Qiao An: "Sister Wanzhao, my Uncle Jin is truly pathetic. Since the Jin Family crisis, he has been entirely alone. If I hadn't stayed by his side all these years, he would be living like a walking corpse."
Qiao An had been very young when she first met Jin Qingzhou. Both of them had suffered the total destruction of their families, making them each other’s sole support. The housekeeper once remarked that in the years following the tragedy, Jin Qingzhou had lived like a hollow, silent puppet. It was only because Qiao An’s needs occupied his mind and distracted him from his grief that he had managed to muster even a faint trace of a smile.
Qiao An: "I know it might sound awful, but... Sister Wanzhao, only if you give him the child will he be able to truly live."
