We'll Only Share the Good News, Not the Bad News

"I've yet to break the news to them." Shen Zhilie replied before he let out a deep sigh. "Grandmother called me earlier on. She's getting on in years and I'm afraid to upset her. Could you help me to cook up an excuse to prevent worrying her further?" he asked.

Shen Luo'an's mood turned sombre.

He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes before asking, "Alright. How many more days will you guys be staying in Kingstown?"

"We'll return home after Qianqian feels better, but it probably won't be any time soon," Shen Zhilie replied.

"So Grandmother is unaware of Qianqian's mishap?" Shen Luo'an asked.

"She's aware, but she doesn't know the specifics. If Grandmother asks about it, just tell her that Qianqian needs to be hospitalized because she had a pretty bad fall and that we'll head back to the capital in a few days," said Shen Zhilie.
