Chapter 158: Past Events_1

The rain in the Capital made the ground exceptionally damp, laced with moisture in the air.

In a quiet mansion on the east side of the city, an elderly woman was coughing violently.

"Madam, are you alright?"

The housekeeper stepped forward to gently pat the old lady's back, his face filled with concern.

The old lady wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and nonchalantly responded, "I am fine. I just caught a chill from being outside."

"Madam, it's been fifteen years. If you truly miss the young lady, why not go to Haishi and see her?"

"No!"

Seeing the old lady's previously pleasant face instantly drop, the housekeeper sighed in silence.

He really didn't understand what the old lady was being stubborn about.

She always declared her intentions to sever the mother-daughter relationship, yet she bought up the entire street where her daughter once lived as soon as she left Haishi, and she still visited there every year.
