Hector was caught off guard slightly. "What did you-you say?"
"May I ask if you and Hana are married?" asked Zayn.
Hector was speechless.
"When you got together with her back then, she was still a minor right? When she was pregnant, she was still three months shy from being eighteen, right? Being seventeen and a half years old, how could she get a marriage certificate with you? Later on, when she had already fulfilled the requirement of being twenty-two years old, did you get a marriage certificate with her?"
Hector was speechless. He did not expect that Zayn would have such a clear understanding of the situation. He stammered, "How did you...know? You're ...you’re investigating me?"
Zayn sneered. He did not look at Hector, but he just looked at Tessa. "Tessa, I did not have any other purpose for investigating your mother. I was only doing it to let you and your mother reconcile. I originally wanted to mediate the relationship between you and your mother, but it seems there is no need for that now. 1
"Tessa, I also want to tell you this. One day, you will also become a mother. When that day comes, you will
have your regrets! It'll take it as I have been blinded in the past and have misjudged you for the better! No matter how much I have spent on you, it has never crossed my mind to ask it back from you! Your mother only came to look for you because she didn’t want to accept benefits from others for no reason! However, you have bitterly disappointed her and made her very heartbroken. You have killed the affection between you and her as mother and daughter. You have killed her heart alive! Don’t say that I’ve not warned you!" 1
Zayn turned around and walked off upon saying that. He came in front of Hana and took her hand. "Hana, let's go!"
“Mm-hmm." Hana responded very softly. She did not turn around to look at her daughter anymore.
However, her heart was bleeding. She was yearning for Zayn to stop the bleeding in her heart. "Let's go get our marriage certificate now, alright?”
"Of course!" said Zayn.
He had never expected that his marriage would be this dramatic. He had been searching and searching for more than thirty years and he had finally found his most beloved. Perhaps there was no need for an extended test of time. Only one look and one matter were needed for him to determine that she was going t o be the harbor where his soul could go to take a rest. I t was the same for her.
