"Wife," Lin Mubai wanted to say something comforting, but was gently interrupted by the other person's shake of the head: "There's no need to say anything, I'm fine. It's just that now that I'm a mother, I can better understand the difficulties my parents faced back then. I can understand the heartbreak my mom felt when she sent me away. She must have been very sad at the time, sending her only daughter to the United States. I can hardly imagine her state of mind now, but I know that she must have been reluctant, yet had no better option."
The people around her were once again touched by her somber tone, and everyone's mood turned a bit heavy.
Lin Mubai said nothing further, only using his strong arms to tightly hold the two most important women in his life, trying to warm their cold hearts with the warmth of his body.
An Nan's temper has always been quick to come and quick to go. She never takes too much to heart, as we often say, she's carefree.
