Chapter 121 - The Long Ago Tale (3)

"Until the day that person return to take back what is rightfully theirs. Broken promises will turn into curses. Waiting for the one who casts it to bring life to them or stop them."  

The woman inhaled sharply, hugging her child tighter. She nodded her head knowing who the elderly grandma was talking about. Tears dropped down on her baby's wrap. Her lips trembled as she hesitantly asked, "W-when will that person return, and how would I know?"

"There is no telling… It's up to their fate and for the gods to decide. When the time comes, you may or may not be there for it. That person will come back to be your downfall or perhaps show your family mercy." 

"Is there a way for me to be there? I-I… want to apologize and make things right thing time." The woman sobbed, touching her baby's face as if trying to find a resemblance of that person in her baby. 

A person they were forbidden to talk about. A rule that was executed by the woman. She was selfish! To make the agony less and to forget about it. Completing erasing that person's existence. 

"Child, I cannot tell you that. However, the gods had allowed me to tell you this. That person will come back and remember its past. Havoc will take place and tear families apart. That person is unafraid to bring everything down with it, but there is a way to prevent it." 

"What is it? Whatever it is, I will do it!" The woman begged, holding onto the elderly grandma's sleeve. Afraid, the elderly grandma will vanish just like she appeared out of nowhere. 

The woman believed the saying of this person. She saw it happened with her own eyes! 

The old woman patted her hand, "There is more than one person who will come back. It's the circle of life, but out of all of them. There is only one person capable of stopping it, and you know who this person is."

The woman's eyes open wide and remembered what she did to this person. 

"H-how will I find this person?" The woman asked, there are so many people in this world. It will be impossible to find this person! 

"This person and that person will find their way back to each other. They are…" The old woman whispered the secret messages into the woman's ear. 

The woman covered her mouth with one hand. She sobbed even harder than before, "What have I done…"

Her newborn that hasn't wailed once finally let out his innocent voice. Ringing to seal the fate on her and them.

"Please let me remember, if not, let me be kind to this person."]

****

Of course, none of the Yang descendants believed in that prophecy. Especially when nothing out of the ordinary happened to them. 

Yang Jinhai was not a believer in the unexplained. Except, he had a chance to encounter someone claiming to see his future back in his younger days. He scoffed at that person but did it for his father, who insisted.  

"Your family are blessed to have sons, but only one." 

Yang Jinhai scoffed even more. Anyone wanting to scam them and snoop around will know that. The Yang family is famous and known to have only one child for the past generations. 

"I see your mother has the chance to conceive, but never the chance to give you more siblings."

This part alarmed Yang Jinhai, he grabbed the person by the collar and demand, "Who are you? What do you know!" 

No one outside of the Yang family knows this! How did this person know? They hid that his mother was pregnant but had the misfortune of miscarriages. 

The predictor person pulled himself out of Yang Jinhai's grasp, "Young master, you will walk in the same shoes and your wife too. Your son will also walk the same pathway."

Yang Jinhai, back in the day, was a hot-tempered person. He did not have that calm demeanor yet. He was angry that this person looked into his family's background and was trying to spread false predictions about them.

"W-wait!" The predictor cowered down, using his hands to shield his face from Yang Jinhai's fist. "I-I see your grandson. He is going to be unique!"

Well, of course! His grandkids were going to be unique and great! Yang Jinhai was about to bring down his fist again, but the predictor shouted for him to stop again. 

"In the future, you will propose for an arranged marriage!"

That was it! Yang Jinhai pounded the predictor in the face twice. He was pulled away by Xiong Qing, and the predictor ran away. Never heard of him again in Sinwang City. 

Yang Jinhai did not expect that the predictor's prediction was all coming true. His son did have one son only. His daughter-in-law was just like his wife when it came to having another child. He didn't think much of it since this has been the issue within the Yang family.

That was until the birth of Yang Zheyan. A child born with a mysterious and unexplained disease. Was this the "unique" thing the predictor said? Yang Jinhai was starting to believe in that prediction a little. He was more convinced when he actually proposed an arranged marriage! Something he didn't think he'll ever do! 

The words just slipped right out of his mouth one day. It was said to his best friend Xiong Qing too! Being prideful, he wouldn't take back his words. It wasn't the worse marriage arrangement anyway. 

He didn't think his slip of the tongue to tie a marriage will turn into a blessing in disguise. Yang Jinhai thought his heart came to a stop. When his grandson was casually touching a woman without breaking out. The woman who he arranged a marriage with! Even his mother still cannot touch him without his odd condition breaking out. 

It was now that he wished he had listened to the rest of the foresight. There seemed to be more to it, and the predictor's face didn't look good when he was trying to say what happens next. 

Yang Jinhai really wished he didn't punch that predictor's face...
