Shen Manting felt a jab in her heart. She glanced at the infant, who was lying quietly in the crib, fast asleep.

Shen Manting felt an inexplicable ache in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes and almost trickled down her face.

"Don't leave. Please, don't leave..."

Shen Manting raised her arm and held him gently. "Go to sleep now," she said softly.

"Don't leave us..."

Shen Luo'an seemed highly intoxicated. He tugged at her clothes, murmuring unintelligibly.

He simply repeated the same words over and over again.

"Let me go."

"Don't go..."

"Shen Luo'an."
