"I was not the best father," he admitted.
Li Xueyue rapidly blinked. She already knew that.
"I did not treat my sons with kindness…" he breathed out. "For I never received compassion from my father."
Li Xueyue did not know that.
"I did not become the father I've always wanted as a child…" He let out a small cough and patted at his chest.
"Now that I am approaching death, a-and welcoming him with open arms," he murmured and took a deep gasp of air before he continued on, "I've realized, in the process of making rulers out of them… I lost my sons."
