Laisheng could never open his bedroom door, but it opened on its own when his life was in danger.
What stepped out was his father, who had transformed into a monster.
The man seemed afraid of being seen by Laisheng in his current state; he had been hiding, but when a hand marked with the Death Curse was about to touch his child, he let go of all his reservations.
Even if he were to be feared and loathed by his own child, he had to intervene.
The only eyes that retained sanity showed a trace of pain; he felt utterly useless, unable to even craft a beautiful hope for his child.
But unexpectedly, Laisheng immediately recognized him despite his monstrous form. There was no fear in the child's words, as if no matter what he turned into, he was still the father in the child's eyes.
His lips sewn shut by the Death Curse, the man struggled to open his mouth, but this action merely caused the curse on his face to spread even further.
