Xun Lu ignored his silence and continued, "After he went to jail, I kept watch for him for so many years, wasting my youth on him. I've grown old, and my body has broken down. I don't blame him for not wanting me, love can't be forced. All I wanted was to keep this child... Now that the child is gone, my life won't be extended, and after I die, there won't even be proof that I existed. When I think about it, it's truly sad. What are we, people like us, even living for?"
Fu Yichen moved his lips and managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Don't think too much, you didn't used to be so extreme in your thoughts."
Xun Lu closed her eyes and said nothing, but the tears never stopped.
Fu Yichen let out a suppressed sigh, "Everyone deserves to live well, no one's absence should change anything, at worst we start over."
