"Alright, child. Stop crying or you will end up having a fever." Domenic reminded his little sister as he rubbed her head softly to soothe her.
Emily hurriedly pulled away as she looked at him with a tear-stained face before asking in a small voice, "Will you stop being angry at me if I'll become sick?"
Domenic flicked her forehead immediately as he spoke in a serious and reprimanding tone, "Don't even think about harming yourself to get our attention."
She did not need to be a mind reader to realize that her brother was completely serious. Not like she was really planning to do something like that. She was not completely insane after all.
"I was just asking. I don't have any such plans. I really love my life." She muttered in reply, making her brother relax a little.
When Domenic once again became silent, she finally looked up at him only to find him sitting there with closed eyes.
