Zhang Zhentian was stunned silence for a long time upon hearing those words from his son. He couldn't believe his own father's health could deteriorate to such a state. How could just a few provocative words from him trigger a heart attack in his father, and how could his father possibly be diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer? He couldn't accept that the world could be so unfair. Although he hadn't been home for many years, he knew how much his father missed him. That's precisely why he couldn't bring himself to return to his father's side—he couldn't bear letting his father down over and over again, only to lead to despair.
He didn't ask for much now, just hoping for one more chance from heaven, to let his father live on safely, without the torment of illness, to be happy and content. That would be enough for him as a son. But was heaven really just?
