The following day, in the imperial palace------------
The emperor woke up and was surprised to see the young prince sleeping so close to him. A slight grin appeared on his face as he watched his son sleep.
( My son and I are getting closer with each passing day. This feels like heaven. I've been so stupid all these years. I shouldn't have drifted from him. I was wrong; I realize it now).
…
( Mei, you left me a treasure, the most precious one in the world. I'll give him all my love, so he'll never feel like an orphan again. I have a reason to continue living. From now on, I'll live for the sake of our son's happiness and wellbeing. I won't disappoint you this time).
The emperor kept watching his son's sleeping face. The young prince moved, signaling he was just about to wake up.
After making a yawn, he opened his eyes to the emperor watching him happily.
