Filled with guilt, Zhan Se just couldn't remember.
However, she guessed that the reason the Young Emperor wouldn't speak of it must be that what she had done was excessive. He didn't want to expose it again, just as with the fact of their breakup. Otherwise, with ZMI's capabilities, how could he possibly fail to investigate?
At this thought, looking at the obedient Little Thirteen, Zhan Se truly dared not imagine, just how cruel she had been at the time, to have been able to abandon her child?
Guilt, heartache, shame...
All kinds of emotions nearly burst out the moment she saw Thirteen.
A strong desire to make amends made her arms, hugging Thirteen, tighten more and more.
"Thirteen..."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Thirteen looked at her, bewildered.
Holding her son who was once lost but now found again, Zhan Se couldn't put that feeling into words; she only knew she needed to breathe deeply to ease the pounding of her heart, which felt like it might burst out of her throat.
