Old Zhang personally recounted the incident, and it was only then that Lin Dongfang finally understood what had happened during this time.
He too fell into silence, lying quietly in bed as though he were dead, never speaking another word.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Lin Ting continued to wail beside him.
Unable to hold back, Old Zhang rebuked, "What's the use of saying sorry now? Your grandmother has died, your brother is in this state, and now you realize you regret it, now you say you're sorry. What were you doing earlier?"
Lin Ting cried even harder, clutching Lin Dong's hand, pleading, "Brother, I... I know you won't forgive me, this is all my fault. Please, just say a word to me, say anything, you can hit me, scold me, just please don't ignore me, okay..."
