From now on, I'll take care of you...
Even though it was a very heartwarming sentence, it made Xia Shi feel deeply moved. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, nodded, leaned in to hug Bi Xia, and remained silent.
Xia Shi felt she owed Bi Xia. To put it bluntly, Xia Shi believed she hadn't fulfilled the duties of a responsible mother towards Bi Xia.
From the day Bi Xia was born, she hadn't been a good mother. Deciding to let Bi Xia disguise herself as a boy was undoubtedly absurd.
As Bi Xia slowly grew up, during the time she needed Xia Shi the most, Xia Shi was immersed in the pain of Bi Qingyun's betrayal. By the time she regained her senses, Bi Xia had already grown up and started closing off. No matter how hard Xia Shi tried, she couldn't break through the heart that had been left utterly scarred by herself and the outside world.
