Looking at his mother, who broke down and cried hysterically upon hearing his question, Huo Sichen's heart turned ice-cold.
He truly had not expected her to be this selfish.
"Do you even understand what you've done?"
The middle-aged woman sobbed uncontrollably, covering her mouth as despair filled her expression.
Yet deep inside, she hoped for forgiveness and understanding.
"Asi… Asi… I know, I know I was selfish, but I had no choice… At the time, with the Luo Family's situation, if I hadn't married into the Zongzheng Family, the Luo Family would have been doomed…"
"I felt guilt, regret—so much regret. I never dared to hope for love with your father. After I gave birth to you, I left the Zongzheng Residence immediately… I only wanted to repent…"
Her sobbing came in broken gasps, desperate to evoke her son's sympathy.
She wanted him to help hide this secret and not tell anyone.
Huo Sichen pressed his thin lips together coldly, his gaze icy.
He could not keep this a secret.
