"Alright."
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and went to the kitchen to prepare a simple lunch, which he ate with Liu Mingxing.
The dining room was very quiet as the two of them silently ate lunch. After they finished eating, Liu Mingxing softly said, "I'm sorry."
Liu Yi paused in his eating.
"I might not be able to stay with you until the end. I'm really sorry." Her voice choked with emotion, "Am I being too selfish? But I'm really exhausted, Xiaoyi, I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Liu Yi said softly, "I'll take good care of myself. See, even if you're not home, I can take care of myself very well. So it's alright, don't worry about me."
He gently bit his lip until he tasted the metallic taste of blood.
Even if it pained him, he had to let her go.
"I've grown up, Mommy." He whispered, "Even alone, I can carry on. Rest assured."
She was already so shattered, how could he force her to stay?
He should have known earlier that his mommy was destroyed from five years ago.
By that man.
