125 When Rivals in Love Mee (1/2)
”Mom…” Xia Ruoxin mumbled softly to herself. It felt as though she had traveled back in time to when she was four years old. It's just that she was no longer four. She had grown up. She was ruined and in pain.
”Yes, I'm your mother. Sleep, my child. Everything will be better once you woke up. Your path will be easier when you awake.” Song Wan covered her mouth with her hand. The first was always the most painful. There was an instant when she gave up. She did not want them to go through the divorce and be separated.
In the end, she stopped herself and pushed the thought away.
She could not be selfish to her family, which was why she had to be selfish to her.
Xia Ruoxin stared at the doorway dully after Song Wan left. She sat for the entire morning and afternoon. When she stood up, she walked out like a wandering spirit. It was dark and foggy outside, cutting off much of the warmth from the sunlight. It illustrated her emotions at that moment well—dark and without a ray of light.
She turned around and looked at the home that she had occupied only for a few months. This place held her happiness, her pain, and her memories.
Very soon, she would have to leave this place.
She walked forward and shifted her legs step by step, without a destination. She just wanted to leave that place. She had not wanted to survive in that lonely place because she felt so suffocated that she couldn't breathe.
So many things happened unexpectedly in this world. A person met someone that the person did not expect or not want to meet. The two women met each other's eyes.
One looked uneasy, with her eyes avoiding the other—guilty, embarrassed, and ashamed. Her head was lowered as though she was afraid of meeting the dull pair of eyes. She was more afraid of being blamed by others.
The other woman's mouth opened and closed a few times. Finally, the corner of her lips fell helplessly. It had nothing to do with the other woman. Her problem was her own.
