180 THE PROMISE, THE SECRET {V}

Zhaolin had found it had to believe, but then there was no other reason to explain how she had a child, as old as that. She had never been married.

He was distraught. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't hurting. His heart, was in shambles. His head refused to settle, his eyes wandered about.

How did it all spiral out of control.

Slowly his eyes focused on a very familiar figure, they were actually two of them.

Xueyan and Qingran. She was carrying the little girl that was grinning widely while she played with her.

Her mouth moved and Qingran clapped her hands together then spread them wild.

Zhaolin smiled unconsciously. They look so sweet.

His heart twisted in pain, like a screw was passing through his chest and deep into his heart.

Soon the mother and daughter pair disappeared from his sight into their apartment.
