300 Ch. 300 Loraineâs Last Letter
Anxia heard Mei Yin, who spoke, deciphering all of Jamieâs hand language with tears in her eyes. Mei Yin also found her voice trembled when she learned what her mother had been through all this time.
Mei Yin didnât expect that Deke Shu was her grandfather and she was Anxiaâs cousin. It explained why Jamie cherished Anxia like her childâit was no wonder Jamie cared for Zhou Yu Hue sincerely as if the man were a valuable family member.
Jamie tried to protect them all in her own way even though she couldnât speak. And above all, never did Mei Yin imagine that the Loraine Shu she had met so far wasnât the real deal. That fake woman had deceived everyone here, including Deke Shu.
Anxia felt that her knees were weak and would have fallen if solid arms werenât wrapped around her waist to support her body. She knew that Richard was hugging her from behind, and she felt her heart fill with warmth again when she felt her husbandâs firm, broad chest.
âMy mother⦠she had suffered.â
âBut she never forgot you for a second.â Mei Yin continued when she saw her motherâs hand move again. âFor her, you are the best gift that appears in her life, and she never regrets it. Her only regret is that she wonât be able to see you grow up.â
Then Jamie told Mei Yin to give something to Anxia. Mei Yin remembered her mother telling her to get a letter from Jamieâs room when she set up some explosives in the Loraine island mansion.
Obediently, Mei Yin handed the letter to Anxia and told her, âThis is your motherâs last letter.â
With trembling hands, Anxia opened the letter and started to read it.

To Jamie, my best friend and sweetest sister in the world. Forgive me for involving you in my troubles. I shouldnât have called you and asked for your help. I know your condition is now dependent on my father, and selfishly thinking about my feelings, I ask for your help.
Thank you for being my friend and always helping me when needed. My dad sent someone to get me out of here, but I donât trust this guy completely. This person will become a traitor in the future, and Iâm unsure if I will leave this place safely.
I know Iâve been very selfish for wanting to involve you again. But I donât have anyone I can trust with all my soul. My father and mother-in-law are gone, and my husband is also in prisonâmy only hope is you alone.
Can you grant my wish one last time? Please bare it... please stay with my father and brother for a while. Tell them I have Xiao Xia, and Yu Long got her.
Whether they would save Anxia or not was up to them to decide. My instincts told me they wouldnât try to get Xiao Xia out.
They didnât like having weaknesses and didnât want to start one. Even so, theyâll try to meet Xiao Xia when the child grows up.
When that time comes, can you take my place and be her mother? I want you to tell her that I love her very much and never once did I forget her every second.
Even though I had gone crazy from the drugs, the name that came out was not you or Yu Hue... but hers. Tell her I have never regretted giving birth to her and am very happy that she came into my life. Not only me, but Iâm sure her father also felt the same way.
My only regret is that I will never be able to watch her grow up. But I never stop praying for Xiao Xia to have a much better life than me⦠than both of us.
I imagine Xiao Xia will find a man who sincerely loves her for who she is even though she was in Yu Longâs organization. I also pray that Xiao Xia will find an ordinary and dependable husband. But now that I think about it, wouldnât it be much safer if Xiao Xiaâs husband wasnât a common man?
Therefore I pray that Xiao Xia will meet a husband who has power and that no one will dare to touch my daughter.
I had heard that the Wong had adopted my daughter and brought her to the states. It sounded impossible, but I hoped Xiao Xiaâs spouse was one of the Alvianc or Regnz families.
I know what Iâm talking about doesnât make sense. It looks like this âcrazyâ drug is starting to affect my brain.
I will end this letter before it becomes a book.
This is my last wish, Jamie. Will you grant it? I will never forget your kindness, even when Iâm not by your side.
Full of love.

Anxia turned around to bury her face until her tears soaked Richardâs shirt. She thought she was indifferent toward her mother, without knowing her heart was so fragile that she wanted to scream.
Jamie wiped away her tears, understanding how heartbreaking Anxia was because she also felt the same sadness when she first read the letter.
From Loraineâs letter, Jamie learned that Loraine Shu, who was cold towards her, was not the real one. She didnât know how Song Lei could make a foreign woman have the same face as Loraine. Neither Deke nor Lawrence felt suspicious, even though Loraineâs personality had changed. The two loved and pampered the fake Loraine even more because her nature resembled a Shu.
Jamie was also hiding this little secret and acted in the dark. Now she knew Song Lei intended to rebel and didnât tell anyone because she didnât know who she could trust.
But she did not hide that Loraine had a child with Deke Shu because of Loraineâs last request. Unfortunately, just as Loraine had suspected, Deke Shu didnât bother saving his granddaughter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It seemed to him that Mei Yin was present enough in this place that he did not bother to show another weakness to the Luen group by asking for his other granddaughter back. Unless Anxia were a son, Deke Shu might have second thoughts.
Therefore, Jamie could only wait until the time came when Deke Shu sent Jamie to follow Loraine to Etros together with Zhou Yu Hue. Jamie had to part with the three-year-old Mei Yin, making the child forget who her mother was.
It was aching for Jamie to leave her baby, but she didnât have the power to bring Mei Yin and let someone else teach the girl how to speak, read, and everything. No one even considered letting Mei Yin know about Jamie, and Mei Yin believed Jamie was a kind-hearted woman, and since she didnât have a mother, she viewed the older woman as one.
But Jamie was Mei Yinâs birth mother, making Mei Yin feel miserable.
Like Anxia, who cried in her husbandâs arms, Mei Yin leaned her head on Xue Minâs shoulder and cried silently.
