Actually, for Zhentian, his life was truly filled with sorrow. His own son was right before his eyes, yet he had no way to embrace him. The yearning for his son, the longing for his family that filled these years, had no chance to bring him home to see them even just once. He knew that once he had made his decision, there would never come a day when he could feel regret. Having done something to embarrass everyone, who in this life would ever forgive him? No one forgives a person who has shamed them yet never offered an apology.
Zhentian felt that it was inappropriate to say anything to his son at this moment. He should sincerely face his father, offer an apology, make amends. All mistakes were his own, causing his father so much hurt. He had never considered the impact his actions might have on his father. So focused was he on his own freedom, he neglected the old man's feelings.
