"Mom, actually from the moment you rejected me back then, a deep-seated prejudice against you took root in my heart. I no longer naively believed you truly loved me as I once did. I always thought everything you did had a hidden agenda. Gradually, I realized I had become callous myself, becoming numb."
Hearing Zhang Yichen's words, Xia Jing shook her head and said to Zhang Yichen, "Child, I'm sorry, this is something I can never regret enough. Time has already passed. For so many years, I know it's my fault, and during the years I was abroad, you kept searching for me, always trying to send me the best food from home. I know you care about me as your mother, but child, the past cannot be undone. No one has the power to turn back time; once it's gone, it's gone forever. It never stops to wait for you. Those footsteps that stay in place, they represent time, not people. Even if it were a person, they couldn't wait a lifetime for you!"
