"Isn't there still you?"
Word by word, there was even a bit of accusation in it.
It left Chu Liangxia at a loss for words.
Yes, there still was her...
After a long while.
In the quiet hospital room, Chu Liangxia's voice could be heard, tinged with helplessness, "I might not be able to take care of you."
"I don't need your care," Lang Lin stated emphatically, staring at her.
He was already of age and no longer needed any caretaking.
But, he and Chu Liangxia were real siblings, having the same parents.
He no longer had parents and, likewise, Chu Liangxia no longer had parents either.
Even her child was gone.
He couldn't possibly abandon his own sister to rely on the Lang Family he had never met.
"Alright then," Chu Liangxia conceded and asked him, "Where are you living now?"
"The old apartment."
"When will you go to school?"
"When you're discharged."
"Tomorrow," Chu Liangxia said, "I'll be discharged soon, so you should go to school earlier."
"...Okay."
