After Tan Heqian said this, he fell silent. Clearly, this clue led to a dead end. It was impossible to find Lan Lin's mother who had moved overseas, and Lan Lin's father who might still be in the country had already perished.
Yet, there was one thing Tan Heqian dared not mention to He Zhilan. Concerning Lan Lin's mother, there had been conjectures that she was unlikely to be alive because her health had deteriorated severely after Lan Lin's death. It's been so many years, with first losing her son, then her husband, it would be unbearable for any woman.
Although Lan Lin's mother had divorced Lan Lin's father before she went abroad, they didn't divorce because they didn't love each other. On the contrary, they divorced because their love was so deep that she couldn't accept the fact that her husband indirectly caused the death of their son. Hence, the death of Lan Lin's father was also a blow to Lan Lin's mother.
