*Flashback Continued*
The ringtone didn't belong to Chen Xiu's phone. It was the landline that was ringing incessantly. She who had been watching the grey blanket of wool enshrouding the sky slowly stepped back and pressed the button to attend the call.
However, she didn't speak but the person on the other end also didn't speak. There was a long silence and it stretched out for far too long. If it was a normal person he'd hang up by now but neither of the sides intended on doing it. Oddly, one could feel a strange atmosphere.
Chen Xiu sat down at the edge of her soft bed as she finally heaved a sigh and said, "Do you really think you can reverse the damage you have done?"
"Xiu~" A very soft cry was heard from the other side.
Chen Xiu shook her head as she spoke desolately, "Please, don't say my name. I've always loved my name. You're just making me hate it now."
"I didn't know you're my daughter," the woman said.
