I feel broken and rage for Ah Zuo. I'm happy she's finally raising her head and living for herself and her brothers in arms. I'm sad she's going the dark side. MY could have easily sent a message to YLT to find out how far along she was. But you've asked us to be patient. I'll wait to see what motives he had for his actions. Aborting his own child, with the woman he knows would die before betraying him.
