Chapter 440

Duan Jingxing froze. Du Anrao’s words were, in effect, a clear revelation that his late, close friend had suffered an unforgivable betrayal. He didn’t consider it a betrayal because he held feudal views or believed a widow should remain chaste and unmarried forever. It was because when he had first reconnected with the mother and child, the birth date provided for the girl was roughly six months after his friend had passed away. Out of caution, he had sent people to investigate the hospital mentioned; the records pulled matched her claims. Naturally, Duan Jingxing had assumed the woman’s child was indeed his friend’s flesh and blood. But now, hearing Du Anrao’s account—and ruling out the possibility that someone inside the hospital had tampered with the records for her—it meant the woman had been cheating on his friend while he was still alive!
