124 It Would Be Nice If You Were My Mother (2/2)

Physical and emotional pain. Then what?

Song Wan was shocked at the level of her sadness. This was an emotion that would allow one to be reborn or be led to their destruction. She had a feeling: Ah Lui might be losing the most important and colorful thing in his life.

”I'm sorry.” She placed her hand on Xia Ruoxin's hair like she was her own daughter. If this was really her child, her heart would ache so badly for her. Alas, she was not. Song Wan might have felt the pain but had to put her son and family first.

They had indeed mistreated this child.

”I'm sorry…” Xia Ruoxin's eyelashes started to quiver helplessly, mumbling the words softly from her lips. This apology would appear to be the best thing that she received.

She deserved it. She was cheap and vicious, and she had caused her sister's death. These were what everyone had told her except for Song Wan. She was the only one to apologize.

”It would be nice if you were my mother.” Xia Ruoxin suddenly hugged Song Wan and stayed quietly in her arms. She could smell a mother's warmth. She had forgotten when was the last time she had hugged her mother or her mother hugged her. It felt as though she was very young, about four or five years old.

Her memory was hazy.

The feeling lost.

Song Wan's eyes reddened from the pain, and she returned the hug. She was a kind woman by nature. Xia Ruoxin really made her heart ache. It was a pity… she was Chu Lui's mother.
