Chapter 626: The Old Story of the Xia Sisters

"But Cory suddenly needed to work out of town, and he asked for one of our daughters to accompany him. My heart ached at the thought of parting with our children, but Nidya, who was only six at that time, insisted on going with him. Nina and your Uncle Frederick were devastated, crying and begging her to stay. But she still chose to leave with Cory."

"At that time, I missed my little girl so much that I would call her often. She told me that she followed her father because she was afraid that if he was away from home for too long, he would become estranged from us. I was deeply moved by her words. Despite being only six, she showed a great deal of understanding."

"Cory is a man; how could he take care of a child? I was afraid Nidya would suffer with him. I would bring her home every six months to stay for a month. The two sisters were very close and always had so much to share. I couldn't bear to see them separated, so I suggested Nidya move back and she agreed."
