Gazing at the twinkling lights of Dubai, vivid memories kept flooding his mind. Memories of a time when his parents doted on him. Even though he was a secret son, when he was young, even on New Year's Eve like today, his father would abandon his wife to celebrate with him and his mother.
He couldn't fully remember the warmth from those times, but the feelings were deeply engraved in his heart. Even with age, they never faded. This was why he had endured He Ziteng's cruelty. He held onto his yearning for that illusory motherly love, which now seemed to be unattainable-only a laughingstock.
A wave of complex emotions washed over him.

A bitter, self-mocking smile danced on his lips.
