Back in the hospital room, she spoke with Wang Shulan.
She brought up her past feelings for Han Ling, "Mom, I wasn't wrong to do this, was I?"
Wang Shulan's eyes blinked softly, and her mouth opened slightly.
Qiao Zhiyi understood, what she meant was "No mistake."
Qiao Zhiyi smiled.
"My marriage to Shi Jingzhou wasn't based on emotions; it could be said it happened due to a twist of fate. Because of this twist of fate, I've had the chance to talk with you here. I should be grateful to him, right?"
Wang Shulan's eyes filled with pity.
She knew her daughter had married a man she didn't love, all for her sake.
"Mom, I've realized. Shi Jingzhou said he wouldn't divorce, that he would treat us well. Such men are rare in society today."
