The woman’s pretty face seemed rather ghastly white as she stared at the good-looking man sitting across from him. “I don’t want to explain myself. I don’t have any ulterior motives for giving the child to your family.”

She hung her head low as she squeezed the cup with her hand. She began to lightly stir the coffee.

“Why?”

The man asked had asked her. She then raised her head to glance at him.

The man’s malicious-looking eyes made her shudder a little, and she slightly s.h.i.+fted her eyes.

She was nervous.

Ming Ansheng narrowed his eyes to carefully scrutinize her. “Why didn’t you tell me after all these years.”

“Ansheng, I thought I could bring him up by myself,” answered Meiduo in a soft tone of voice.

She placed the cup down before placing her hands on the table. Then she looked at Ming Ansheng.

Her eyes didn’t s.h.i.+ft guiltily this time round.

Ming Ansheng frowned. “What do you mean?”

Meiduo replied, “I cannot take care of him now.”

Her voice and tone sounded a little pitiful, and it softened Ming Ansheng’s heart.

“Meiduo,” called Ming Ansheng softly as he surveyed her pale face.

She was obviously unwell.

Meiduo managed a feeble smile. “When I was 21 that year, the doctor said I wouldn’t make it past 25. But now I’m already 26…”

“However…” She bowed her head and paused. She pressed on slowly. “But I don’t think I can make it this time around.”

When she raised her head, her eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. She sobbed as she said to Ming Ansheng, “Ansheng, we are close friends. Can you help me take care of Beibei? I will leave immediately.”

Ming Ansheng was dumbfounded and he couldn’t come up with a reaction for a long time.

Meiduo’s words echoed in his mind once more.

‘When I was 21 that year, the doctor said I wouldn’t make it past 25. But now I’m already 26…’

They split up when they were 21!

Was this the actual reason she broke up with him?

They had been cordial to each other like old friends for these years. And she had expressed no desire of getting back with him.

He had never doubted Meiduo’s character.

So when the child appeared before him and addressed him as his daddy, he refused to accept the truth. But he didn’t doubt her at all.

It’s not because the child looked like Meiduo. Rather, it was because he didn’t want to suspect Meiduo at all.

Ming Ansheng blankly stared at Meiduo. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Meiduo quipped, “Ansheng, I didn’t break up with you because I was sick. I just felt that we came from two different worlds. I have my own dreams and I didn’t want to be confined for the rest of my life and to lead the life that isn’t what I like.”

“As for Beibei…” She bowed her head and paused.

Ming Ansheng noticed that Meiduo had clenched her hand tightly.

Suspicion streaked across his eyes but he waited patiently for Meiduo to finish talking.

Meiduo adjusted her emotions accordingly and softly spoke, “Beibei was an accident. I realized I was pregnant after I got to Country M.”

Her hair cascaded past her shoulders and hid her face from view.

Ming Ansheng pressed his lips and watched her quietly.

“Ansheng, he is well-behaved and obedient. He… is the only person I have left in the world and I’m worried about him.” Meiduo raised her head and pleaded, “You know I don’t have any family and I can’t bear to send Beibei to the orphanage.”

She looked distraught, just like how a mother would be, at the thought of giving her child up
