As a woman, I know what happened to you, and I sympathize with you, but as a mother, you should know a parent''s love for their children leads them to make long-term plans for them. I hope you can understand me, a mother who loves her son deeply."

“你…果真？那我就放心了，你这样的身份能有你这样的气度也是少见。作为女子，你的遭遇我知道也很同情你，但是作为一个母亲，你该知道父母之爱子,则为之计深远。我希望你能理解我，我只是一个深爱自己儿子的母亲。”
