Bab 1430: Just A Failure

"If you wanna cry, I can lend you my shoulder," said Xiang Wai.

Song Xin'ai rubbed her temples with her eyes closed and her lips tilted up slightly, "Is crying gonna help?"

"Who knows? It might help."

Song Xin'ai shook her head, "No, it's not gonna help." She opened her eyes and looked at Xiang Wai. She took her hands into her own and said, "Thank you for coming here to tell me first. And I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"Maybe for being such a mother who had been blind all her life," answered Song Xin'ai in a self-deprecating tone. "I never had a good mother so I didn't know how to be a good mother to you either. Maybe I should have tried harder to learn but I didn't. I'm sorry that Mom's family was such a disappointment that you had to be separated from your dad and siblings for years. It was never my intention to hurt you, but I have hurt you enough."
