Madame Gu felt tears gathering in her eyes as she grappled with the weight of her circumstances. Regret washed over her as she reflected on her choices, wishing she hadn't succumbed to the temptation to flee from her responsibilities as a wife and mother.
In the midst of her despair, the sound of the cell opening startled her, and she instinctively assumed it was Gu Hua returning. "Gu Hua, you came back," she uttered, hoping for some solace in her son's presence. But to her surprise, it was Li Yanyan who stood before her.
Her eyes meeting Li Yanyan's, Madame Gu's expression hardened with accusation. "It's you... you did all this," she accused, the bitterness evident in her voice. She blamed Li Yanyan for the chaos that had befallen her family.
Li Yanyan's response was sharp and unforgiving. "Just like you destroyed mine when you killed my husband," she retorted, her words laced with pain and anger.
