He never thought he could see it again.

As they spoke, Jiang Ning's wheelchair had already arrived in front of them.

Jiang Yuan stood by her brother's side, just smiling.

Jiang Yan was more polite as she came over and said with a smile, "I heard that Seventh Sister has not been feeling well these past few days. I also had a headache from a cold recently, and only just recovered, so I didn't manage to visit Seventh Sister."

"Visiting or not, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Ruobai, escorted by a servant, approached and asked, "Yi, have you met your sister yet?"
