Chapter 583
Fia knelt to be at eye level with the little girl.
“What’s wrong, pretty lady?” The little girl tilted her head to the side, not understanding why Fia suddenly had a
serious look on her face.
“Darling, you’ve misunderstood.”
“What did I misunderstand?”
“Your mommy is not only worried about your brother. She doesn’t want you to be impressive just to protect him
either.”
The little girl frowned.
“But she does worry about my brother a lot.”
“She worries about you and loves you too. The both of you are equal to her.”
“Really? But… She always gives all the good things to my brother first.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer younger brother shifted uneasily when he heard that and tried to pull his hand out of the little girl’s tight grip.
Fia looked at the two children and gently patted the little girl’s hand. Then, she pulled out the boy’s hand, held the
hands of the two children in her own, and placed them on top of each other.
“You were born on the same day, perhaps because your fates were tied together for many lifetimes. You should
love and care for each other for the rest of your lives. You are both equals, but no one should ask either of you to
cater to the other.”
Though the little girl hid it well, Fia was observant enough to feel the rejection she had for her younger brother on
the inside.
“It’s not like what you said,” the little girl said, her innocent smile no longer present, and she was now somewhat
anxious. “Daddy said Mommy is tired from taking care of my little brother, so I need to be sensible and help take
care of him.”
Fia’s heart trembled fiercely for a moment as she was at a loss for words.
Sometimes, words unintentionally spoken by adults would become a lifelong burden for children. When they were
young and unable to resist, the older would cater to the younger sibling. Or in families that placed more importance
on boys, it would force the daughters of the family to take care of the sons. When they grew up, the situation would
then backfire on the family.
“Darling,” Fia turned to the boy and gently asked, “Do you like your sister?”
The little boy looked at the little girl, seemingly a little afraid and hesitant, but ultimately, he nodded firmly.
“I love my sister!”
“My, what a good child you are,” Fia praised. “Do you want your sister to be happy?”
This time, the little boy nodded vigorously without hesitation.

The little girl sniffed and said with a hint of disdain, “Do you even know what that means?”
“Yes!” the little boy exclaimed confidently, pointing to his eyes. “When there are stars in the eyes!” The five years
old little girl had been made to always look out for her brother, so she was more mature and sensitive. As such, the
boy’s words inevitably caused a bitter feeling to swell up in her heart as tears filled her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFia felt her heart ache for the two children before her. They were born from the same womb, and were the only
ones there for each other. They would experience many things on their own as they grew up. If the adults in their
life guided them well, they would become each other’s support and comfort in life.
But if the adults didn’t, they would be lost from each other forever, and that would be a pity.
If Fia’s child hadn’t left, if…
There were no ifs… only the future.
In the future, she will have her own children. She would teach them to love and cherish each other.
“Darlings,” Fia said as she gathered the two children in her arms and hugged them, patting their backs as she did.
“You should love each other more, especially you, young man. As a man, you should care for and protect your
sister a little more. Your sister is a girl. Girls are made of water, and they get hurt easily.”
Tears slid down the little boy’s face when he heard that, and he said, “I-I will protect my sister! I will also give all the
delicious food to her in the future!”
“Stupid! Who wants you to protect me?! If anything happens to you, Mommy and Daddy will get angry at me!” the
little girl exclaimed and burst out crying.
Not far away, Mary was stunned and stood rooted to the spot.
