"Don't go back on your word."
Grandma Yu was very excited.
But she did her best to hold back her excitement.
Now wasn't the time to get excited.
"Mm."
The child nodded obediently.
"I won't go back on my word."
"Lele..."
Grandma Yu's heart softened.
The child cared about them.
But soon, Grandma Yu began to hesitate.
Could she ask now?
"You..."
Had you accepted the fact that your parents were gone?
Grandma Yu still couldn't quite find her voice.
She nudged Grandfather Yu's arm.
She gave him a look.
She wanted him to ask the child that question.
Grandfather Yu: ...
Wasn't this the sort of heartfelt moment that the old lady should handle?
Grandfather Yu was a little frustrated by his wife's "timidity."
They were just one step away...
So why was she backing down now?
Grandma Yu glared at Grandfather Yu.
So what if she was timid?
That was why she was making the brave Grandfather Yu do it.
Hurry up.
Grandma Yu urged him on.
Don't drag your feet.
Grandfather Yu: ...
But he wasn't very good at these heartfelt conversations.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Before either of the two elders could speak, the child spoke first.
The two elders both jolted.
What?
"I..."
The child pressed her lips together. "Will I... never see Mom and Dad again?"
The two elders froze.
Grandma Yu drew a deep breath.
Her expression was calm.
Warmth and tenderness flowed quietly in her eyes.
"Yes."
"After that car accident two years ago, Lele could no longer see her parents."
"..."
The child pressed her lips together tightly.
She didn't say a word.
"Mom and Dad can't come to see you..."
Xiao Xiao smiled gently. "But you can go see them."
