"You were also told that Grandfather made up a story about what really happened with mother, it is not only to deceive the public but in a way it is for me not remember such a tragic event anymore."
There was a slight pause on the other end of the line but Lim Yi Sheng didn't say anything he just waited for Xi Ana to adjust her emotions.
Anyone who had experienced something like this and then reiterating it to other people would have at least feel the pain of it again.
Mustering the courage to tell people about a painful memory is something that only strong people could do.
"I'd rather endure the pain alone than to let him see how painful it was for me because if he saw, he would only feel more miserable than he already was."
Thinking about Xi Ana, with her small shoulders bearing that heavy weight alone Lim Yi Sheng can't help but feel hurt on behalf of the little Xi Ana.
