Everyone only knew that the chief assistant to the Yin Family's eldest son disliked Mrs. Yin, and would often show her a cold face.
Mrs. Yin always showed a respectful and somewhat fearful attitude toward the chief assistant.
But no one knew that on the day Cecilia Gu gave birth—when she was bleeding out and nearly died on the operating table, when she chose to save her child and forget everything—there was someone who didn’t dare approach, only watching from afar.
Henry Shaw didn’t know why, either.
He was supposed to dislike Cecilia Gu.
He disliked her deeply, because she wasn’t good enough for Mr. Yin.
Yet every time he treated her badly, she only responded with a helpless smile and a sigh.
No matter how rude he was, she never tattled on him—even though she clearly could have.
She was so fragile, like a porcelain doll, always getting hurt by others.
But she was also incredibly strong.
At the very edge of life and death, she bravely gave her hope of survival to her child.
She might be foolish and clumsy, but she knew how to protect everyone around her.
She was a woman full of contradictions.
And yet, it was this very woman who left him helpless, and time after time, amazed him.
Henry Shaw knew something was wrong with him.
This illness came out of nowhere, and it could never be cured.
Yes, at the moment Cecilia Gu was taken away by the Grant Family, he suddenly realized his heart felt empty...
He had never felt anything like this before, and he didn’t know what kind of feeling it was.
He began to panic and run away.
He didn’t want to hear a single word about Cecilia Gu, but he still wanted to know if she was safe.
He didn't dare to hope for anything else. He knew her smile would never linger on him—she belonged to the young master.
Still, he couldn't help but want to protect her. Just like... just like three years ago, when others hurt her, he could appear by her side and quietly shield her.
Yes, quietly protecting her was enough.
She looked much better now than she did three years ago.
Maybe it's because she isn't burdened by pregnancy—she looks even more beautiful!
Henry Shaw suddenly felt that maybe he didn't need to show up in front of her at all.
Just watching her like this was already enough.
Cecilia kept feeling like someone was watching her, but after turning around, she didn't see anyone.
How strange. She shouldn't run into any acquaintances here, right?
Just as Cecilia was wondering, a cheerful voice sounded beside her: "Hey, Asian! Can I... can I sit here?"
Cecilia turned her head in confusion and saw the little girl who had been arguing with Mu Ruona by the parking spot earlier, now standing beside her seat.
The little girl's eyes kept darting over to Ethan Yin.
Cecilia deliberately teased her, "Who are you talking to?"
The little girl clearly didn't want to pay attention to Cecilia; her pride told her not to speak to people of lower status.
But... but that little prince is really handsome!
Handsome and elegant.
The little girl had been sneaking glances at Ethan Yin from her seat for a long time. She finally couldn't resist and wanted to ask for the little prince's contact info.
But the two Asian women in this spot were so annoying.
Still, since this woman was the little prince's mom, she'd reluctantly talk to her!
The little girl stiffened when she heard Cecilia's question. "I... I'm talking to you!"
