258 It’s Not Your Fault 2 (2/2)

”Um… Sir Shiro, how's my sister?”

”There's no need to worry. She's fine,” Shiro answered with a professional smile. ”Tell her that she needs a lot of rest. Aside from that, she'll be alright.”

”Thank you very much.”

Shiro waved his hand and walked out of the small apartment. This time, he was being careful enough not to let his picture got captured by the cameras. He didn't want to invite trouble with the Nali Family as it was already hard enough for him to keep low-profile.

When Shiro had left, Laura tiptoed to Kanae's room. She peeked inside and saw her sister was lying sideways on the bed. Seeing that Kanae still woke up, she quietly walked inside.

”Sis, how're you?”

”Laura, are you crying again?” Kanae asked in surprise.

Laura was startled. She quickly moved her hand to wipe her tears. Internally, she scolded herself to cry again.

”I'm not crying.”

Kanae smiled helplessly. ”Come over here.”

Laura looked towards Kanae's gesture and slowly walked towards the side Kanae pointed at. Her eyes locked to Kanae's face as guilt filled her entire body. She couldn't bear the thought of making her sister face danger again.

Kanae raised her hand and patted Laura's head. ”Stop blaming yourself. Even a thousand 'what if' can't bring back what had happened. You should rest too. Today is quite tiring and you still have school tomorrow.”

Laura also knew that even if she lamented what had happened a thousand times, she wouldn't be able to change the past. It had happened and no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't change them.

Her eyes turned larger when she processed what her sister told her. ”Sis, I'm not going to school when you're still like this!”

”You have to,” Kanae answered simply. ”There's nothing you can do when you're at home. You better go to school and tell others about my absent.”

”But…”

”No but, you have to go to school.”

Seeing the insistence from Kanae, Laura could only nod her head in reluctance. She didn't want to leave her sister, especially because it was her fault that Kanae was in this position. However, Kanae's instruction didn't leave her with any other choice.

In truth, Kanae had to instruct Laura to go to school because she didn't know when the government would send people to fetch her. Although they would do it under the pretense of kindly asking her about the incident, it was actually a threat. When the time came, it would be better for Laura to not be at home or she was going to be extremely worried.

”If the other asks about visiting, tell them that I'll be alright, there's no need for that,” Kanae added.

Laura frowned. ”Are you sure you're alright, Sis?”

”I'm fine. You worry too much, Laura,” Kanae smiled brightly.

Hearing that, Laura could only nod her head in reluctance. She bit her lower lips as she thought about her sister condition.

”I'm sorry, Sis.”

”Like I say, it's not your fault, Laura. Even if the scene can repeat itself, I'll make the same decision,” Kanae added again, unwilling to give up her stance.

”Sis, you're still as stubborn as ever.”
