As Alex left Yu Chen's sickroom, his heart heavy with sorrow, he couldn't help but think about the man he had once known. Yu Chen, his father, had been a kind and loving man. He had been a source of joy and comfort, a constant presence in Alex's life.
But then, everything had changed. Yu Chen had been sent away, his fate unknown. Alex had been left alone, a child adrift in a world of darkness.
Years later, they had been reunited, but the relationship was strained, fractured. Yu Chen, his spirit broken, was a shadow of the man Alex had once known.
As Alex walked down the hallway, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. He had been so focused on his own pain, his own suffering, that he had forgotten about his father.
He had missed the chance to connect with him, to offer comfort and support. It was a regret that would weigh heavy on his heart for years to come.
