REMEMBER WHERE WE ARE

"Will you come with me?" Hu Lei faced her father with a pleading desperation in her eyes.

She had been forming a plan for escape for a while now. But she did not have the heart to leave her father behind. Even though she had told him that she would break ties, she could not just eliminate him from her life and heart. He was her father. He had done something despicable, but she knew she would forgive him. She would always forgive him.

Hu Ming did not respond. He had been postponing his decision since she had first approached him.

"I know that it is a huge risk, but we cannot stay here forever. You can continue your research elsewhere. You do not owe anything to these people." She hardened her voice.
