Grandpa paused for a while and continued to say, "Zach kept waiting for your mom. Three months later, she came back, but she had changed. She broke up with Zach face to face and told him that she had found her Mr. Right.
Zach hoped that she could give it careful thought and he gave her one year to think about it. However, your mom had made up her mind and even threw money at his face, asking him how much he needed to break up with her.
Seeing Zach was badly hurt by your mom, your grandma and I disagreed. We locked her in and did not let her go. Seeing that, Zach agreed to break up. However, we were responsible for her changes. She scolded him for destroying her and her happiness.
Your mom said it was because of him that we disagreed with her. She even asked Zach to die so that she could be free. She told us that she had been pregnant and the baby should be you.
The next day, Zach's body was found by the river… He had been taking care of us for a long time and we had regarded him as our son. When he died, your grandma and I were heartbroken.
However, your mom was unrepentant. We let her kneeled down at the grave and apologized to Zach, but she was unwilling and even said that he deserved it and his existence was a threat.
We gave her a few slaps on the ear and cut our bond. She was banished, but in fact, she had already been unwilling to stay there.
She said that after meeting Chandler, she knew the world was so wonderful. What he gave her were happiness and satisfaction she had never experienced. She said loving money had nothing wrong, and she also loved the man.
She didn't belong to the poor village. She should fly to a more wonderful world, where she should stay.
She also said Zach could give her nothing, neither could his love. She not only needed love, but also respect and power.
Now she made it and she thought she was right.
Your mom just left. We would rather our daughter was dead than became like this.
And Zach was so innocent. Your mom should be responsible for his death. As her parents, the sense of guilt can never be got over. Until now, I cannot forgive her… Rose, shall I forgive her?"
"Grandpa, this was their willing choice, so please don't torture yourself." Rose's eyes were moist after hearing his words, "Forgiving her is to let yourself go."
Though she thought Joy should never be forgiven, she didn't want grandpa to blame himself for Zach's death so that he was tortured all along.
"Rose, we didn't raise your mom well, so that she would make such a big mistake. She can pretend nothing has happened, but we cannot. We have never done anything wrong in our lives, but we are just responsible for Zach's death." He sighed with a bitter smile, "This is what I deserve."
Rose was thinking about how much Zach loved her mom so that he could even give up his life.
If it were Rose, she would never do so. However deeply she loved someone. If that guy didn't love her, she was unwilling to make herself lowly.
She would just turn around and leave. Though she might be attacked by such a love every day, she had to bear it alone.
"Grandpa, if that's the case, shall I also be responsible?" Rose bowed her head, "If she hadn't had the baby, things might be different."
