By the time Song Chongjin was almost one year old, there was still no news from the Noble Patron. Song Chunhua was anxious, fearing that the Noble Patron had forgotten about her and her child.
She inquired in many places, and while she knew nothing of the Noble Patron's whereabouts, she was able to glean some information about the initial family she had served.
In the beginning, the family had relayed messages, asking her to patiently wait a little longer, promising to come for her after some time.
But she waited and waited, until Song Chongjin could walk and speak, and still, no one came to fetch them.
When she inquired about the family again, there was no news whatsoever.
Song Chunhua realized that there was no hope left. Members of the Song Family also started to nag at her, pointing out her predicament, the Noble Patron was no longer to be relied upon, and she was left with such a burden.
