Shui Xian didn't know what he could say to that. "It seems my wife had a habit of making people speechless even at that age." He really didn't know whether to say that she was very mature even at that age or find it very sad that she matured too early. Someone at that age should be enjoying the beauty of childhood, not living the cruelty of life.
"She had never been like other kids her age," said Shui Koshing. "Her brain development had been exceptional. And even though she can't differentiate between emotions, she is certainly very good at handling it all."
Shui Xian's finger was tracing the seam of the cup placed before him as he stared ahead absentmindedly. With a lot of things running through his mind, he wasn't sure about what to say. "Bà, what about her parents? Did they never tried to meet her either?"
"Uncle Yu would never let them come near her," said Shui Koshing.
