Ep 5
Si Chen sat alone in the dark room, a bottle of whiskey in his hand.
He took a long swig, trying to drown out the pain and the guilt that consumed him.
His wife, his beloved wife, was gone. And he couldn't even see her one last time.
His parents and his grandpa had never approved of his marriage to his wife.
She came from a humble background, while Si Chen was the heir to the prestigious Golden Heights company.
But love knows no boundaries, and they had defied his family's wishes and gotten married.
But now, his wife was dead, just hours after giving birth to their baby boy. And her body was missing. It was all too much for Si Chen to bear.
He couldn't believe that he, the CEO of a successful company, couldn't even save his own wife.
His parents' knocking on doors, telling him to take care of the baby. But how could he take care of a baby when he couldn't even save his own wife?
Si Chen took another gulp of whiskey, feeling numb and lost. But then, he heard a loud wailing coming from the door. It was his baby boy, crying for his mother.
Si Chen felt a pang of guilt, realizing that his wife wasn't the only one who needed him now. His baby boy was dependent on him, and he was the only parent the child had left.
He stood up, stumbling a little as the alcohol hit him. But he made his way to the door, where his parents were taking care of the baby.
He slurred, his mind still clouded by grief and alcohol.
Ning Xufei/madam Si
Your son
His mother replied, a hint of disapproval in her voice.
Ning Xufei/madam Si
He's crying.
Ning Xufei/madam Si
He needs you.
Si Chen looked down at the tiny bundle in his mother's arms. His son.
His wife's last gift to him. He reached out a shaky hand and took the baby into his arms.
The wailing stopped almost immediately, and Si Chen was amazed by how the baby seemed to calm down in his presence. He looked down at his son, tears welling up in his eyes.
It hit him then, that the baby only had him now. His mother and father could take care of him, but they could never replace his mother. And Si Chen knew that he needed to be there for his son, no matter what.
But then, his parents started speaking again, their voices filled with worry and concern.
Si Yan
What are you going to do, Si Chen?
Si Yan
You can't raise a baby on your own.
Ning Xufei/madam Si
We'll help you, of course
Ning Xufei/madam Si
We'll be here for you and the baby
Si Chen felt a surge of anger rise up in him. His parents, who had never supported his marriage, now wanted to take his son away from him.
Holding his son closer to him
Si chen
I'll raise my son on my own. He is my responsibility.
His parents looked taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction from their son. But Si Chen had made up his mind. He would prove to everyone, including his parents, that he could be a good father.
And as he held his son in his arms, he couldn't shake off the feeling that his wife's death was not just a tragic coincidence. He felt that it was somehow related to his family, who had never accepted his wife.
But for now, he had to focus on his son, on giving him the best life possible. And he was determined to do just that, even if it meant going against his own family.
Si Chen looked down at his son, who had stopped crying and was now sleeping peacefully in his arms. He smiled, a sad but determined smile. He was a father now, and he would do everything in his power to protect his son, even if it meant going against his own family.
