Nana dashed outside Liu villa to get a breath of fresh air. Her chest heaved up and down breathlessly. She looked back and pursed her lips.
I am sorry…I am so sorry but I cannot…
She sat on the bench, huddling herself in a corner. No matter even in Jian and Nian were safe now, the image of them being taken away just refused to let her live in peace. That horrible scene endlessly played in her mind like a broken tape recorder.
Nana's eyes rimmed in tears.
I wasn't careful enough…I couldn't protect them again. First, Tang Ning was so close to taking their life that night, and then a man almost kidnapped them. But both of the times, I couldn't do anything to save them. I am so useless…I am their mother. I am supposed to protect them, but I failed every time.
*Plop*
A tear fell on her knuckles.
I don't deserve to be called their mother. It's better if I stay away from them.
She sniffled.
