Rewriting My Heart's Fate

Chapter 400

| opened my eyes, tears blurring my vision, but | felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

It turned out my mother was even greater and stronger than | had imagined.

"However, | believe he will cto see you again. There may be sreasons | don't know about, but | feel

there are still unresolved issues between Jack and your mother," Ethan suddenly stated.

Ethan's words surprised me, but | didn't expect Jack to clooking forjust a few days later. Reluctantly, |

found myself heading back to the prison to see him.

I really didn't want to see him at the prison, but something insideurgedto uncover the truth about

certain matters.

As | stepped once more into that cold prison, my heart felt unusually heavy, each step seeming to tread upon

the thorns of the past.

The air was thick with oppression and despair, starkly contrasting the bright sunlight outside.

Jack, who once occupied a significant place in my life but had destroyed it with his own hands, was now waiting

for my arrival.

Passing through layers of iron gates, | was led to a visitation room.

He sat there, looking more gaunt than before. His eyes lacked the former arrogance, replaced instead by an

indescribable complexity. Perhaps due to our last unpleasant encounter, he regardedwith a less complicated

expression this time.

"I'm curious. Why do you want to seeagain after the last unpleasant conversation we had?"

His tone carried an almost imperceptible weariness and a hint of resignation as if he hadn't expected us to face

each other again.

| took a deep breath, trying to make my voice sound steady and strong. "Jack, I'm here to clarify smatters.

About you, my mother, and those truths I've never truly understood."

He paused, surprised, and then a bitter smite crept onto his face. "The truth? Do you think knowing the truth will

change anything? Or do you think that once you know, you can be indifferent to it all?"

| didn't understand why Jack looked atas if he had gone mad. After a long moment of reflection, | took

another deep breath, feeling a surge of pain.

"If you keep saying you want to know the truth, then letbreak it to you."

I hadn't expected him to be willing to reveal the truth, but what he said next plungedinto despair.

"The truth is that you're not even my daughter, which is why | resent you. | feel completely at a loss when it

comes to you."

Tseemed to freeze in that moment, and the air was filled with a suffocating silence.

My heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy blow, painful enough to make it hard to breathe.

| stared wide-eyed at the man before

me, the

one | had once viewed as

family, now tearing apart the very bond of blood between us with the cruelest words.

"What did you just say?" My voice trembled, each word squeezed out through gritted teeth, filled with endless

despair and confusion.

Jack's face was expressionless, yet a complex emotion flickered in his eyes, resembling regret and liberation.
