“If all of this is a coincidence, then this matter-”

Before Pei Xin could finish, Sun Jin frowned and added his two cents, “If all of this is a coincidence, then something isn’t adding up. Criminals like to be the first to report the case. Ling Xue might be the same.”

Pei Xin was surprised. She did not expect Sun Jin to believe her.

However, Sun Jin had already entered his world of deduction. “It is true that she is the only one who will benefit from your accident. She is the daughter of the Pei Family and has become Lu Li’s fiance.”

He seemed to have thought of something and abruptly turned around. “Pei Xin, answer this, are you sure you must find your son’s father?”

Pei Xin nodded stiffly. “The only way to cure Ling Lin is to find his biological father. I have to.”

“You’ll have to be mentally prepared to go through all of this.” Sun Jin was silent for a moment before he said.

“Be mentally prepared for what?” Pei Xin didn’t quite understand what he meant. “You said that you might not be able to find that person… Is there something else? I don’t understand.”

Looking at the pitiful woman in front of him, Sun Jin thought for a moment before deciding to tell her everything he knew.

“Someone has already been investigating this matter. Everything matches up..” He looked at Pei Xin helplessly. “The other party found a very well-known private detective in the industry, and he immediately gathered a team. The investigation took a long time. A few days ago, someone asked me about what happened back then.”

Pei Xin’s heart was in her throat. Could it be that Ling Lin’s father was also looking for her?

“D-do you know who that person is?” She wasn’t afraid of that person finding her. If she could find Ling Lin’s biological father, Ling Lin would be saved.

Sun Jin shook his head. “That’s what 1 wanted to say. 1 couldn’t find out the other party’s identity. Therefore, the other party must have a very strong background. That’s why I… Are you sure you must look for him? If he finds out about your son’s existence…”

He didn’t continue, but Pei Xin already understood what he meant.

Every family placed great importance on their children. If they knew of Ling Lin’s existence, wouldn’t they come and snatch him away?

Seeing Pei Xin’s expression, Sun Jin could tell she understood what he was trying to say.

“If the other party comes to fight for custody of the child, what will you do? You’ve been in prison for five years. It won’t be enough for the judge if you tell them you are close to your son.” Sun Jin felt that it was better to explain everything clearly at this time so that Pei Xin could mentally prepare herself for what’s about to come.

“Moreover, the other party might be powerful enough to give him the best education and life. What do you have to fight for it? In your current situation, you won’t have any advantage. After all, your brother had more time with him than you.”

Sun Jin’s every word pierced Pei Xin’s heart. She had been in prison for so many years and had never taken care of Ling Lin. It was impossible to use mother-son kinship to win the argument.

Looking at her despondent appearance, Sun Jin couldn’t bear to see her suffer like that.. What could be sadder than snatching a child away from his mother?

“Alright, don’t worry too much. We’ll cross the bridge when we get there. There’s no need to make a rash decision now..” Sun Jin patted Pei Xin’s shoulder unnaturally. “This isn’t the only way to treat the child’s illness. 1’11 help you ask around. Maybe there are some advanced treatment methods overseas that could help.”

Pei Xin nodded sadly. “Thank you.”

Other than thanking him, she really didn’t know what else to say. If there was really another way, the doctor would have told her. She did not dare to place her hopes on anyone else.

Pei Xin didn’t know how she got back to the company. She hazily moved. As soon as she entered the elevator, she bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry.” She apologized subconsciously. A familiar scent assaulted her, and she realized that she had entered the wrong elevator.

“I’m sorry, CEO Lu. 1 -I’ll go down now.” Pei Xin pressed the elevator button in a panic, but her hand was held back by Lu Huai.

He caught a glimpse of Pei Xin’s dejected expression from afar. Now that she was so absent-minded, he was even more annoyed. “You’re already upstairs. Which floor are you going to?”

“T-to the live room.” Pei Xin replied with her head lowered.

However, Lu Huai didn’t press the button for her floor. Instead, he brought her directly to his office.

Pei Xin was a little at a loss. “What’s the matter?”

“I think you’re the one with an important matter.” Lu Huai frowned at her. “What’s wrong? Has your son been discharged?”

Pei Xin nodded, but she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Lu Huai felt even more annoyed. “What happened?” Tell me. I’ve told you before, 1 will help you..”
