Those few short sentences seemed to drain all of Su's mother's strength. After she finished, the expression on her face grew even more sorrowful.
It was as if the weight of her own words was suffocating her, making them almost too much to bear.
Su Ermei's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her parents. Her father's expression was livid.
