Ning Xiaofei raised her right hand, her tone somber.
"I promise, from now on, every word I say is true."
Mu Tianye slowly loosened his fingers.
"Speak!"
Taking a deep breath and steadying her respiration, Ning Xiaofei began to speak slowly.
"I bought this bottle of medicine a long time ago and have been taking it because I wasn't sure how long we could be together. That way, it would be irresponsible toward a child. I don't want that child to repeat my own history, becoming a kid with only a mother and no father." As she spoke, memories of her own childhood surfaced, and her voice became choked with emotion, "Such a childhood is too bitter. I cannot be that irresponsible."
Mu Tianye's brows furrowed deeply, but he remained silent.
Back then, when his mother remarried, it had also been a huge blow to him as a child.
He could understand her feelings.
But at this point, did she still lack confidence in him?
