He even forgot Pei Yiting's presence, slowly crouching down, letting out a painful groan. "I failed her..."
This was the first time his always-strong uncle showed such a vulnerable side in front of him, something Pei Yiting hadn't anticipated.
It seems, the importance of Aunt to uncle is self-evident...
"For so long, she actually kept it from me..." Cheng Xiaodong's face was full of pain, completely forgetting Pei Yiting's presence, thoroughly immersed in grief.
Knowing Cheng Xiaodong needed time, Pei Yiting stayed silent, not wanting to disturb him.
Qibao, witnessing this scene, fearfully tugged at his hand: "Daddy, what's wrong with Uncle Grandfather?"
"Uncle Grandfather is missing Grandma, Qibao, don't be afraid, just don't disturb him," Pei Yiting whispered to his daughter, and Qibao quickly nodded.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Xiaodong finally returned to reality from intense emotions, and the moment he lifted his head, his eyes displayed deep sorrow.
