"Are you sure?"
Qiao Chutian asked again.
"Yes."
"Then I'll tell Xiaomai."
Qiao Chutian redialed Mai Xiaomai's number and told her that they agreed to the surgery decision.
"Chutian, the surgery for Xiaoshun is a matter of life and death. I think you must come back to be with him."
Mai Xiaomai said, "No matter what, I am just a foster mother with no blood relation after all."
"I'll ask Lin Na about it."
Qiao Chutian turned to ask Lin Na.
"I don't want to go back."
Lin Na said in a somewhat soft voice, "It's not that I'm heartless, but I really can't face the child, and I'm afraid of forming more attachments. I'm too fragile to withstand any more blows right now."
Qiao Chutian didn't reproach her.
Because he himself also seemed to have no feelings or care for Xiaoshun.
"She doesn't want to go back, honey. Everything is up to you now."
Qiao Chutian said to Mai Xiaomai.
Mai Xiaomai was stunned, finding it hard to understand how they could abandon their own child.
