"You... believe me?"
Lu Mello never thought that his father would say something like that. He knew that he sounded crazy when he started talking about stuff about time traveling.
Despite being surprised, he was also relieved that his father believed him.
"Yes, I do. Those thoughts... I once had them during my last moments in my past life."
"In your... past life?" That was such a shocking revelation for Lu Mello! His father traveled back in time too?
Lu Yifeng clasps his hands together. "I was once hated by your mother. In fact, I was also hated by you."
"No way..." Lu Mello cannot imagine hating his father. He has always admired and loved him. He has always wanted to be like him.
Lu Yifeng turned to the family picture that was on his desk. "I only realized that the things I did were wrong when my life was slipping away from my body."
He turned to Lu Mello with a small smile on his lips, "I was a horrible man back then. I broke our family in the past that"s why when I learned that I went back in time. I did my best to change.. I did my best to fix our family."
"Have you ever told someone else about this?" Lu Mello inquired. He can never imagine that his father was a bad person.
"Your mother knows about this. In fact, just like me, she regained the memories of her past." He chuckled a bit. "I had to start from the beginning again when it comes in proving myself to her."
"Mom traveled back in time too?"
"No, I don"t think she did."
Lu Yifeng has given it a thought but from how he a.n.a.lyzed things, his wife"s case was different.
"I have changed the future. In fact, she was already pregnant with your sisters when she regained the memories of her past. You see, we never had your sisters in the past. If she were to travel back in the past, that would mean that it was supposed to be one of those times where I haven"t changed things between us yet." He paused and sighed. "It is a very complicated topic, Mello. That is why all I can say is that, she only regained the memories of her past."
Lu Mello was so confused. His father was right; the topic was so complicated that he didn"t know what to do about it.
"Dad, how is that possible? No matter how I think of it, it just seems impossible. Do you think that it"s in our family bloodline or perhaps something related to it?"
Lu Yifeng shook his head. He tried to look into it once but he found nothing strange concerning his family bloodline. If that was the case then why would Xia Meilin regain her past memories too?
"I think it"s all about what we thought during our last breath," suggested Lu Yifeng. That was the only possible reason he could think of. It was not about family bloodline or things related to that, it was all about a person"s heart.
"If that"s the case, then why is it not happening to others?"
"Not everyone is given the pleasure of having a second chance in life like us." Lu Yifeng was filled with questions too but he knew that finding answers to those questions was not easy.
Things impossible were made possible because of the strong desire of wanting to be forgiven. The want to repent, the want to change, the want to make things right... A person who is willing to change are given a chance to correct his mistakes.
"I prayed for another chance. I was given another chance to change the wrong choices I made in my first life."
Lu Yifeng clenched his fists tight, "I will do my best not to commit those sins again. There were times where I thought that I am not worth the second chance but here I am, living my life in it." He stood up from his seat and walked toward Lu Mello. "Maybe the reason why your mother regained her memories of our past was so that I can truly repent and redeem myself to her."
He stood in front of him, "Tell me, son, what do you think is the reason that you were given a second chance in life?"
Lu Mello lowered his head in the thought of it. What was the reason?
Just like what he told his father earlier, he wanted to save her. He wanted to love her better. He wanted to be there for her and make her feel that she has someone else she can give her trust. He wanted to make her feel that she doesn"t have to pretend in front of him.
There were other ways of getting revenge for the people who mistreated her. She didn"t have to become evil just to have her ways.
Was he given a second chance because of that? Then why not s.h.i.+ Enxi instead?
He suddenly remembered the words she told him before she jumped off the cliff. "You know Mello... if... if I was given a chance to change everything… I won"t. They deserve to die. I"m going to kill them all over again, maybe even worse than how I did in this lifetime! I don"t regret killing them. They deserve it!"
If she was going to travel back in time, she would only repeat everything... maybe that was why she will never be given a chance to travel back in time. She was never going to change, neither will she try to forgive herself.
"I will not ask what happened in your past and how you were killed." Lu Yifeng sat beside his son. "Since you are given this second chance, make it worth it and don"t ever waste it, son. If you want to go after her, then do it... but do it in a proper way. Second chances are given so that you can make things right."
