Sorry?
Chu Yin thought she must have misheard; she never expected these three words to come from her mother’s mouth.
In the past, Mrs. Chu only felt sorry for her younger sister Chu Wu.
No matter the mistakes, neither the parents nor Chu Wu would be wrong, let alone apologize.
After snapping back to reality, Chu Yin helped Mrs. Chu into the hospital room.
"Mom, what’s going on? Where’s Chu Wu?"
"After Chu Wu’s condition stabilized, she went out to work with Xuyao. Her treatment cost our family a lot, and your father hoped she would rest for a while before working, but she insisted on going, and your dad has been sulking ever since."
Mrs. Chu wiped her tears.
Chu Yin sneered, "Right, only Chu Wu can affect Dad’s mood in this family."
She wasn’t very disappointed because she had long been accustomed to her parents’ favoritism.
Perhaps sensing her emotions, Mrs. Chu hastily explained.
"Your dad and I have been reflecting a lot recently. We’ve been too partial to Chu Wu over the years, neglecting your feelings."
Mrs. Chu choked, "We’re getting old and increasingly afraid that you’ll drift further away from us."
"Ah Yin, I’m so sorry, Mom is really sorry."
While speaking, Father Chu on the bed also woke up.
He weakly asked, "Is Ah Yin here? Has she finally come to see me? Has she forgiven me? It’s my fault."
Faced with her parents’ remorse, Chu Yin felt a little uneasy.
She instinctively took a step back but was quickly hugged by Mrs. Chu.
Chu Yin stiffened; she couldn’t even remember the last time her mother held her like this.
All these years, she had always longed for her parents’ affection.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wu’s recklessness made her parents remember her virtues.
But Chu Yin was no longer accustomed to such familial warmth and pulled herself out of Mrs. Chu’s embrace.
She quickly walked to the foot of the bed to check the medical records.
"What’s wrong with Dad?"
"Your dad has had the three high conditions for a while, and he was so upset by your sister that he almost..." Mrs. Chu sighed.
Chu Yin put down the medical records and asked, "Has Chu Wu visited yet?"
"She came once, barely said anything, and then just mentioned she had to go to work." Mrs. Chu spoke hesitantly.
Father Chu was furious, "Don’t talk to me about her. She’s always preoccupied with men now; she doesn’t care about us anymore."
Mrs. Chu quickly reassured him, "Don’t say that, or you’ll get sick again."
Looking at the two of them, Chu Yin didn’t want to ask further.
It seemed Mo Xuyao and Chu Wu were pretty inseparable now.
Chu Yin abruptly said, "I happen to know a doctor. I’ll ask him to check your situation."
Just as she turned around, Mrs. Chu quickly held her back.
"Ah Yin, no need. We’ve seen many doctors who said it’s an old issue. Why accrue another favor?"
"We’re getting old. All we wish for is to have our children nearby."
Chu Yin looked at her parents, nodded, but still wasn’t used to their closeness.
She opened her bag and took out her phone, "I don’t have much money, but I’ll cover part of the medical expenses."
She wasn’t a fool. Why should she cover what was purely for Chu Wu’s sake?
Chu Wu was working with Mo Xuyao now, and her salary couldn’t be low.
While transferring the money, Chu Yin noticed an emotion flash across Mrs. Chu’s face out of the corner of her eye.
Looking back, she saw only sadness on Mrs. Chu’s face.
Mrs. Chu said, "Ah Yin, no need. You’ve already given us so much money. We’re not lacking financially. I just hope you’ll come to visit us more and not hold any grudges."
Hearing this, Chu Yin remained silent.
She gave an awkward smile and changed the topic, "Since Dad’s fine now, I’ll take my leave. I’m quite busy lately; I’ll visit when I have the time."
"Okay, okay, I’ll make something delicious for you. Don’t you love sashimi? I’ll buy it in advance for you..."
"I’m not the one who loves sashimi."
Chu Yin put down her phone, not wanting to give a cent.
Initially, she thought about her legal obligation as a daughter, but now she didn’t care.
