"They need my care too."
Luke shook his head, "Your reason is not sufficient. If Kunni'er had just started having problems, you should have contacted the foster center immediately. That would have been Kunni'er's problem, not yours.

Please, don't tell the foster center.
We never expected things to turn out this way. Kunni'er was different from the other children; we really tried our best."
"No!"
