He would rather bear the burden alone than let her know the truth.

Qiao Lian had no idea when she fell asleep. When she awoke, the skies were lit by the morning sun.

She looked at the time. 7 a.m.

By the time she got out of bed, washed up and got everything ready, Xia Yehua was already in the dining room having breakfast.

Qiao Lian walked over to her. Xia Yehua reached for her hand. ”You guys must have been awfully busy, I haven't seen neither of you all day.”

Smiling reassuringly, Qiao Lian said, ”I have nothing planned for today, I'll keep you company.”

Xia Yehua nodded.

Qiao Lian thought for a bit and finally decided to ask, ”Mom, are you visiting Yuanxi again today?”

The mention of Song Yuanxi caused Xia Yehua to feel a complex mix of emotions.

She had watched the girl grow up and treated the girl like her own daughter.

On the one hand, she had done a great deal of damage and harm to the family. On the other hand, she had now lost her sanity…

Xia Yehua both resented and missed the girl.

She was quiet for a moment before answering Qiao Lian's question. ”No, I won't go today. The rehab home allows two visits a week and they are strict about it. I'll just go once a week and that will be good enough.”

Once a week.

Before this, when Song Yuanxi was hospitalized, Xia Yehua had visited her every day.

It looked like Xia Yehua was ultimately upset and angry at the girl.

But who could blame her for feeling that way? In the end, Song Yuanxi had used her car to return to the villa, and had even injured Shen Liangchuan. It must have made her heart ache.

It wasn't hard to understand Xia Yehua's position.

Qiao Lian had leisure time that morning after breakfast.

Seeing that both Xia Yehua and Auntie Li were busy gardening, she sneaked out.
