The author then continued to describe how the rest of the main character's family lived in agony afterward.
"I learn many more things from novels than from school," Alex mumbled.
He compared the story to his own life. He had also chosen to bottle up his problems inside his heart.
But his situation was different. He felt he was not as selfish as the main character in the novel.
The main character knew what it was like to live without his family, yet he still chose to make them experience the same thing.
If Alex had been in that position, he believed he would have chosen differently.
He would have tried to find a way to revive both parents without sacrificing himself, even if it took much longer.
"No matter what, I would not do something like this.
I am sure Dad would not sacrifice his own life for others either.
He knows how much Mom loves him.
If I can realize this, Dad should too..."
His eyes started to sting, and his heart throbbed.
"Dad, are you really still alive?"
