"She's like a beautiful flower. Though she should be in full bloom, an accident is causing her to wither away."
"She hasn't had the chance to truly see the world, or experience real happiness."
"I don't understand why the heavens are so unfair. She's so kind and thoughtful, a little pixie, yet she has to endure such agonizing suffering."
Perhaps because he'd held it in for too long, Gu Peng covered his face and began to weep, his cries turning into choked sobs.
Mo Qi patted his shoulder. "Who says she's unhappy? Having a brother like you is her greatest blessing."
"What kind of brother am I?" Gu Peng wiped away his tears, his voice thick with self-mockery. "I couldn't even keep her safe. I let her become like this. What kind of damn brother am I?!"
Mo Qi shook his head. "That's where you're wrong. What happened to your sister wasn't an accident."
Gu Peng's head snapped up. "Not an accident?"
Mo Qi countered, "Have you ever seen a simple fall leave someone in her condition?"
