Worthless Life

"Wai, what made you come to me tonight?" asked Song Xin'ai. "You are not the kind of person who would look for her mother whenever things go wrong. So, what made you come to my door?

Xiang Wai bit her lips and looked into her mother's clear eyes. Everyone said Raelle resembled Song Xin'ai the most and currently, Xiang Wai had a different opinion. Maybe there was a similarity between Raelle and Song Xin'ai but the differences between them were too obvious as well.

Raelle's eyes still carried the light of the world but Song Xin'ai's eyes had lost the glimmer. It had been worn down by the life she lived. 

"Mom," she called out in a small voice.

"Hm?"

"If... I mean, if Raelle hadn't been kidnapped back then, do you think things would have been different for our family?"
