A Husband For Killer Mom

Mei Yin didn’t expect that Deke Shu was her grandfather and she was Anxia’s cousin. It explained why Jamie cherished Anxia like her child―it was no wonder Jamie cared for Zhou Yu Hue sincerely as if the man were a valuable family member.

Jamie tried to protect them all in her own way even though she couldn’t speak. And above all, never did Mei Yin imagine that the Loraine Shu she had met so far wasn’t the real deal. That fake woman had deceived everyone here, including Deke Shu.

Anxia felt that her knees were weak and would have fallen if solid arms weren’t wrapped around her waist to support her body. She knew that Richard was hugging her from behind, and she felt her heart fill with warmth again when she felt her husband’s firm, broad chest.

“My mother… she had suffered.”

“But she never forgot you for a second.” Mei Yin continued when she saw her mother’s hand move again. “For her, you are the best gift that appears in her life, and she never regrets it. Her only regret is that she won’t be able to see you grow up.”

Then Jamie told Mei Yin to give something to Anxia. Mei Yin remembered her mother telling her to get a letter from Jamie’s room when she set up some explosives in the Loraine island mansion.

Obediently, Mei Yin handed the letter to Anxia and told her, “This is your mother’s last letter.”

With trembling hands, Anxia opened the letter and started to read it.

To Jamie, my best friend and sweetest sister in the world. Forgive me for involving you in my troubles. I shouldn’t have called you and asked for your help. I know your condition is now dependent on my father, and selfishly thinking about my feelings, I ask for your help.

Thank you for being my friend and always helping me when needed. My dad sent someone to get me out of here, but I don’t trust this guy completely. This person will become a traitor in the future, and I’m unsure if I will leave this place safely.

I know I’ve been very selfish for wanting to involve you again. But I don’t have anyone I can trust with all my soul. My father and mother-in-law are gone, and my husband is also in prison―my only hope is you alone.

Can you grant my wish one last time? Please bare it... please stay with my father and brother for a while. Tell them I have Xiao Xia, and Yu Long got her.

Whether they would save Anxia or not was up to them to decide. My instincts told me they wouldn’t try to get Xiao Xia out.

They didn’t like having weaknesses and didn’t want to start one. Even so, they’ll try to meet Xiao Xia when the child grows up.

When that time comes, can you take my place and be her mother? I want you to tell her that I love her very much and never once did I forget her every second.

Even though I had gone crazy from the drugs, the name that came out was not you or Yu Hue... but hers. Tell her I have never regretted giving birth to her and am very happy that she came into my life. Not only me, but I’m sure her father also felt the same way.

My only regret is that I will never be able to watch her grow up. But I never stop praying for Xiao Xia to have a much better life than me… than both of us.

I imagine Xiao Xia will find a man who sincerely loves her for who she is even though she was in Yu Long’s organization. I also pray that Xiao Xia will find an ordinary and dependable husband. But now that I think about it, wouldn’t it be much safer if Xiao Xia’s husband wasn’t a common man?

Therefore I pray that Xiao Xia will meet a husband who has power and that no one will dare to touch my daughter.

I had heard that the Wong had adopted my daughter and brought her to the states. It sounded impossible, but I hoped Xiao Xia’s spouse was one of the Alvianc or Regnz families.

I know what I’m talking about doesn’t make sense. It looks like this ‘crazy’ drug is starting to affect my brain.

I will end this letter before it becomes a book.

This is my last wish, Jamie. Will you grant it? I will never forget your kindness, even when I’m not by your side.

Full of love.

Anxia turned around to bury her face until her tears soaked Richard’s shirt. She thought she was indifferent toward her mother, without knowing her heart was so fragile that she wanted to scream.

Jamie wiped away her tears, understanding how heartbreaking Anxia was because she also felt the same sadness when she first read the letter.

From Loraine’s letter, Jamie learned that Loraine Shu, who was cold towards her, was not the real one. She didn’t know how Song Lei could make a foreign woman have the same face as Loraine. Neither Deke nor Lawrence felt suspicious, even though Loraine’s personality had changed. The two loved and pampered the fake Loraine even more because her nature resembled a Shu.

Jamie was also hiding this little secret and acted in the dark. Now she knew Song Lei intended to rebel and didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t know who she could trust.

But she did not hide that Loraine had a child with Deke Shu because of Loraine’s last request. Unfortunately, just as Loraine had suspected, Deke Shu didn’t bother saving his granddaughter.

It seemed to him that Mei Yin was present enough in this place that he did not bother to show another weakness to the Luen group by asking for his other granddaughter back. Unless Anxia were a son, Deke Shu might have second thoughts.

Therefore, Jamie could only wait until the time came when Deke Shu sent Jamie to follow Loraine to Etros together with Zhou Yu Hue. Jamie had to part with the three-year-old Mei Yin, making the child forget who her mother was.

It was aching for Jamie to leave her baby, but she didn’t have the power to bring Mei Yin and let someone else teach the girl how to speak, read, and everything. No one even considered letting Mei Yin know about Jamie, and Mei Yin believed Jamie was a kind-hearted woman, and since she didn’t have a mother, she viewed the older woman as one.

But Jamie was Mei Yin’s birth mother, making Mei Yin feel miserable.

Like Anxia, who cried in her husband’s arms, Mei Yin leaned her head on Xue Min’s shoulder and cried silently.
