When Jinqi's mother heard Xu Wan's question, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before looking up at her and answering in a firm tone, "I am willing."

Her tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

This was something Xu Wan hadn't expected.

In her view, Jinqi's mother clearly wanted to say goodbye to that dark time, and no matter what way she came out to identify Jinqi's father, she had to reopen the wound.

"you……"

“For Jinqi.” Jinqi’s mother forced a smile, revealing a helpless expression. “When I was so adamant about not acknowledging Jinqi, did you think I was a cold-blooded person? But I had no choice. Those years were hell for me. As soon as it got dark, Jinqi’s father would rape me. If I disobeyed, he would lock me in the basement, chain me up like a dog, and even make me eat from a dog bowl… Even after I came back, I would have nightmares every night. It was only with great difficulty that I recovered…”

As Jinqi's mother spoke, her body began to tremble, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Xu Wan quickly handed her a piece of paper. "I understand you. Don't be afraid. Liu Liqiang has been caught. I have the best criminal lawyer here. As long as there is enough evidence, we are confident that we can put him in jail for more than ten years, or even twenty years."

Jinqi's mother nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will definitely provide evidence to the police. If necessary, I can even testify in court. As long as he is punished, I am willing!"

"Thank you." Xu Wan glanced in the direction of the inflatable castle. "Don't worry about Xiao Jinqi. She is my savior. My husband and I will definitely take responsibility for her and help her find a good adoptive family."

Jinqi's mother also looked out the window.

The inflatable castle is surrounded by a fence, so you can't see the people inside, but you can hear the children's laughter.

She stared for a long time before looking away, wiping away her tears and saying firmly, "I'm sorry, I know Jinqi is pitiful, but I'm pitiful too. I've told too many lies to get back to a normal life, and now I'm pregnant again. I need to live for the child in my belly, to give her a healthy and complete life. I have no other choice. I'm sorry..."

I respect your choice.

That's all Xu Wan could say.

The fault doesn't lie with Jinqi's mother or Jinqi; it lies with Jinqi's father and the human traffickers!

Jinqi's mother took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Xu Wan along with her bank card. "This is my business card. You can contact me anytime if you need me to provide evidence. I can also appear in court to identify her. There is only one condition: find a good family to adopt Jinqi."

Xu Wan only accepted the business card and returned the bank card: "Let's talk about it after we find a suitable adoptive family for Jinqi."

Although the other party probably meant no harm, Xu Wan would never accept the money so easily, lest it cause problems later.

Jinqi's mother did not force her.

Xu Wan had just stepped out of the coffee shop when her cell phone rang in her bag.

It was a call from Jiang Tingzhou.

She answered the phone, and the man immediately asked, "Are you still out? What time will you be back?"

Xu Wan then realized that it was already past seven o'clock.

Looking at the inflatable castle a few meters away, she told the truth and said, "Xiao Jinqi is having a lot of fun. We have some time today, so let her play a little longer. I'll take her to see the musical fountain later and then we'll go back."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Tingzhou frowned. "If she wants to go out, I'll find someone to take her. You're pregnant, so don't go running around anymore."

"Don't worry, Tang Lu is taking her out to play." Xu Wan knew Jiang Tingzhou was worried about her, so she added, "I'll tell them to leave in a bit, we'll just take a quick look at the musical fountain and then go back. I promise I'll make sure Xiao Jinqi and I get back to the hospital safely, okay?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"Nine o'clock," Jiang Tingzhou said, then changed his mind, "Nine-thirty, I guess. You have to be back in my room before nine-thirty, or I'll drive to find you myself."
