"Don't overthink it. You definitely won't become a burden to us. Maybe you'll bring a lot of joy into our lives. We need you too."
"I've found that you really are a good child. You always think of others. Right now, you should think more about yourself—think about how to give yourself a good life."
Uchiha Hiko felt that a child like her must have lacked a sense of security deep down, which was why she thought about such things at every turn. More importantly, he needed to make her feel that she was very important in this world.
Only then would the little girl increasingly feel how important she was, make use of that importance, and fill her life with hope. She would feel that every day of this life was extremely meaningful.
Uchiha Hiko wondered just how desperate this girl had once been about her life. Perhaps she had wanted to disappear from this world time and again.
Yet she had dismissed those thoughts. Just having such thoughts was terrifying enough, and continuing to live in this world took immense courage.
After thinking it over, Uchiha Hiko felt that this little girl was truly extraordinary. She must have possessed a very strong heart to slowly accept all of this.
"And you don't need to worry about your illness either. I'll gradually treat it for you. It isn't terminal, nor is it incurable. As long as you cooperate properly, none of this will be a problem."
Uchiha Hiko felt that the illness the little girl had just told him about was also very important, so he had to help her resolve it. Otherwise, it would always remain a burden on her heart.
In truth, to some extent, this so-called terminal illness was merely a psychological obstacle for the girl.
