The small, timid voice made Yun Chunnuan freeze for a moment.
She even felt an impulse to not stop him anymore.
He no longer had a mother.
The mountain in his heart, even if once filled with hate, unyielding and towering, was gone forever.
He had no one to rely on, no mother to light a lantern for him always, silently giving her all.
She couldn't replace her, more so couldn't even attempt to...
In the cold night, the two stood in the corridor for a long time, so long that Yun Chunnuan sneezed, her small body trembling continuously.
Yelyu Lie suddenly snapped back to reality, pulling the small, delicate hand of Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, I'm sorry, I just..."
"No, it's just me thinking only about freeing mother, forgetting about how you feel. Husband, when the situation in Bianliao stabilizes more, how about we find time to visit mother?"
She had no blame for him, only heartache.
Her tone was as gentle as coaxing a child.
