Frustration gripped Yun Shishi. What on earth had she done? How old was Youyou? Why did he have to go through such cruelty?
"It's all my fault!" She buried her face in her hands, looking grief-stricken. "At the time, I should never have kept him with me for my own selfish reasons. I obviously was in no condition to give him a wonderful childhood. I should never have taken him back. It was all my selfishness and my fault!"
Alice's heart actually ached when she saw how distraught the other woman was. She had no children, but she could understand such feelings. She imagined that the Yun Shishi would have wanted to give him the best that the world had to offer. And yet the reality was… She did not have such ability!
Alice smiled helplessly. "Who says you haven't given him wonderful things?" she said faintly.
With tears in her eyes, Yun Shishi looked up at her in surprise.
