282 A son’s misery

Frustration and confusion surged through Leng Shao. Why was everyone crying? It's like he is the only one being kept in the dark and he hated that feeling.

"I'm sorry son." His mother's pained voice snapped him out of his stupor. He knitted his brows together and caressed her cheeks.

"Mom, why are you apologizing? Tell me what is wrong. Did Mr. Lei hurt you?"

Leng Shao demanded as irritation surged inside him. 

"Nono…"Mrs Leng shook her aggressively.

"I-I..."

"What! Why are you so scared to talk to me? You can't even look at me in the eyes."

"I-I can't." Her voice cracked and she shook her head.

"What do you mean, you can't?" Leng Shao asked.

"I can't tell you." She whispered as tears fell out of her eyes.

"Mom-" Mrs. Leng shook her head and looked at her hands without answering.

"Damn it mom!" He yelled.
