Chapter 146 - Goodbyes

Sitting around the lunch table, Aiden looked at his sister with concern in his eyes.

"Are you sure about this, Lily?"

Hearing the question, the blonde girl took a moment to calm her rapidly beating heart. Although she was nervous and slightly afraid of this talk, she was also determined. She had to get stronger in order to be able to not be a burden anymore. She caused far more problems to him already as it is. 

After a few dozen tense seconds, she looked up, matching her brother's gaze. With a determined look on her face, she decisively nodded.

"Yes, brother. I am far too weak compared to you. I found a way to be able to grow up and be able to stand with you. I need to do this, I'm sorry."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Aiden could only acquiesce. His concern turned into acceptance, revealing a faint, brotherly smile.
