Chapter 1982: 1982
Shen Luo’an fell silent at Shen Manting’s retort .
But he couldn’t help taking another glance at her .
“What did the doctor say to you?”
“Nothing . ” Shen Manting kept eating . “All he said was that my mood was unstable, or something along that line . What else could he have said?”
She appeared exceptionally calm, as if she was describing something insignificant .
Aunt Lin couldn’t help turning to glance at her .
Shen Luo’an seemed unhappy, but he held back his temper .
They remained silent . No one spoke again .
After supper, Shen Manting went back to her room .
She locked the door without even first carrying the infant . Nobody knew what she was up to inside .
Aunt Lin, still holding the infant in her arms, felt something was amiss . She sat down in front of Shen Luo’an and said, “Manting has been acting strangely today . ”
Shen Luo’an thought something was wrong too . He glanced at the tiny infant in Aunt Lin’s arms and replied, “Perhaps she’s in a bad mood . I’ll check on her later . ”
“Is she planning to run away? She’s been acting really strange today, all day . ” Aunt Lin’s gaze was fixed on the door of the room . She couldn’t help recalling the image of Shen Manting escaping through the window .
Shen Luo’an thought nothing of it . He smiled and looked at the infant . “Don’t worry, she won’t give up on Little Moon . ”
Aunt Lin glanced at the baby, too .
She nodded and said, “You’re right . The baby still has to be breast-fed . She wouldn’t have the heart to leave him behind . ”
However, Shen Manting stayed inside the room for a long time .
The infant fell asleep, then woke up crying .
Aunt Lin noticed that he had soiled his diaper .
“Bring me a clean diaper,” she commanded, before whispering, “Go check on Manting . Don’t let her become ill from staying cooped up inside the room for too long . ”
Shen Luo’an obeyed and found the key to the room easily .

However, he felt a strong resistance against the door .
As though something was blocking the door .
He pushed the door open with a forceful heave . To his surprise, he found the room empty .
Gusts of wind swept in from outside the window and lashed across Shen Luo’an .
Whoosh .
The wind was so strong that the objects in the room were blown askew .
The bed was left in a mess . The lights were dimmed .
Shen Luo’an immediately felt something was wrong . He quickly turned on the light .
The room was illuminated .
But no one was in the room .

The wardrobe and the window were thrown open – telling indicators of Shen Manting’s whereabouts .
Aunt Lin had never expected that Shen Manting would leave without her baby .
Stunned, she looked at Shen Luo’an in a completely different light now . She didn’t believe it before, but now…
So they were really brother and sister?
Shen Manting didn’t go far .
Firstly, she was a bit hesitant . Secondly, the motive of her departure was too obvious .
Since she had made up her mind to leave, she would leave nothing behind .
She didn’t want to endure a life of inhumane abuse and the demoralizing humiliation of depending on others for her livelihood .
She would support herself, even if she had to live alone .
As for the child…

Since the Shen family wanted him so badly, they wouldn’t mistreat him .
Shen Manting laid herself down on the bed in the room of an inn and closed her eyes .
Before she knew it, she was fast asleep . But she was soon awakened by the swelling in her breasts .
Shen Manting frowned upon noticing her blouse was damp . She lifted it and took a look at her red and swollen breasts .
They felt hard like stones to the touch .
There was white discharge flowing out . Her swollen, sore breasts were a disturbing sight .
She glanced at the time – it was morning already .
She realized she hadn’t fed her baby all night .
She sniffled at the unsettling thought .
Her tears fell uncontrollably .
