Chapter 406 - Let Her Go, Please (2/2)

Instead of backing away however, Han Sheng smirked at her as if he was waiting for her to punch him.

'Kachk'

Yu Mei's grip on his collar loosened and she turned to look at Mia while the man removed the knife before stabbing it once again.

Tears welled up in her eyes and her chest felt stuffy as she weakly stepped back, ''L-Let her go... Please,'' She whispered softly, not finding any strength to speak, ''I won't move. I will listen to you... Please, don't harm her,'' Her legs wobbled slightly and she grabbed the arm of the chair for support.

''You should have been this obedient before instead of looking for your gun to shoot me,'' Han Sheng said before he took another sip from the glass of wine.

Han Sheng glanced to his left and the person hoding Mia pulled out the knife from her paw in one swift move.

Yu Mei's fingers clenched the arm of the chair so tightly that her knuckles turned pale, her eyes turned red.

''Don't worry. It won't die. The place where she was stabbed was not deadly but your pet does looks delicate and we won;t know when it will die,'' He laughed before taking a sip from the glass of the wine, ''But then it would be a pity if it dies given how much you care about it, am I right?”

Yu Mei stood rooted to her spot for some time before she quietly went to sit on the chair.

After a moment of stillness in the air, she glanced at him, ''What happened then? After the man died and his lover, the soon-to-be mother of his child was left alive, what happened after that?” Her heart felt numb and it took every ounce of self control in her to not turn to look at Mia.

Han Sheng nodded as he twirled the glass of wine in his hand, ''Yes, coming back to that... So the boy in love died and he left the girl in love with the symbol of their love. How great it is that the girl even gave birth to it, that child but then again, 8 months is too late to kill it.''

''Why would she want to kill her child?' Yu Mei asked him with a straight face, ''No mother would ever want to kill her own child.''

Han Sheng scoffed, ''She did give birth to the child, only to send the child to an orphanage later. Mother, it is.''

Yu Mei quietly looked at him while he continued speaking, ''The child grew up in the orphanage, all by himself, adjusting in the place, fighting for himself, struggling to make an identity for himself for not a day or week or a month, but for years. And after years, do you know who showed up?'' He tilted his head to look at her, ''She came, the girl in love and the mother that you spoke of. She was not any of those but she came as a rich lady this time around, to pity the poor boy and pick him up as an adopted son. What she never knew was that... the boy long knew of the truth, the father that he once had and the mother who discarded him like dirt, the boy was aware of everything. And you know what was more ironic? She married her first love's younger brother.''

Yu Mei did not say anything as she sat there with a straight expression on her face.

''Nothing to say, niece?”

''I have things to say,'' Yu Mei replied.

''Then you can say it out.''

''I am worried about my...pet.''

''Get people over to treat her wound,'' Han Sheng said as he looked at the man who was holding Mia.

Yu Mei inwardly sighed in relief. Even though she knew that these wounds are nothing to Mia but her condition was different today and.... there was no way she would let her stay this way.
