Chapter 431 - Make A Headline
After finally convincing their parents to leave together, the twins spent a mont in silence. It didn’t last long because Bao’s hand went to Juan’s ear and he pulled it. He had been thinking of doing it for a while now. This girl really was testing his patience! She didn’t even think how her sickness would affect the ones who love her.
"Ah! Bro!" she scread in pain. "I’m sick!" She used her ultimate weapon right now. After all, she could feel her brother’s displeasure very well.
With that one sentence, she managed to slip out of his grasp. But Bao didn’t stop glaring at her, "If you have sothing on your mind, can’t you talk to about it? Why keep it inside? Usually, you love bothering , can’t co to for sothing like this?" He was really upset when the doctors said she might have gotten sick because of stress. She always shared everything with him. No matter how useless the things on her mind would be, she’d share them with him. But didn’t co for such an important talk!
Juan looked at him pitifully, "How is it my fault?" She took a mont to observe her brother’s expressions, before asking, "Were you worried about ?" She knew he was, it was written all over his face but she still had to ask him.
"What do you think?" he retorted trying to sound as angry as he could.
"Did you cry?" her expression right now really made Bao want to smack her. She really couldn’t believe it that he cried because of her. It was shocking because he wouldn’t even frown when he himself would get hurt playing soccer. But now, he cried for her.
"I didn’t," he replied.
She laughed out, "You did! Zhu Bao cried like a baby! Hahaha! This should make a headline."
"You’re about to beco a headline yourself," he told her ruining her happiness.
"But I didn’t! I’m still alive and kicking."
Bao shook his head before hugging her, "Idiot! For a minute I really thought I’d lose you."
Juan pressed her lips together guiltily. "Sorry!"
"What’s your apology gonna do? You just get well soon. This depressing place can’t handle my sister’s bright aura."
Juan smiled at him, "Okay. I’ll get better as soon as possible. Then I’ll dazzle to the point that you’ll have to squint while looking at ." She took a pause and added, "By the way, don’t you think our parents are difficult?"
"Difficult is an understatent," said Bao while shaking his head. Then he rubbed her head and continued, "And you! You chose quite a mont to open your eyes, eh?" Juan smiled sheepishly as he went on, "Mom and dad might have missed since they were worried, I’m not an idiot you can fool with your acting. You woke up right when mom ca inside. Why did you wait so long to get up?"
She cleared her throat. She should have expected that her brother would have noticed. "That was mom’s mont. How could I interrupt?" She looked at him and questioned, "But when did you notice that I’m awake?"
"When I ca over to hug mom," answered Bao honestly. "I can’t believe dad. Seriously, if you’re so worried about your wife’s tears, hug her yourself!"
"Is dad really angry with mom?" questioned Juan cautiously.
"Super mad," replied Bao. "I’m afraid they might get into a fight."
"Then why did you send dad with her?"
"Because it’d be good if they get into a fight. At least, they’ll talk to each other. Because right now, dad seems to want to play the silence card. That won’t get us anywhere."
"What’s the guarantee he’ll talk now?"
Bao smirked at her, "Dear sister, you’re really underestimating our mom’s effect on dad, eh? She’s quite persistent when she wants to be. I’m trusting her right now. I gave her the opportunity, it’s up to her how she is gonna cash it."
"You did it?" repeated Juan. "I was the one who asked her to go ho and cook a al. Half the credit goes to !"
Bao ruffled her hair, "You take all the credit. I don’t want it. Just don’t ever scare like this."
Juan tugged at his sleeve saying, "If you kept acting like this, people might start calling you sis-con."
"I don’t mind," was his response.
"So, give so updates," she eagerly said.
"What updates? I’ve been stuck in the hospital. Don’t know anything." He tried to shrug her off offhandedly.
"Don’t play this ga with ! Being my brother, you need to stay updated!"
"I have the biggest news for you," he started.
"What? What is it?"
He poked her head saying, "Dad cried buckets because of you. So, get your act together! Is this your age to pull such a stunt? What are you 3? Getting hurt by a few words? I’m ashad to call you my sister."
Juan pushed him, "It’s not like I cared about what mom said to ! I was thinking how because of dad was hurt. In the morning, didn’t you hear what grandmother said to him? It made really angry! If it’s my fault everyone should talk to , why go to my dad?"
"Juju," he called out. "But if you get upset like this over everything and get yourself to the hospital, who is gonna be there with dad? Aren’t we supposed to be helping him out? Why make it worse?"
"This ti it’s my fault, I accept," she said. "It’s just that a classmate of mine was talking about how her parents are getting a divorce and she’ll have to choose between her mom and dad. It really scared . After all, it was the first ti mom didn’t even make breakfast for us. I really thought she was also leaving us."
"Such a tiny brain and such heavy thoughts..."
Both Bao and Juan were stunned to hear that familiar voice.
