The Locket

Mu Heng opened the door of the ward and went in. The woman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Mu Heng looked at the nurse. 

"She was awake ... a while ..ago."  the nurse stammered.  She was afraid of this powerful master of the Mu Family.

Mu Heng sat on the couch and closed his eyes.  He was disappointed.  He thought that he will finally be able to speak to her.  He suddenly remembered what transpired two weeks ago.

Mu Heng spent that weekend on the island.  He bought a small island for his eldest daughter that he never got a chance to see.  He named the island Xianmin which was the name he gave his daughter.  That Sunday will be her fortieth birthday.  He started coming to this island since ten years ago to atone for his sins to his child and her mother.

If only he had looked for that woman earlier, then maybe he could have seen his daughter.  But the past was past and what happened cannot be undone.
