"But you are Mom's only daughter! Mom even thought you were dead at the time," Mother Xia's voice choked up, "You have no idea how Mom got through that time, Ningning, tell Mom, who exactly abducted you!"
Xia Ning didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
"Ningning, do you know how it feels for parents to bury their child? Mom was arranging your funeral! And Yanxi, you have no idea how upset he was..."
"Don't mention him!" Xia Ning interrupted her mother abruptly, her chest heaving violently and, realizing she had been too harsh, she tried to soften her tone, "Mom, Meng Yanxi and I are already divorced. What's the point of bringing him up?"
"Do you think I want to mention him?" Mother Xia was equally emotional, "Ningning, in this world, there are only so few people who truly care for you with all their heart. You refused to remarry Yanxi and ran away overseas to avoid him—have you ever thought how heartbroken he must be?"
