Be My Strength
/ Be My Strength Chapter 327
While she stirred the milk into her cup of tea, Kai Xin said, "Mum, one more thing…"
"Yeah…"
She exchanged glances with DX . He knew that she wanted to be alone with her mother and nodded . Before he left, he placed a kiss on her forehead and murmured, "I love you…I'll just be right outside . "
Kai Xin waited for him to leave the room before turning back to her mother . With a nervous tone, she stuttered, "I . . . I aborted a child before…"
"What?" gasped An Qi Yan . She had just wiped off her tears from before when Kai Xin told her the news and her eyes soon welled up again . Placing a hand over her heart, she wondered how many more secrets that her daughter was holding back from her .
Afraid to meet her mother's eyes, Kai Xin kept her eyes on her cup of tea as she continued, "I got pregnant because of that . . . I didn't know it until after I transferred school…"
An Qi Yan gulped and she shook her head furiously . She wanted this to be a nightmare . A horrible and terrible nightmare, but one that she could wake up from . Many a time, she tried to speak as she stared at her daughter but the voice was lodged in the back of her throat as if something was keeping it back .
After a few moments, as she hit her aching heart to keep it beating, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you do everything by yourself? Why can't you tell me?"
Kai Xin smiled wryly but her heart was filled with sorrow . She caressed her belly and prayed that the baby did not hear her words .
The decision that she made back then was made with a child's mind . A child who wanted to protect her family from breaking further . Not that she would do it differently but sometimes, she would wonder if her mother would have had a different reaction if she told her about it back then .
With a deep sigh, she replied, "I wasn't by myself . Jane . . . She was there with me . She didn't know the whole story, but she was there with me . . . So yeah, I wasn't alone…"
She then told her mother the whole story including how Jane's relationship with Mo Shaoyun was affected because of her secret .
"Poor Jane…" murmured An Qi Yan . She had always known that Jane was a good girl despite her mistakes in high school . However, she did not realize the extent that Jane would go for her best friend .
Kai Xin agreed, "She got pulled into my mess, but she never blamed me . "
She pulled her daughter into a hug and whispered, "My poor child…I've failed you! I've thoroughly failed you!"
"No, you didn't . I don't want you to blame yourself," said Kai Xin .
"Did XiAn knows about it?" asked An Qi Yan with a worried tone . Even though she knew that Kai Xin was not at fault here, there were some men who would find it unacceptable .
Kai Xin nodded against her mother's shoulder, "He knew . He said that it changes nothing . . . "
An Qi Yan exhaled a sigh of relief . She was glad that Kai Xin managed to find such a great and understanding man .
As Kai Xin hugged her mother back, An Qi Yan rubbed her back as she kept repeating, "My baby! My baby! How could God give you such a tough life!"
Kai Xin hugged her mother tightly . Now that she was about to be a mother, she did not know what to say to comfort her own mother . All she knew was that she was going to protect her daughter no matter what .
There should be no rumors surrounding her daughter's birth . Even if DX did not care, she cared . She wanted her daughter to be born in a world that would readily accept her and not one that would taint her in any manner .
As the mother and daughter duo hugged each other tightly, Kai Xin murmured, "I'm going to go all out . Once the right time arrives, I'd let everyone knows the truth about those bastards . One way or another, I want them to be punished . "
