Hyson looked at him incredulously.
"Don't you love your mum the most in this world?" asked Mu Chenyan.
"I do," answered Hyson.
"Don't you say that we are a family to you? Me, Raelle, and even Elder Xiang?"
"I don't just say it. You guys are the only family I have," said Hyson. "And no one can change that."
"But just imagine, something unexpected happens. And circumstances force you to take a step back from us. Whether it's Raelle or even your mother." Mu Chenyan spoke patiently with him, trying to make him understand. "Do you think the distance between us would be enough to make the love you have for us become any lesser?"
