h4Chapter 449: Chapter 448 Unable to Fall in Love with Someone Again (14)/h4

    She had thought that it was only Shi Che who wanted her to leave because, after all, Shi Che disliked her and didn’t want to see her, which seemed normal. But it turned out that her elder sister, too, wished for her to leave and also did not want... to see her.

    Because she loved her elder sister, she was willing to do anything for her, even if it meant enduring three years of humiliation withoutint, never protesting in front of her.

    But now... she couldn’t wait to force her out.

    A sour feeling slowly welled up from the depths of her heart, her eyes suddenly grew red, and it felt as though something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from speaking.

    On the other end of the phone, Ling Yunshu continued, "I know I’m being selfish, and I’m very sorry, but Xiaxia, please understand me. Shi Che and I have already missed out on three years, and I don’t want anything to affect our rtionship anymore. Xiaxia, I’m begging you, please, just this once agree to your sister’s request. I promise, once you’re in the United States, whether you want to study or work, your sister will arrange everything for you."

    "Sister... I..."

    "Xiaxia, do you really want your sister to kneel before you and beg?"

    All the words that she wanted to say were forced back, and she found that she could no longer voice her unwillingness or discontent.

    Her elder sister was the only family she had in this life, the most important person in her heart. Three years ago, she had already taken her happiness, and how could she now once again disrupt her?

    Ling Chuxia suppressed the choking in her throat and managed to squeeze out one word, "Okay."

    Once the word was spoken, she abruptly ended the phone call, covered her mouth with one hand, and tears broke through uncontrobly.

    -

    In the afternoon, Ling Chuxia returned to the orphanage for a visit.

    Ever since Mrs. Shi had taken the two sisters to the Shi Family, she had strictly forbidden them from going back to the orphanage and made them sever all tiespletely.

    Because Mrs. Shi was concerned about appearances, naturally, she did not want people in her social circle to gossip about the Miss of the Shi Family being taken from an orphanage, and she imed to the outside world instead that they were the orphaned daughters of a close friend.

    While Ling Yunshu had truly never returned, Ling Chuxia was always rebellious and would quietly go back because the orphanage director had taken great care of her when she was there. She liked the director very much and felt as if she was her own grandmother.

    However, in the past few years, as she tentatively maintained her marriage, she had little opportunity to visit the director at the orphanage. Tomorrow, she would have to leave, and perhaps she would never have the chance to return. Before leaving, she still wanted to see the director.

    She bought a lot of fruits, clothes, and toys and took them to the orphanage.

    When she arrived, the director was sitting in the courtyard, watching a group of children ying, her face adorned with a warm and kind smile. A sharp-eyed child saw her and shouted happily, "Sister Xiaxia, Sister Xiaxia is here!"

    With that call, everyone’s eyes suddenly turned towards Ling Chuxia. Ling Chuxia took a few steps closer, stood still, and smiled, "Kids, I’m here."

    "Wow, Sister Xiaxia!" The children screamed together, rushing toward her and hugging Ling Chuxia tightly.

    Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but squat down, opening her arms to embrace the group of children while the director, sitting there, showed a sh of surprise in her eyes and slowly stood up.

    Ling Chuxia handed the items she was carrying to the children, speaking softly, "Go ahead and share them, be good now," and after that, she stood up and walked towards the director.
