Capítulo 2008: An unhealthy habit

Tears poured down Shen Manting's cheeks as soon as she stepped out of the house.

Shen Luo'an's every word pierced her heart like a blade.

She had to admit that she had abandoned her child.

She had the heart to leave her baby behind in her bid to escape the clutches of Shen Luo'an.

Meanwhile, Shen Luo'an had evidently cared well for the infant.

He looked healthy and well-fed. If she had kept him by her side, he might not have turned out as well as he did now.

She had to fend for herself and survive.

Hence, she had to work hard and earn a living for herself first.

Shen Manting's resolve was swayed when Shen Luo'an asked her to stay and take care of the infant.

But she instinctively rejected him, as though out of habit.

Back then, she would have convinced herself that she behaved so because she feared Shen Luo'an's cruel ways.
