Chapter 933 - Born To Shine (2/2)

When she looked back, she heard her say, ”But I want to act.”

Chen Hana nodded her head with a smile on her face as she asked, ”Why?”

”It can make me forget who I am. And if I won't remember that, I won't be scared anymore.”

Chen Hana spent a long time staring at the nine-year-old before her. It seemed the little girl was also trying to run from herself. Or more like from her fears. But since she finally found something interesting, she didn't want to let it go anymore.

Later, as a child star, Xiu had acted in several commercials, movies, and tv series. And the more she acted, the more she seemed to brighten up.

”If you help her reach a bigger stage, there is always a possibility that you'll find her family,” someone had suggested to Chen Hana who had never stopped looking for Xiu's real family.

But while trying to help Xiu, she never realized she also needed help. She also needed someone to pull her out of her darkest time. But she never got that help. And she never tried to get close to Xiu as well. She was scared. Scared that if she made Xiu her anchor and one day, she left, she won't be able to stay afloat and might really drown in her own misery.

However, just because she never tried to make Xiu her anchor, didn't mean that Xiu did the same. For her, the person she had always depended on was Chen Hana. And because of that, she had ȧssumed Chen Hana to be her mother.

Not once did Chen Hana introduced herself as Xiu's mother. But the little girl was still little who believed that since everyone had a mother, she must have one too. And who could it be if not Chen Hana who always took care of her?

”Mom!”

The very first time Xiu had called her that, Chen Hana had cried all night. She tried to keep her distance from Xiu but no matter what, she couldn't help loving that little girl. But she didn't wish for this little girl to suffer with her.

So, even though she didn't want to ever go to China. She did bring Xiu with her there. Not for anything else but to give Xiu a chance to reach a bigger stage and to reach her family who might be looking for her. She wanted her to stand at a pinnacle where no one could help but look at her. At least, one of those people would be able to recognize that dazzling girl.

”Xiu, remember, never take off this bracelet. It's like your identity. You must never take it off unless it's for shooting. But at every other event, you have to wear it.” She had strictly advised Xiu to always take her bracelet with her. That one thing that linked her to her real identity.

But she was really hoping for too much. Some people couldn't be found just because we want to find them. Perhaps, Xiu's fate was also like that.
