3RD PERSON’S POV 

After having their dinner, everybody went to the receiving area. Except for Li Nana as she went to the kitchen to prepare some teas and desserts.

“So where do we start?” Jung Hwan chuckled just to ease some tension that started to engulf them.

“Uncle, do you know something about this?” Sean asks.

“Actually dear…" he paused.

"I know everything. Well in fact this all started with me. From the mistakes that I made from the past.” He answers. Though he is smiling, you can clearly see the sadness and regrets in his eyes.

“Oppa, it’s not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself.” Li Nana says when she gets back and hears Jung Hwan. She puts the tray she was carrying on the center table and sits beside her husband, who is silently listening.

“I'm so confused. What mistakes? And why is Haoxuan calling Mama Zhang, Mama?" He keeps looking back at Haoxuan, his Mama Zhang at his Uncle Jung. He also notices the looks Haoxuan and Yibo exchange with each other. 

“Zhan-Zhan, dear. My baby.” Xiu Ying stood in her seat and went to Sean. She cupped his face and caressed it lovingly. "I also didn't know about it until 6 months after we left. Back then, you're already with your true family. I didn't tell you this because I didn't want to worry. It's not a good story to tell… so I decided to keep it from you."

“Zhan as you already knew, as I have already told you. I was just a person Mr. Kim entrusted with your safety. All I knew back then was that you and Cheng were in danger. Someone wants to harm you. Back then, I didn't have the slightest and I had never thought that you were the  babies that I've heard missing." Xiao Meng speaks up.

“And that someone was Wang Rou,”  Jung Hwan said that shocked Sean the most. Well everybody was shocked except for the olders who already knew about the story.

Sean looked at Yibo but he was just looking down. Sean’s eyes shaking in confusion. Xiu Ying who’s almost kneeling in front of him, took his hands and gently squeezed them. He looked at her, and she smiled at him. Then she went back to her seat.

“Wang Rou was planning to take you away, have you hidden for years and switch you altogether." Jung Hwan continues.   "But I sabotaged his plans. I took you and Cheng but somehow he discovered my plan. He had his men chase after us. Fortunately, that night, I met Xiao Meng. I begged him to take you. I promised him I would come back and look for him but unfortunately, my car fell on a cliff. I survived but I went into a coma for 10 years. I was so lucky that I lived, I was given a chance to correct my mistakes and ask for forgiveness. But unfortunately, I lost my ability to walk again." He smiles faintly. 

"And I'm beyond grateful because not only Xiao Meng took care of you but also he treated you very very well and loved you like his own. Him and his wife, Xiu Ying."  Li Nana said, tears forming on the corners of her eyes.

"Me and my wife are grateful too." Wang Feng seconded. He looked at his son, Zhou Cheng, then to Xiao Meng. And they just exchange nods.
