Perhaps Emily was too tired from playing all day, she cried herself to sleep in Shen Yu’s arms. In the end, Shen Yu carried Emily back to the Shen family. When Emily woke up the next day, she saw a note left by Shen Yu beside her pillow. “Wait for me to come back.”
Emily held the note in her hand. Her eyes could not help but redden. She hugged her legs and cried again. She told herself not to be too sad. Shen Yu would come back, but she could not help it.
“Millie?” Second Aunt pushed the door open and came in. She saw Emily crying and rushed forward.
“Second Aunt, Brother is gone. Brother is gone.” Emily was so sad that she threw herself into Second Aunt’s arms. She cried even more sadly.
Second Aunt’s eyes were full of heartache, but she had no way to deal with this matter. She could only comfort Emily’s emotions over and over again, telling Emily that Shen Yu would come back very soon.
After a fierce cry, Emily’s bad mood lessened a lot, but she was still very depressed. Second Aunt simply gave her a few more days off, wanting to take Emily downstairs to eat. However, Emily could not lift her spirits. She stared blankly at the note left by Shen Yu.
For a few days in a row, Emily had obviously lost a lot of weight, which made Second Aunt’s heart ache. However, Emily just stayed in her room and did nothing. She began to cry from time to time. If Second Aunt hadn’t forced Emily to eat something, she might have been sent to the hospital for a nutritional injection not long after.
“Millie still doesn’t want to come down?” Third Aunt saw that Second Aunt was the only one who came down with the food. It was obvious that Emily hadn’t eaten much of the food in her hands. She was also a little worried and even complained.
“Tell me, how can Dad be so cruel to let Xiao Yu go to such a cruel place without discussing it with his family? Once Xiao Yu leaves, he’ll make our Millie cry.”
“What are you saying? Let Dad and Mom hear it. Be careful not to be scolded.” Second Aunt glared at Third Aunt, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with Third Aunt’s words.
Third Aunt quickly looked around. Seeing that Shen Yan and Old Madam Shen were not around, she let out a sigh of relief, “What do you think is going on? It’s not a good idea for Millie to continue like this. Don’t tell me that Xiao Yu doesn’t come back, Millie’s body will act up again? Won’t Xiao Yu come back?”
“What else can we do? Before Xiao Yu left, Mom came to me and asked me to take precautions. Who knew that Shen Yu would drag Millie out to play that day? Millie is a smart kid. She might have already guessed that Xiao Yu would leave. She hasn’t said anything for the past few days. She’s just staring blankly at the note that Xiao Yu left behind.”
“How can this continue? Why don’t I get Xiao Nan to talk to Millie? At home, other than getting along with Xiao Yu, the closest person to Millie is Xiao Nan. Maybe it’ll be useful for Xiao Nan to go?”
“What’s the use? It’s not like Xiao Nan hasn’t been there before. After entering, isn’t Millie still staring at the note in a daze? Millie is just feeling down for a period of time. She’ll be fine in a few days. Let’s take a look again.”
Third Aunt was very conflicted, but she felt that Second Aunt’s words made some sense. However, when she saw Emily in this state, she could do nothing but feel sorry for her. It was the same for Old Madam Shen. She kept blaming Shen Yan. However, things had already happened, and it was still up to Emily to walk out from the sadness on her own.
These past few days, Emily had been really out of sorts. Every day, when she woke up, she would think that she would be very sad if she did not see Shen Yu today. Whenever she was sad, her tears would flow down uncontrollably. She was also very clear that she could not be like this… However, she could not help it.
“Millie, come in for a moment.” Emily was still immersed in her sadness when the voice of Bai Yi sounded in her mind. She sniffed, and with a thought, her consciousness appeared in the space.
Seeing that Bai Yi was still sitting on the tree trunk, Emily felt very sad and wanted to cry again.
“Bai Yi… Brother is gone. I haven’t seen Brother for a long time. I’m so sad. I know I can’t cry, but I can’t help it.”
Bai Yi was helpless. As soon as she heard Emily’s cry, she wanted to cover her ears. Impatiently, she crossed her hands. “Stop. Look around first. Is there any difference?”
Emily was stunned. She quickly looked around. It was still the same as before. There was no change? Now, nothing was more important than her brother leaving. Emily wanted to cry again.
