Irene was a blotchy mess as she kept wailing while trying to talk to her elder sister. She hugged Leslie tight while crying on the latter's lap.
"W-when did you wake up? Sob sob... Big Sister... I missed you so much..."
"I thought... sob sob... you wouldn't wake up at all... sob sob..."
"Waaa! I wanna kill Sarah! How dare she do this to you?!"
"Ah! You know what, many things happened at home."
Being shocked was an understatement. Irene never foresaw interacting with her elder sister when she requested to come here.
After three months, her beloved elder sister seemed to lose so much weight. Her sunken cheeks and bony frame told Irene how sick she was.
Would her elder sister return to her healthy state?
When would it be?
How should she tell their parents once she got back later today?
Many thoughts swirled in Irene's mind as tears continued rolling down her cheeks.
