Chapter 497: It Turns Out It Was Him (2)

——I'm sorry, Older Sister, you don't know how much I've missed you over the years, how much I wished you could discipline me, scold me, and hold me like you do now.

——I'm sorry, Older Sister, trust me, from now on, I won't let anyone mistreat you again.

——I'm sorry, Older Sister, from now on, let me bear the burdens for the both of us, okay?
