The secretary who had been standing next to them all this time: “???”

Why did the boss suddenly become full of interest about some unknown repairman? Was this a pop quiz to check someone’s household registration book?

Not only that, but this repairman was also odd. When random people quizzed him about his household registration, he was also very cooperative.

One dared to ask and the other dared to answer.

Seeing that he asked such detailed questions, <Older Brother Kai> indeed felt more confident. It seemed that his father really hasn’t forgotten them. He clenched his back molars, clenched his hands into fists, and mustered up the courage to say, “Dad, do you still remember me?”

Secretary:”???” 

What the hell? They were chatting just now and somehow suddenly want to acknowledge a father and son relationship on the spot?

He looked at the repairman like he was some unknown monster. Did this guy know that his boss had no children, so he’s recommending himself to be his godson?

How could the boss agree to this?

Even if the boss wanted to accept someone as his godson, of course he would have to recognize him first who had been by his side for many years!

However, as soon as the repairman finished speaking, the middle-aged man leaned sideways, trembling, as if he had been struck by lightning. He turned his head, and his glasses were already filled with water mist.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief, “You… you already know everything?”

His appearance was quite different now that he was old from when he was young, but his son could actually recognize him at a glance?

The tall and vigorous <Older Brother Kai> choked up on the spot, “Yes, I asked a younger sister to tell my fortune today, and she revealed to me everything. It turned out that you have lost your memory, that’s why you haven’t been able to come back home for thirty years.”

The middle-aged man’s Adam’s apple rolled and he struggled to speak, “Then… don’t you hate me?”

He had gone back to their hometown wearing a mask, hoping to find out how his wife and children were doing.

“Oh, you’re talking about Widow Wang’s family. Widow Wang was taken to the city by her son. She has endured hardship for half her life, but she is finally able to enjoy happiness at her old age.”

… “Why are you calling her a widow?”

“Her useless husband ran away more than thirty years ago. Tell me, how is she not a widow?”

The middle-aged man only found a little bit of information in the village. Other than that, his ears were filled with abuses unknowingly hurled by the villagers against his own self.

In fact, it was also difficult for him to believe that a man who had been away for more than thirty years during the most difficult time at home did not abandon his wife and children.

The more he heard, the more frightened and uneasy he became. The span of more than thirty years has created a gap like a natural chasm between him and his wife and children, which did not seem capable of being filled.

They must truly hate him!

<Older Brother Kai> frowned and said, “We didn’t hate you, we all think you must have had an accident so you couldn’t come back.”

The middle-aged man did not expect that they did not hate him and burst into tears, “I understand, then she… how is your mother now?”

When he woke up that year, a brightly dressed woman was by his side. When he told her he didn’t remember anything, she said that she was his girlfriend.

She said that he was an orphan, and he came to the city to work. She said he fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her wholeheartedly, and they have been together for half a year.

The woman also provided various information to prove her words.

But he always felt that something was wrong with the story. His girlfriend should not be like this, and should be more shy and sweet, so he always had a skeptical attitude towards what she said.

It came to a head when the person who claimed to be his girlfriend said it was time to get married; he refused directly and broke up with her.

He was not attracted to her at all, so why would they even talk about marriage?

He really didn’t understand how he could be with such a person before he lost his memory.

During the more than thirty years of amnesia, he would often dream of a person, but he could not remember it at all when he woke up.

He vaguely felt that that person was very important and always felt that he must remember it. He would even beat his own head, hoping to make this ineffective machine come up with a good picture.

But no matter how much he beat himself, the memories of the past could not be recovered.

It wasn’t until after the car accident a few days ago that he remembered that the person in his dreams was his cherished wife.

“My mother had to have an operation a few years ago, and her health is now very poor. She needs to take a lot of medicine every day.”

“… Take me to see her.”

<Older Brother Kai> knew that although his mother didn’t say it, she always missed his father in her heart.

If this middle-aged man had remarried, <Older Brother Kai> would never have taken him to see her.

But now that he knew that this person has not remarried, he also now wanted to bring his father to his mother and joyfully tell her: his father, who has been away for more than thirty years, was back!
