Chu Xi felt devastated, tears streaming down her rosy cheeks, "Mommy..."
Her little hand wanted to grasp Rong Sheng's, stretching out only to timidly retract and rest at the side of the bed, afraid to make contact.
"From now on, you shall be your daddy's daughter. Remember, you must never mention to anyone that you have a mother."
Rong Sheng tucked her hand back under the blanket, watching as Chu Xi bit her lip and nodded through her tears.
She turned and left to the sound of Chu Xi's soft sobs.
From that moment on, she had no further ties to the father and daughter.
When she came out, Ah Hong was waiting outside, blocking Rong Sheng's way.
It wasn't to make things difficult, but to directly ask Rong Sheng, "The medicine you administered this time, will it impede the master's activities in the coming days? If it will, I must ask you to stay, as the master has ordered that he cannot be without the Miss's company."
Rong Sheng had to heal him before she could leave.
