The Nerd Under The Quilt
That loud resounding slap wasn't the end of it. His mother's sanity had unravelled as all her sadness spilt over. She clutched her chest with tears rolling down her eyes. "I am weak and useless..... wuwuwuwu..... your mother failed to protect you and lost everything I worked for. They have abandoned you and threw you out... it's all my fault. Blame, blame me for being weak wuwuwu..... How am I supposed to protect you if they find out about this? I am sorry, I am so sorry I have failed you. Mummy is sorry," she said as her body collapsed on the floor.
Qie Ranzhe reached over to embrace her while wiping her tears. He had witnessed with his own eyes the torment his mother suffered over the years but he himself was useless and could only comfort her hoping things would get better. His parent's relationship was toxic from the start but she loved him.
