Hana was shocked. Immediately after that, she covered both her cheeks, which were as white as sheets. She was old. She knew that. She had never lived a good life since childhood and her life always had been very tough. Although the conditions were so rough and she also had very painful childbirth at that time, she recovered very quickly.
However, ever since she married Hector, Hector had been idle all day while she had to work from dawn to dusk. Life was incomparably rough for her. In fact, the twenty best years of her life had been completely drained by Hector and Tessa. If Zayn had not treated her so well, Hana would have been even older than she was at that moment. In the past year, Zayn had supported her so well that she actually looked much younger. If she did not tell others about her actual age, they would have thought that she was only thirty-five years old. However, after a great deal of effort in taking care of herself for more than a year, Hana's energy had completely been exhausted after she gave birth to the baby. She had been on the delivery bed for a day and a night. Other than the child's weight, and the weight of the amniotic fluid and whatnot, she herself even lost three kilograms. Could she not appear old? 1
When Hana heard such wailing from Zayn's mother, she wanted to take cover under the ground out of
embarrassment. She trembled and said with extreme inferiority, "Missus Smith...you...you're here."
"Don't talk to me!" Zayn's mother felt disgusted.
She was not a difficult person, and she also was not a fussy old woman. However, her son was only in his early thirties that year. Her son was in charge of the large Smith Group. Although the Smith Group was not as huge as the Ford Group and it could not even be compared to the Conor Group, her son still had a net worth of three billion dollars. With such net worth and appearance like her son's, he could have his pick of women. His legs were once broken and he had once been crippled for a few years, but were those not in the past already? He would have gotten anybody, why did he...
After Zayn's mother first saw Hana, who had just given birth recently, she truly could not accept it. She did not care about Hana feeling awkward, she also did not care that Hana had just been pulled back to the land of living by the doctors from Death's hands. She just covered her face and bawled her eyes out in front of Hana.
"My gosh. What sins have I committed that my son had to suffer so much? In the end, he even...married a n old woman. Oh..."
Zayn's father patted his wife on the back. "Enough. Just cut it out!"
Only then did Zayn's mother embarrassedly wipe her tears. "Well, I'm sorry..."
After saying that, she did not look at Hana anymore. She just tilted her head and looked at her grandson in the stroller. The baby who had just been born three days ago was very chubby and he looked just like Zayn when he was a baby at a glance. The couple was then happy beyond measure. They only played with the baby and they completely ignored Hana. Hana could only smile awkwardly at the side and she did not know what to say.
The couple had played with the child for more than ten minutes before Zayn's mother looked at Hana and said earnestly, "Hana, look at you. After this year, you'll be almost halfway to fifty in age. My son is only i n his thirties. He is handsome and he has a huge business. When the time comes, even if my son did not initiate to find other women, the women would be stuck to my son like headless chickens. Think about i t, which can withstand the temptations out there? If m y son abandoned you when you're fifty, what should you do then, Hana?
Hana looked at Zayn's mother with tears streaming down her face. "Missus Smith..." 1
She wanted to say, "Please don't drive me away, alright? I just want to stay by Zayn's side."
