"Mai, I don't think you can follow me anymore," Kate said.
Mai held her breath instantly. She didn't know if she heard it right and asked, "W—What do you mean? Did I do something wrong?"
Mai hugged Kate as tight as she could and said, "I don't know what I did wrong, but please don't say something like that to me, Kate. You know that I see you as my sister. You are my only family!"
"We are a family, Mai, will always be," Kate smiled. "But you're not going to be happy following me around like this. It's my fight with Henry. You shouldn't be involved in the first place."
"But—"
"Mai, listen to me," Kate grabbed Mai's shoulder and pushed her up to her arm's length. She stared at the woman whom she saw as her little sister. Mai was crying, thinking that she had been abandoned.
