CHAPTER 211
Li Jing had hit a soft spot in Mr Lin's heart and she could feel it as she saw the pain flash before his eyes.
It was obvious she touched a forbidden topic. Whatever had made her mother who had everything to run away was definitely something big and not supposed to be touched or brought out.
She could see that he was struggling with himself and was obviously not yet ready to speak about that topic. Regardless, he braced himself and was ready to tell her when she beat him to it. "I am sorry. You do not have to tell me if it is hard and painful for you. I can wait for when you are ready."
A pained smile formed on his lips as he looked at Li Jing. "Thank you."
"Anytime. Just know that I am here for you and I am not going anywhere."
"I hope so. I hope so."
