Remorse (2)
Meanwhile, the same couldn't be said for Mu Jianyu who was devastated after learning the truth about his wife's sudden passing. His chest tightening at the thought that he'd lost her because of his foolishness and betrayal.
"Ying, what have I done?" He choked out.
Not only did he lose his wife from that incident, he had also lost the unborn child Li Xiuying was carrying at the time. How foolish. He was so busy fawning over a child that wasn't his and had cast his own flesh and blood away because of another woman.
Guilt crushed into him, wave after wave, enough to drown him in it and he deeply regretted what he'd done to his own wife. Had he known this would be the outcome of his betrayal, he wouldn't have chosen Lin Meirong over Ying. He would have focused his attention on his wife and nothing else.
Mu Jingyi, his adopted daughter, was already asleep in her own room, oblivious to what was happening at this moment.
