"Dad, I hope Mom will like you too!" Lin Xiangwan said with great empathy for her father.
"Yeah, having your support is enough for me!" Lin Lijun said joyfully. "I had always thought you might resent me, if that incident hadn't happened, you wouldn't have lost anything! You were made an orphan from birth, and when it comes down to it, it's all my fault."
"No..." Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "I know Dad is also in pain, it's only the bad people who are at fault!"
"But those bad people could have been avoided!"
"Why should we punish ourselves for someone else's mistakes? I think it's wrong to keep thinking about whom to blame!" Lin Xiangwan had come to terms with her own experiences. Life can never always go as one wishes, she reasoned, and if past sufferings could lead to present happiness, then that was a fair trade.
