"I guess he still blames me for what happened." Grandma Zhu let out a deep exhale, staring at the door where Silas left. "I thought once he grew up, he would understand why I did what I did in the past. But surely, I was wrong."
"You did what you thought was right at that time."
"And I regret it." She slowly closed her eyes, turning her head to the coffee table. "Butler Fu, the longer I live, the more I realize I made a lot of bad decisions than good ones. Since the incident, I keep thinking what would happen if I killed my son back then?"
