Dream Reading

Upon learning that my daughter was domestically abused and disabled by her husband, and unable to hold accountable, I calmly asked the police, domestic violence is not considered a crime, right?
No one knew, when my daughter was 5 years old, she was bitten by a rabid dog, and I kicked the rabid dog to death.
When she was 8, she was harassed by a neighbor, and I beat the neighbor until he was permanently disabled and still sits in a wheelchair now.
At 15, she was bullied by some thugs, and I stabbed to death the gang leader and severely injured three accomplices.
I spent a full ten years in a maximum security prison.
Today is my first day of release after serving my sentence.

After Release, Dad Went Crazy Upon Learning His Daughter Was Disabled by Domestic Abuse

I stayed in the hospital day and night for half a month before Xiaoxiao finally woke up from her coma.


At the first sight of me, my daughter was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into tears.


Her eyes were swollen, her face pale, her whole being like a porcelain doll on the brink of breaking.


"Dad! You're finally back, I missed you so much..."


"I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime..."


Listening to my daughter's grievances and desperate accusations made my heart ache. I quickly raised my hand to comfort her, but seeing the injuries all over her body and face, my fingers froze in place.


She, such a little girl who was afraid of pain and loved beauty.


Yet now, she's been beaten by that beast Li Chen into a life where she'll have to live with a colostomy bag forever.


It's unimaginable how desperate she must feel inside.


"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, Daddy's back, and Daddy will definitely get justice for you!"


My daughter forced a bitter smile, her eyes filled with despair, staring fixedly at me.


"It's useless. I've dreamed of divorcing that beast, but no lawyer is willing to take my case, not even the police, they're all in cahoots with the Li Family."


"Do you know what Skynet is? As long as I'm alive, no matter where I escape to, Li Chen's family can always track me down."


"Every time I think I'm about to gain freedom, he'll cruelly drag me back like a cat catching a mouse."


Listening to my daughter's tearful voice was like having my heart violently wrung.


I reached out my hand to gently stroke my daughter's head, just like when she was little.


After coaxing my daughter to sleep, I went to the dean's office.


I couldn't wait to get my daughter's injury report to file a lawsuit against Li Chen.


But the dean's response sent my heart plummeting.


"In domestic violence cases, it takes two to tango. If she's not at fault, why would Li Chen hit her?"


I was trembling with anger, unable to believe these words came from a hospital dean.


Domestic violence is domestic violence, what right does Li Chen have to lay a hand on anyone?


The dean waved it off dismissively, saying, "Li Chen's uncle is a judge at the city court; what do you have to fight against them?"


He even threatened to have the Li Family cover all the medical expenses if I gave up pursuing justice.


"Your son-in-law has already spoken to us. If you dare to cause trouble, your daughter can forget about continuing treatment here. If something happens, don't blame us for being ruthless!"


Looking at his ugly face, anger and despair intertwined in my heart.


I refuse to give up, I will die before I stop fighting for justice for my daughter!


The dean laughed heartily, his laughter full of mockery: "Who is your son-in-law? He's a lawyer with background and connections, and you? You have nothing!"


"I advise you to give up early. Go home and think it over. Your son-in-law has been quite good to your daughter; at least he gave her a home. If you keep struggling, her life will be ruined!"


I clenched my fist, my nails digging deep into my palm, blood oozing out.


Li Chen beat Xiaoxiao like this, and we're supposed to be grateful to him?


I refuse to believe there's no place for justice in this world!


Suddenly, the urgent voice of a nurse came from behind:


"It's not good, the patient has committed suicide"
