"Doctor, I heard you're moving?"

Qiang Yue nodded as a kind smile appeared on his face as he looked at the new intern. She was a clumsy woman in her early twenties named Li Feilan. She had messy black hair and a pair of glasses covering her chocolate eyes. She was petite and short, easily being towered by Qiang Yue's bigger height. Li Feilan had recently been accepted into the hospital for an internship and has been asking everyone all sorts of questions, trying to familiarize herself with the hospital. She especially liked to ask Qiang Yue questions, thinking he was the most talented and wisest physician.

Her admiration for him made him chuckle. Her laughter reminded him of...her, whom he hadn't spoken with for so long now. He missed her. Not just because he loved her, but he missed her as his friend. Qiang Yue raises his phone to dial her phone number but stopped. Maybe they should avoid each other for a little while longer...

He wasn't moving jobs, just houses because his previous one left too many memories of his deceased father and the events that occurred. Looking at his watch, Qiang Yue realized that he needed to get going and pack the final couple of things before he moved out completely.

When he drove back home, he began to pack the last couple of items and noticed a worn out letter that was thoroughly hidden in his father's things. He didn't want to pry, but his curiosity got the best of him. Qiang Yue opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. He opened it and noticed very light writing, almost nonexistent had he not been so close to the letter. It was almost like whoever was writing it didn't want to write the content, but was forced to do it anyways.

Qiang Yue was almost tempted to not disturb the letter, but seeing its conditions made him more curious. His eyes fell on the first word and he began to read the letter in his head. Halfway through the letter, he gripped the paper harshly and trembled as he finished reading.

Such a mess...and his father had kept it all from him! His mother hadn't died, she was actually the former Zhou Eldress! He grabbed his coat and car keys and quickly drove to his father's grave. Solemnly, he stared at the tombstone and read the engraved words. He couldn't believe it. The mother he yearned for as a child turned out to be the kidnapper of his beloved... What cruel fate was this?

The letter was still firmly in his hand and with silent contemplation, he finally decided that the right thing to do was to tell Ling Xiu. If he knew, she had the right to know as well. She was kept in a prison after all her malicious deeds were brought to life, but it still stunned him to see her in orange. She didn't look pleased that he was the one visiting her as her face revealed that it would be someone else.

"What do you want?" Ling Xiu snapped and her snake-like eyes narrowed. Even though he was the son of Qiang Luo, who was her former subordinate, she still harbored dislike against him because he seemed to like that bitch from what she observed at the birthday celebration.

"Do...you know this letter?" He raised the letter and her eyes flickered in its direction before she shook her head.

"If you won't tell me why you're annoying me then you might as well go." She replied snarky.

He turned the letter around and held it up so she could read it despite the glass separating them. Her face lost color when she finally finished reading it and she glanced at Qiang Yue in a new light.?

"You...are my son?"

Qiang Yue did not accept or deny her words. He just silently looked at her growing gleeful and assumed that it was because of the discovery that she has a son. However, his expectations shattered when she spoke again. "You can be eligible for being the Zhou heir. I can finally get out of here and be restored to my former authority—"

"I have no ambition for something that does not belong to our family—"

"It has always belonged to us!" She angrily refuted. "It still belongs to me because we have not divorced... you are still eligible to be the heir! Yue'er, believe me, even she will be yours."

"You kidnapped and hurt her..." he murmured, coldly looking at her power-hungry expression. "Enough is enough. You have not repented... My actions today were purely for good will because as I found out, I realized that you had the right to know too. But I will not let you manipulate anything, including yourself, to believe that their fortune and power is yours." He stood up, grabbing the letter and putting it in the envelope again.

She sensed that he was leaving and became more frantic. "Qiang Yue, you must—"

"Goodbye..." Her yells echoed behind him until the security guards stabilized the situation. Qiang Yue could not find it in himself to call her 'mother' because in his life, his mother had already died and never existed. All he had and acknowledged was a father who was deceased, despite his actions.

Ling Xiu banged her fists on the table as she cursed Qiang Yue for being the solution to her problems yet useless at the same time.

All she had was her title of being the Zhou Eldress... but as she was notified that the divorce—despite her protests—was finalized.

She had truly lost everything.
