The Smell of a Mother

"Let go," Shen Yu said in a muffled voice. Looking at Emily, he could not help but feel a little sorry for her.

"Good child, you didn't do anything wrong. You just protected yourself. You did the right thing."

Second Aunt held Emily in her arms, feeling sorry for her. Emily leaned against Second Aunt. She could always feel the smell of her mother from Second Aunt. She felt a little nostalgic.

"But... But I lied." The more Emily spoke, the sadder she became. Would Second Aunt not like her because of this? Did Shen Yu also think that she was a bad person?

"Millie, although lying is wrong, because lying can protect yourself and Xiao Yu, will you still refuse to lie because it's wrong?"

"No, because I have to protect my brother."

Then, Emily looked up at Second Aunt and said firmly, "I also have to protect Second Aunt."
