Chapter 477

"Mm... I understand..."

Mrs. Gu knew she wasn't happy.

In the many days since her return, she had never seen her smile. The sight of her furrowed, troubled brows had cast a lingering gloom in everyone's hearts as well.

The threads of affection were not so easily severed, yet if not cut, they would cause her pain for a lifetime.

As a mother, she would rather be ruthlessly decisive at times like these, letting her daughter suffer briefly and quickly forget instead of enduring a lifetime of pain.

Mrs. Gu smiled, "Then get up quickly, I'm going to my room to change clothes."

"Mm..."

It wasn't until Mrs. Gu left that Gu Ruo took her hands from her face, her palms moist, her cheeks wet with tears.

The sunlight outside the window was splendid, as if heralding the start of a new life.

She picked up her cellphone from the nightstand to check the weather and time.
