“Mother!” Ou Xueman laughed bitterly. “You have a mother, but doesn’t Owen have a mother? His was killed in Di Ying’s conspiracy.”
Di Xi Huang trembled, shocked she knew about Owen’s involvement, which he had just learned.
Leaning on the railing, Ou Xueman’s smile was desolate. “What? Surprised? Betrayed by someone you’ve always trusted? Aren’t you angry?”
Di Xi Huang’s heart broke at her smile. He wanted to embrace her, but she harshly slapped away his hand. Although Owen’s betrayal shocked him, he felt no resentment, believing there must be a reason for his actions.
What pained him most now was her rejection, and the hard-won intimacy between them had vanished in an instant.
“Xuanxuan.”
“Don’t call me,” she stepped back, forcing herself to distance from him, resisting until she lost consciousness, still rejecting his embrace.
——I——am——a——dividing——line——
When she awoke, she saw the haggard Tong Yifeng, who tightly held her hand, his sunken eyes filled with the joy of finding her again.
Only then did she realize how selfish she’d been, disregarding those who cared for her and foolishly falling into a trap.
“Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, oh my God, where have you been? Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you? I was so worried,” Tong Yifeng said while kissing her hand.
“I’m sorry, brother, I’m sorry.” She could think of nothing else to say.
Seeing the intent gaze from Tong Yifeng, she begged, “Brother, take me away…”
“Okay, we’ll go.” Though he didn’t understand her urgency, he wanted her safe.
“Serena is pregnant.”
Grace’s exclamation stunned them both.
I’m pregnant? Ou Xueman unconsciously reached to touch her abdomen, wanting to feel the tiny life.
“What nonsense are you talking about?
Tong Yifeng reacted first, roaring at Grace.
“This is the doctor’s diagnosis report,” Grace timidly handed over the report.
Tong Yifeng examined it carefully, finally crumpling it in disbelief. He grabbed Ou Xueman’s shoulders and shook her. “No, no, you won’t. Don’t be afraid, Xuanxuan. We’ll get rid of it; you won’t have this shameful memory.” He thought she had been humiliated during her disappearance.
“No!” Di Xihuang shouted. “We can’t do that. The child is innocent and healthy.”
