Chapter 17 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration

To outsiders, he was just an old wound recurring and had to go to To Trach to recuperate. I personally arranged his luggage. Knee protection belt. The tea set he used was familiar. Not missing anything. He sat by the bed, quietly watching me put each item into the trunk. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice:

“Tan Van... do you hate me that much?”

I stopped.

“General.”

“It's time to go.”

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

“Even a word of hatred…”

“You won't tell me either?”

I raised my head to look at him.

"Hating someone requires a lot of effort."

“But now…”

“You are no longer worth wasting any more of my energy.”

The smile on his face completely disappeared. Early next month. I brought Thua An from the incense offering road. Ta Tan Uyen was also pushed in a wheelchair. Just one door away. Inside was the sound of Tong Minh Thuc screaming until his voice was hoarse.

“I know you will definitely save me!”

“Get me out of here!”

“I don't want to be in this weird place anymore!”

Ta Tan Uyen tightened his grip on the wheelchair armrest. He still couldn't take another step. The screams still rang out endlessly.

“Tan Van harmed me!”

“She should be dead!”

“The child in her womb should not have been born either!”

Thua An was startled and leaned close to my chest. I bent down and picked up the child, gently covering his ears. Ta Tan Uyen wants to say something. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed violently. The water in the cup also soaked the hem of his shirt. I won't look at him again. Huong Thua An slowly walked down the stone steps from the street. The stone steps still contain rainwater. I suddenly remembered... My previous life was also on a rainy night like that. I knelt on the ground, holding my stomach, begging him to save our child. At that time... No one turned their heads to look at me. But today. I no longer need to beg anyone. Thua An leaned into my shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Mother, who is the person inside?" I pat your head.

“It's the person who did the wrong thing.”

The innocent boy continued to ask:

“Did your father also do something wrong?”

I turned my head to look back. Outside the door from the street. A person sitting in a wheelchair. A person is locked behind a door. Apparently just a few steps apart. But for the rest of their lives... They can't save each other anymore.

"That's right."

“If you do something wrong, you must be punished.”

Light rain fell. I hugged Thua An and left that place step by step. I never looked back. In this life...I have never personally killed anyone. I only let those who have despised the law...Finally be judged by that family law. Let those who trampled on the Ta family's rules... End up being imprisoned by the Ta family's rules for a lifetime. That... is the greatest retribution for them. (END OF FULL TEXT)
