They hadn't let the child stay long at the funeral.
But...
Surely it wasn't possible for her to have attended the funeral and still not know what she'd gone to...
The child stared blankly at Grandfather Yu and Grandma Yu.
A funeral?
What funeral?
The child instinctively didn't want to ask.
She looked stubbornly at them. "Grandpa, Grandma, you're so mean."
Tears welled in the child's eyes.
"Why would you say that about Mom and Dad?"
"Don't you like Mom and Dad anymore?"
"I don't like you anymore, either."
"No!"
Grandma Yu took a deep breath.
She made herself calm down.
The child was still young...
She had to explain it properly...
"Lele."
Grandma Yu softened her tone. "Do you remember..."
Although she didn't want to bring it up...
That incident had been a nightmare for the child.
But the child's current state made her feel deeply uneasy.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Grandma Yu spoke anyway.
"Do you remember the car accident?"
The child froze for a few seconds, her face turning deathly pale.
She remembered.
How could she not?
It had been so frightening...
Because of that car accident, she had spent a month in the hospital.
Ever since then, she'd hated the smell of disinfectant in hospitals.

After a month in the hospital, the child hadn't gotten used to the smell of disinfectant. Instead, her dislike of it had turned into hatred...
It had even made her feel physically sick.
The change in the child's expression said everything.
Grandma Yu took the child's hand.
As if trying to give her strength and comfort.
"You know that Mom and Dad were in the car accident with you..."
The child's palm was ice-cold.
The bewilderment on her pale face
