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.

“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.”
Her 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 sday, 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 beca 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.

“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.
Fia felt her heart ache for the two children before her. They were born from the swomb, 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 beceach 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.
