Lady Liu stared dazedly as Liu Yuchen's silhouette gradually went away. She felt a sudden emptiness in her heart as if something important was about to leave her.
She panicked and quickly chased after him but ended up falling down from running too fast. When she lifted her head, her aged face was covered in tear stains. Her voice was hoarse and shaking as she called out, "Yuchen, don't leave your mother. I only have you now, please don't go…"
Liu Yuchen froze. He stopped in his tracks but only for a brief moment before he continued on without any care.
He knew that as long as he stayed in this house, his mother would not give up on her thoughts.
The Liu family today was already full of wounds, unable to take another blow. Only with his departure that peace could finally return to this family.
Hence, he had to stop being soft-hearted, and he had to carry on!
