Whenever she spoke to him, she was always smiling.
Her eyes were like stars, beautiful and gentle.
Initially, when he returned to the orphanage from the hospital, nightmares would consume him, haunting him all night long.
She would hold him in her arms, patting him over and over, comforting him repeatedly, singing lullabies and telling him stories.
At that time, he thought, how could anyone in this world be so gentle?
He felt as if he could stay in that embrace for a lifetime, never leaving it.
Later on, as they grew closer, he asked her to promise again and again to never leave him, to never abandon him.
Although he was the heir to the Chu family, those were not what he wanted.
He didn't want anything, he just wanted her!
He nearly made her say every day that she would never leave him, that she would never abandon him.
But in the end, she still abandoned him.
For a mere twenty thousand yuan.
Just for that small amount of money, she sold him!
