"Even sever ties with Chuyi, the child, because of adoption?" Uncle Xia stared intently at his sister and asked, word by word.
Mother Xia choked, lifting her eyes slightly, "I, I didn't…"
Stammering.
Uncle Xia's chest heaved violently, and finally, he could no longer hold back. He slammed his cane hard onto the ground and shouted loudly, "Foolish!"
The loud noise startled everyone present, causing them to shrink back.
Tears in Mother Xia's eyes were scared back as she trembled and cried out, "Brother…"
Pitifully.
Seeing her like this, Uncle Xia became even angrier, shaking his head, shaking his head, and then shaking his head again.
Finally, he heaved a heavy sigh.
After sighing, he spoke solemnly, "It was my mistake."
He began with self-blame.
"It was my mistake. I should not have indulged you."
For the first time, Uncle Xia felt an immense regret for his indulgence towards Mother Xia over the years.
