Having settled her thoughts, Mrs. Mu felt at peace. She closed her eyes and never woke up again.
Having lost his mother and unable to see the one he loved, Mu Hongwen was tormented both physically and emotionally. So, he threw himself into his work, using it as an extreme way to numb himself!
Days passed like this, month after month. Mu Hongwen never found the opportunity to see Lu Yinglan, not even during her due date, which he only heard about from Song Jialing.
Originally, Mu Hongwen had asked Song Jialing to help take care of Lu Yinglan. However, Mr. Mu was worried that Song Jialing, being soft-hearted, might secretly help him. So, later she too was restricted. Besides the servants in the villa, only Su Aiping was allowed to come and go freely from the suburban villa.
