153 The Story of the Original Host
Vivian cupped Leon’s face and asked softly, “Do you still think he’s scary?”
Leon revealed a smile and shook his head hard.
Vivian told Leon about what she had done in private and took the opportunity to educate her son. “You see, Mom didn’t hit or scold him. The police didn’t even have a chance to question me. But isn’t his end worse than death?”
Leon thought about how Simon had only disappeared for a few days and he was already drained of all his energy. Moreover, there would be no end to such days. This was even more despairing than death.
This incident also made Leon realize how immature his methods were. He quickly recalled every step that Vivian had taken in the game and looked up at her. “Mom, I understand. I won’t use myself to hurt others again.”
Vivian nodded with relief. She would not do something like this unless she was at the end of the road. “You don’t care about yourself, but I do. Don’t you dare ignore your body and health in the future!”
When Leon heard Vivian’s words of concern, he nodded seriously.
Vivian then thought of how Leon always regarded her as a stain in her life. This was not a good idea, so she decided to take advantage of this matter to solve it. “You were worried that he would expose my past, so you panicked.”
“Leon, some things have already happened. Paper can’t cover fire. Mom will tell you about me.”
Vivian tried to dig out the memories that the original host wanted to forget. “I’m the eldest in the family. When I was six years old, your grandmother left the village, and your grandfather married another wife. They had three girls and one boy. The people in the mountains have always valued men over women, and I’m also working for my stepmother. I work the most, eat the least, and always wear the most torn clothes.”
“When I came of age, my stepmother was going to marry me to an old widower who was violent. His two wives were killed by him. I was afraid that I would die, so I ran out.”
“In the end, I fainted from hunger in front of your grandfather’s house and was saved by them. At that time, your father wasn’t such a jerk. Plus, he was quite good-looking. After getting along with him for a few days, I wanted to marry him. That way, even if your grandmother found me, she wouldn’t be able to do anything. After that, we had you. You know what happened after that.”
“After I came out, I ran to Sage City to make money, but I wasn’t well-educated, and I couldn’t even make a living there. In the end, I could only be a mistress, but I didn’t want to go on like this, so I sneaked out and started my own business.”
“Now, let me ask you seriously. Do you think having a mother who has been a mistress will be a stain on your life? ”
After listening to Vivian’s experience, Leon felt a lump in his throat. He shook his head repeatedly when he heard the question. He only knew that Vivian had given him the motherly love he had dreamed of. “Mom, as long as we can be together, I don’t care about anything else.”
Vivian smiled. “Leon, the thing I don’t regret the most in that marriage is having you. You’ve never been a stain on my reputation. It was my first time being a mother, and there were many things I didn’t do well. For example, I ran away from Simon. However, there won’t be a next time. So, Leon, can you forgive me for being late?”
Although Vivian and Leon had only been together for a few months, the moment Leon come, she have the passion as a mother and the fear of losing him.
She had already treated Leon as her own son. Other than the fact that she had never really given birth to him, there was no difference in their feelings.
To her, her past life was nothing. There were no family ties to her, so she didn’t care about changing her identity after her rebirth. The most important thing was to survive.
However, it was different now. She preferred to stay in this world. She even thought that if she could transmigrate earlier, perhaps Leon would not have to suffer so much.
The first part of the sentence was Vivian talking about the original host’s life, but the last part was what she wanted to say to Leon from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing Vivian’s affirmation, the corners of Leon’s mouth curved up slightly. He also gave a positive answer, “I forgive you.”
Vivian rubbed Leon’s head and said in a serious tone, “That’s why it’s fine if others know about these things. Rather than being afraid of others knowing about our past, it’s better to strengthen ourselves. The rules and right to speak of the world have always been set by the strong.”
