Lin Yueru was restless after the banquet. She placed the violin from her leather case onto the display cabinet in her room, staring at it for hours. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her own daughter, who suddenly felt like a stranger to her.
Three years ago, Ling Lu had been nothing more than a prospective college student. How had she managed to convince Gasparo to build a violin for her? The Ling Family was considered elite in Jiangcheng, but they had no influence abroad. How had Ling Lu pulled it off?
Moments later, Lin Yueru mused distractedly that she had perhaps failed as a mother. She had never paid any attention or shown any concern for Ling Lu, which was why she knew nothing about her. Yet, despite her being such an inadequate mother, Ling Lu still loved her. She was grateful for the life Lin Yueru had given her and ached for the suffering Lin Yueru had endured to bring her into this world. On the day of her birth, Ling Lu’s only wish had been for her dear mother to live a life free of sorrow, blessed with longevity.
