Chapter 277

Ruan Jiaohao was taken aback and glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao, but he quickly turned his head away. Ruan Jiaojiao looked out into the deepening darkness of the night and continued, "Mother must have known how much you all loved her. So, Uncle, please don't blame yourself or live with this guilt anymore." It was as if Ruan Jiaohao’s innermost thoughts had been laid bare; his eyes turned red, and he pressed his lips together, remaining silent. He had always believed that it was his fault—that if he had found his younger sister sooner, none of this would have happened. Yet, some things cannot be undone no matter how much one regrets them. He often visited the cemetery to talk to her, hoping to alleviate some of his remorse. Having his inner thoughts perceived by Ruan Jiaojiao, he felt a sudden, unexpected sense of grievance.
