That night, the Luos carried their only grandchild out of the home of the Shengs, to pave the path for her to be nurtured in a healthy home. Needless to say, neither of her paternal grandparents showed up when her brother fell sick and also on the day he died.

Sheng Jinzhe picked up the phone to dial his mother at around twelve in the morning. The phone rang thrice before it was finally picked up.

"Hel...Hello..."

"Mom! It's me!"

The high pitched voice on the other end of the line, made Sheng Ying sit up in bed, the tiny cobwebs of sleep cleared out of her eyes in an instant.

"Zhe, what is the matter? Why are you calling so early in the morning?!"

"Yu's parents came here last night to take Liena with them."

"And you are just telling me now?! Why didn't you call either me or your dad when they came?"

"Mom! Listen to me! They have full custody of Liena!"

"What do you mean that they got full custody of my grandchild?! You are not making any sense Zhe!"
