Cheng Nan looked at her mother as she took a step back in terror, her face horribly pale.
She was unable to believe it. Her mother has just admitted to killing both her father and grandfather.
"What did you just say, Mom?" They both heard a voice and turned to see who was speaking; it was Cheng Jixuan, the only male in the house.
"I asked a question; what did you just say, Mom? Did you kill your father and grandfather? "Are you accountable for their deaths?" He rushed to her, questioning her and shaking her at the same time.
She swatted his hands away from her while keeping her eyes closed. She never wanted her children to find out, but they did. No amount of apologies could compensate for the losses she had caused them.
"I am sorry," she said with her eyes closed. Cheng Jixuan's shoulders slumped, and his posture deflated as if air was seeping out of him.
