Otherwise, given how his mother had neglected his father for so many years, his father would have grown intolerable long ago and divorced her.
Their family would have fallen apart.
Xiao Yan nodded, "So that's how it is...I always thought...that my parents didn't like me, that's why they abandoned me..."
"How could that be?" Lu Di sighed, "When you went missing, mom fell deeply ill from her accumulated sorrow. She was seriously sick, and it was only because our family was well-off and could afford the best doctors and medicine to nourish her daily that we could pull mom back from the brink of death. You are the apple of her eye, her lifeblood; how could she possibly not like you?"
Xiao Yan nodded and gave him a smile, "That's good to hear."
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart right now, it was a mix of happiness and a sense of loss.
