"I know. Before he showed me that photo, I had always hated him. I hated him for not foreseeing the danger, for not being able to save my parents, for not finding me sooner, and for failing to find my parents' killer after all these years!"
Zhou Fan smiled and gently stroked Chu Yan's head. "But when he showed me that photo," he continued, "all the hatred in my heart vanished. The fact that he kept a picture like that for so many years shows that deep down, he truly loves us."
"I imagine that for the past twenty-plus years, he hasn't had it easy, either. He's probably been feeling guilty and blaming himself this whole time. After all, with his status and position, he couldn't even protect his own son, daughter-in-law, and grandson."
