Jonas said, "This is my father, Linus Page. He lost his eyes because of fortune-telling. He revealed too many secrets and was punished by the heavens, making it impossible for him to make another prediction in this lifetime. His practice is completely ruined."
Jonas' voice was full of bitterness.
Philip finally understood why Jonas' family did not allow him to learn fortune telling.
With this example, who would dare to let their children and grandchildren learn this skill?
If Philip were in the same shoes, he would not agree either.
"I see..." Philip said with a sigh.
Jonas said no more but walked quickly to his father, wanting to help him.
Linus seemed to sense Jonas' movements and stopped in place, waiting for his son's arrival. He held no hatred or resentment for his son, only heartache.
Soon, Jonas came to his side and supported him.
With tears in his eyes, he said, "Dad, I'm back..."
"Welcome home," Linus responded simply.
"Do you have friends with you?" As if aware of Philip and the others, Linus asked.
"Yes," Jonas said without hesitation.
Linus paused and said, "Ask your friends to come in. I have something to ask that man too."
Jonas was startled and had a hint of doubt in his eyes but said, "Okay..."
Philip walked forward, supported Jonas' father, and said with a smile, "Mr. Page, please speak your mind. I'll tell you everything I know."
Jonas' father said, "Let's go in and talk."
Philip had no choice but to help Linus into the room with Jonas. Meanwhile, many people appeared in the front yard and greeted Jonas, who responded to them too. He clearly saw that those people's eyes were full of helplessness and resignation.
