Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Both Ou Huojin and Jiao Ziqing were very clear about what had transpired. Back then, Xian’er had suddenly fallen ill with no hope of recovery. Her young life had been cut short.

All the way until Xian’er died, her family had refused to allow Wen Fenglin to see her. On the third day after Xian’er’s death, they carried her funeral portrait to Wen Fenglin’s home and wailed bitterly that it was he who had caused the death of their daughter.

In the end, Wen Fenglin’s single mother couldn’t bear the weight of their pressure and committed suicide. Wen Fenglin remained alone for the rest of his life and never got married.

As for Xian’er’s family, they relocated and never stepped into Kingstown again.

Wen Fenglin’s tone was extremely emotional. The cadence of his words were powerful and resounding. When he finished speaking, he realized that his emotions had gotten the better of him. He calmed himself down and apologized, “Apologies, I got a little emotional.”

Jiao Ziqing and Ou Huojin were left speechless by his tirade. The atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet.

“Mom.” Ou Ming finally spoke. His voice was still toneless. “I want to live.”

That one sentence with just a few words was enough to pierce right into Jiao Ziqing’s heart. Tears started flowing down. She was soon sobbing as she nodded her head. “Alright. Alright. I’ll bring that girl here. Wait for me!”

Regardless of whatever attitude that woman carried, wasn’t it enough that her son liked her? Even if that woman wasn’t willing to remain with Ou Ming, her son should be strong enough to withstand it.

If anything were to happen to Ou Ming because of them, no amount of regret would make up for their loss. Xian’er ending could not be allowed to replay in Ou Ming’s situation. That tragedy could never be repeated.

Back then, she was Xian’er’s good friend. Now, she was Ou Ming’s mother. It was so painful losing her good friend. Losing a son would be even worse.

So be it! So be it!

What if she’d been wrong about that woman? Still weeping, Jiao Ziqing picked her cell phone up and revisited her previous day’s call log.

After Ou Ming had made that phone call the previous day, Jiao Ziqing had saved the number in her phone. She made the call but was notified that the recipient’s phone was turned off.

Turned off at this hour?

Ou Huojin walked over from behind and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Her phone is switched off. What shall we do?” Jiao Ziqing’s panic brought forth more tears. She started wailing, “Lao Ou, has that girl already found out about Ou Ming’s situation and is now keeping her phone switched off so that we won’t be able to find her?”

Ou Huojin stretched his arm out to hug her. “Don’t speculate. I don’t think it’s as bad you imagine it to be. Do you know where she lives? I’ll go and check it out.”

“I do!” Jiao Ziqing searched for the address that her secretary had sent her. “Here it is.”

“Send it to me. I’ll go look for her,” Ou Huojin said.

“OK!” Jiao Ziqing sent the address to Ou Huojin.

She looked at him as he fished out his car keys. She still felt a little hesitant. The two times that she had met with that woman were both extremely unpleasant. What if she refused to come? Or, what if she had run away? What was she to do then?

Jiao Ziqing suddenly felt very uneasy. She tugged the corner of her husband’s garment. “Lao Ou, she’s probably already found out about our son’s illness from the nurses. Would she already have left? What if we can’t find her?”

Ou Huojin felt a little helpless himself as he answered, “Don’t speculate. I don’t think that child would do something like that.”
