Mu Yan met Mu Chen's eyes filled with self-reproach, and her heart skipped a beat.
It seems, the truth could not be concealed any longer.
Probably due to poor health since childhood, Mu Chen's heart was both fragile and sensitive.
Especially after their parents passed away, and the siblings relied on each other to survive, it became even more so.
Mu Yan sighed, "It's my fault for hiding it from you, I didn't want you to worry about me."
"But if something really happened to you, how would I cope?" Mu Chen retorted.
He closed his eyes slightly and suddenly choked, "Sis, you don't owe me anything, even if you did, you have long repaid it, now I owe you!"
Sometimes he even hated himself, wondering why he didn't just die and stop burdening her.
"Don't say such nonsense!" Mu Yan's face darkened, she reprimanded, "We are family, no one owes anyone, if you say such things again, you're refusing to acknowledge me as your sister."
