The Villain's Wife Chapter 583 She is Free

The Villain's Wife 583 She is Free

Old Man Yu sneered at his daughter's reaction. Because of his responsibilities to the organization, he and his wife were forced to keep these secrets to their graves. After all, her wife used the organization's influence to do those deeds.

However… seeing Yu Yanwan act so mightily, declaring that she deserves everything that he and Lu Xialu earned, is infuriating him. Slowly, a s.a.d.i.s.tic smile appeared on his face. His daughter's mental state is weak. Would she be able to live knowing that she hurt her mother, who actually protected her in the shadows?

"Yanwan… you will be miserable for the rest of your pathetic life." He uttered in a low voice. "Even in your mother's dying state, she said nothing hurtful to you. She never mentioned what she did and even asked me to keep this as a secret."

True, Lu Xialu was not compa.s.sionate and was not really close to their children. However, unlike him, she did her best to support them in the shadows. In front of him and her children, Li Xialu was cold and strict. However, she was a mother. She gave birth to her children. She might not be physically close to them however, this does not mean that she really abandoned them.

"How does it feel, Yanwan?" he asked. "Does it liberate your anger? Does it make you feel happy, brave, and strong?"

"What are you talking about? Are — Are you insane?" she balled her hands into a fist. Disbelief clouded her gaze. Now that she thought about it. Everything that Old Man Yu mentioned is true. Those events happened in the past… those unexplainable events. "You can't fool me." She uttered. Her mother was the type of woman who always supported her husband's decision.

Yu Yanwan never heard her mother argued with her father even once. She never heard her fought against the man for the way he raised them. All she did was support her own husband while making sure that her kids were alive. So… how could Old Man Yu claim that Lu Xialu did something to help her out?

How could Yu Yanwan accept these words? She hurt her mother simply because of what she did in the past. She thought that this is her retaliation. This was her mother's karma. Once again, she stared at her father's aged eyes, and slowly, her gaze wavered.

Tears started falling on her cheeks. He was not lying. The old man never lied to them. He would rather hurt their feelings than give them false hopes. This was the reason why he told them about the blank will.

Yu Yanwan swallowed her nonexistent saliva. Guilt flooded inside her, threatening to engulf her sanity.

"You can leave now." The old man said as he finished his tea and leaned against his chair. "From now on… think about all the things that magically appear in your life while you were away. Think about all the conveniences and coincidences that happened in your life. Then… think about your mother."

"Yu Yanwan… you are such a disappointment. You and I… we will rot in h.e.l.l together." The old man said before he gestured for her daughter to leave him alone.

…

Not long after Yu Yanwan left, her mother pa.s.sed away. The woman holding Old Man Yu's sanity pa.s.sed away.

Contrary to the expectations of the people attending the matriarch, Old Man Yu never utter a word. Not a word of goodbye or any apology to her wife. He just… sat there.

For years, the old man wondered what will happen if she left him. After all, he was a terrible human being. For years, he feared that one day, he will wake up without her by his side. All those years, he never thought that losing her would be this… unbearable. Her death only made her realize how wrong he was. He never thought that losing was like having his heart ripped out of his chest.

He stared at his wife's gentle face as he wondered if she felt any pain when she had her last breath. He stared at her as he thought about their past memories. Hundreds of thousands of memories flooded his old mind, reminding him of the love that they cultivated over the years.

The old man held his wife's hands gently as he let out a deep sigh. At last, his wife is free. She will not feel any more pain nor any inconvenience. Isn't this a marvelous thing? She will no longer suffer from the poison that is slowly eating her lungs.

Slowly, tears fell onto the old man's cheeks. He then chuckled. He always thought that he already shed enough tears for her. He was wrong.

The old man held her wife's hands towards his face. He then gently kissed her hands as he uttered his vows when he married her. This was not the end. This was only the beginning.

Slowly, his sons and daughter were informed of the matriarch's death. And slowly, each of them showed themselves with their families in tow. After a few minutes of staying with her, the old man chose to leave and retire in his room.

He also chose this opportunity to let his family see his wife for the last time before she will be cremated. After all, her wife truly cared about them. The old man stayed in his room and refused to receive any visitors except for his lawyers.

As expected, this instantly caused tension inside the mansion. After all, his family is still there with him. The old man's action in seeing his lawyers instantly reached their ears. The changes in their faces were pretty fast. From sadness to nervousness. Soon after, old man Yu's actions instantly become the topic of each family.

After a few hours, this news reached the ears of the media. Lu Xialu and Old Man Yu are one of the most influential and respected couples in Hong Kong, not just because of their age but because they are very sociable. They have good relations.h.i.+ps with everyone and do not really have enemies in the countries.

At one point, the two received some awards for being generous. Moreover, the decades of marriage was another thing that the media admired.
