Lan Jingyi has no answer for Mark's accusation and she didn't appear to be interested to defend herself too.
In the end, after a long silence, she rose to his feet and said, "I understand that you won't trust me no matter what kind of reason I give you. But, I will have to say these words whether you believe them or not, Shang Zen. It is true that I acted as a civilian and I ignored his actions as I was afraid of ruining my marriage.
However, I didn't abandon you. Rather, it is the opposite. If I didn't keep you away from me to change your fate, you would have passed away on your 25th birthday. I truly regretted it when I heard you were dead along with your parents.
I can't do anything about it but what I can do now is to tell you the complete truth when you are ready to hear it.
Before I leave, I assure you that your secret will be safe with me. But, I will not give up on searching for my daughter too."
She turned around and started walking away.
