that every family can be so open-minded, so that no one will say, 'Marriage is the grave of love and career'. β
"Hey, Janening, look at the guy with the monocular in the building opposite, I noticed that he's been peeping this way for a long time."
"Huh? Why aren't you early? Shame me on! We're still here! If this is spread out, it must not be laughed at by others? This guy is really shameless, voyeurism and face waving at us! β
Marquis DalΓ laughed: "Hahahaha, take a closer look at who that voyeur is." β
Janen Winsted was stunned: "The redhead...... Is that...... William? And the prince and the princess, their majesty, they ......"
She finally reacted:
"Wow! What a show! Join forces to calculate me! β
