Many nights, regret gnawed at her mind and body like worms until she became a vast, empty abyss.
She often asked herself, "Do you regret it?"
Of course, she regretted it.
But this regret wasn't born from guilt toward the child in front of her and her ex-husband; it was regret for her blindness, having chosen the wrong man, leading to the poverty she's living in now.
She also lamented her fate, questioning why she never met a decent man.
She was often unwilling to accept why her life had to be so hard.
It couldn't be denied that upon learning of the Shi family's downfall, she was, for a time, relieved, thankful she left the Shi family and hadn't ended up in the second household's ruin.
Her originally resentful heart strangely calmed somewhat when she saw that Shi family members weren't doing well.
However, the other day when she stumbled upon news of the Ning family's daughter being with her son on her phone, her heart began to ache again, losing balance.
