Chapter 331

The final outcome was that her father was with the young woman as he had wished, but he was also forced to serve the enemy nation. Her father claimed that the woman who had truly loved him was still waiting for his return in a country across the sea. At the time, He Lili had asked him what that made her mother. Her father had looked into her eyes and replied, "Your mother and I only acted as husband and wife to carry out our mission. But as time passed, we both knew there was no hope of returning, and we needed to maintain our cover, which led to the three of you. However, in my heart, I have only ever had one wife, and your mother had someone else in her heart as well." It was then that He Lili realized that in the face of certain things, personal emotions, love, and hate were worth nothing. She finally understood why her father had been so ruthless, pushing her from a young age onto a path destined for the abyss. It was because he had always been living in that very abyss himself.
