36: Chapter 36: I Will Find a Way to Take You Away 36: Chapter 36: I Will Find a Way to Take You Away Seeing his little shoulders shudder, An Ruo felt even worse.
She held back the tears in her eyes, stepped forward, and only then saw that An Ji was holding a family portrait.
In the photo were their parents, An Ji who was not yet a year old, and herself with two pigtails, smiling foolishly.
It was the only photo of their family that had been preserved.
When An Ji heard footsteps, he turned and saw it was his sister; he imdiately panicked and wiped the tears off his face.
“Sister, why are you here?”
An Ruo sat down beside him, grabbed his arm, and looked him over anxiously, “I heard Uncle hit you.
Where did he hit you?
Where are you hurt?”
“Sis, I’m fine…” An Ji hastily denied, but when An Ruo’s hand touched his back, he couldn’t help but gasp in pain.
An Ruo quickly pulled back his clothes and saw several bright red welts on his pale, thin back.
The person who had hit him had used a lot of force, An Ji’s skin was torn, and traces of fresh blood seeped out.
An Ruo hadn’t expected his injuries to be so severe.
She abruptly covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud.
With his back to her, An Ji did not turn around.
“Sis, I really am fine…
I was being naughty, and that’s why Uncle hit …”
An Ruo turned and left.
After a while, she returned with a box of dicine.
Using a cotton swab dipped in ointnt, An Ruo gently applied it to his wounds.
During this, both siblings remained silent.
After finishing applying the dicine, An Ruo told him, “Don’t take a bath for two days.
I will co every day to change your dressing.
Rember to take the anti-inflammatory dicine, and don’t let the wound get worse.”
“Sis…
I’m sorry for making you worry again.” An Ji turned around, his head lowered in apology.
An Ruo held his hand, looking down as she asked him, “Why did Uncle hit you?”
“…”
“Xiao Ji, don’t hide it from .”
After thinking for a mont, An Ji said, “…After I ca back that day, Uncle scolded , then he told to get out of the An Family, and I got angry and ran away…
I stayed at a classmate’s house for two days.
Uncle found , dragged back, and then he hit .
Sis, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have run away, I shouldn’t have made you worry…”
An Ruo held his hand tightly and made up her mind.
She took out two thousand yuan from her money and gave it to An Ji, “Take this, and use it if you need more.
Xiao Ji, I’ve decided, I’m going to take you away from here.
Wait for , I’ll figure out a way to get us out as soon as possible.”
An Ji looked up sharply, his eyes shining, “Really?”
“Yes, trust !”
An Ruo stayed in An Ji’s room for a long ti before leaving.
She asked Aunt Chen for help to take extra care of An Ji and even insisted on giving Aunt Chen a thousand yuan.
At the mont of departure, An Xin just happened to co back.
Seeing An Ruo there too, she paused, then crossed her arms and looked at her with a faint sneer, “An Ruo, what are you doing here?”
Before she had gained An Ji’s guardianship, An Ruo wouldn’t easily offend them.
She replied indifferently, “I ca to see An Ji.”
An Xin leaned against the wall, scoffing with disdain, “Your heart is always with your useless brother, no wonder you can’t even keep a man.
An Ruo, with the ti you’ve got, you’d be better off focusing on your man.
Just rember, without him, you’d be nothing, have nothing.”
An Ruo didn’t understand the aning behind her words, nor did she ask further.
“I’m going back now.”
