"Sister, what she said, is it true? cough, cough..." Cecil was agitated and he couldn't stop coughing.
Rosa anxiously patted his back as she squatted next to him.
"Cecil, calm down, calm down!"
"Cough cough, sister, cough cough, what she ... cough cough... said... was it... cough cough, true?"
Seeing him like this, Rosa broke down in tears.
"Sister, cough, tell me!" Cecil's eyes turned red and he kept shouting.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, calm down!"
Cecil started taking deep breaths. After coughing for a long time, he finally calmed down.
"You... you said..." Cecil panted as he looked at her, his eyes were still red.
Rosa pinched her own palm with force. It was painful.
But it couldn't compare to the pain in her heart.
She looked up and smiled at him. "Cecil, do you believe me?"
"Yes!"
His word made her burst into tears.
She pinched her thigh with one hand as she forced herself to calm down.
Then, she looked up at him and smiled gently, "I didn't do it!"
Cecil stared at her face for a while, before he finally sighed in relief. "I knew that sister wouldn't do it!"
Rosa did not speak, but her heart felt like it was being stabbed.
She was sorry she couldn't tell him the truth...
"Sister, I saw a lot of web novel sites asking for authors. I want to give it a try. When I earn money in the future, you don't have to work so hard anymore!"
Rosa was stunned and her heart ached even more.
"Cecil, you don't have to do this. Just focus on studying, I..."
"I don't want people to slander you like this!" Cecil was agitated again.
If only he was strong enough, capable enough...
Then no one would be able to hurt them.
Rosa's eyes turned red again. "No, don't worry. I won't... won't let anyone slander me."
Cecil held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, I want to protect you!"
Her tears slid down her cheeks and she smiled. Her heart ached.
