This was indeed a new train of thought, one that Ye Xi had not considered before.
"Actually, we don't really want to do anything," Jian Nian continued to mutter, "All we want is to know that the child is still alive in this world, to sneak a peek at him. As long as we know he's doing well, that's enough. We won't disturb his life, after all, his life with his dad is much better than it would be with you. But then, who can guarantee his dad won't find him a stepmom? And who knows if the stepmom would treat the child well? After all, it's not her own child."
She had been better off not hearing this, as now Ye Xi's heart was suspended in anxiety.
All reason and promises vanished like smoke.
In her mind, she could only see those scenes from TV dramas where stepmothers abused their children, and she was on the verge of collapse.
