Episode: Remorseful?

“What have you done to this girl, Albert?” said the man in a whisper to himself, looking at the little girl with pity.

She looked so vulnerable.

Albert hesitantly touched the girl's shoulder. He shook it delicately and said, “Rosa, wake up. You need to take your medicine.”

This was the first time the man, who always roared and shouted, spoke in such a soft tone of voice. He would only use this tone of voice towards his sister Clara.

Rosa seemed to come to its senses a little. But she was still dizzy. The poor girl had gotten very sick, but she chose not to tell anyone. And even if she did, who would be worried about her? Hadn't her family abandoned her? Although she was never in a real family...

Suddenly it seemed like someone was saying her name. The poor girl couldn't distinguish the sound because of her throbbing head.

Who was calling her? She didn't actually care. Her throat was dry. Her lungs felt like they were on fire. She barely tried to speak, swallowing through her dry mouth.

“Water… Please give water…”

At that moment, someone immediately held a glass of water to her mouth. A delicate hand held the back of her head without hurting her at all. He lifted her head slightly and helped her drink her water. Then she heard that voice again. He was telling her to take medicine. Suddenly, a very bitter taste appeared in her mouth.

“It's so disgusting,” Rosa said to herself, grimacing. Suddenly, she seemed to hear a wheezing sound of smiling.

“You should drink it, little girl, even if it's disgusting,” someone said as she laid her head on the pillow.

Who was this speaking?

Her eyes were still closed.

Could it be Clara?

She tried to open her eyes slowly, but the room was pitch black, or her eyes refused to see around her, and as a result she saw darkness everywhere. Suddenly the owner of that voice spoke again.

“You must go to sleep. Thoroughly relax. Do you understand me little girl? I think, yeah.”

Rosa felt her head among the soft pillows again, and someone gently covered her. She could barely say “Uh-huh.”

She was very tired. She wanted to sleep.

She wanted to sleep and never wake up...

...****************...

The next day, Rosa came to her senses. She felt better now that she had a good night’s sleep.

She had a conversation with Clara, who was like her younger sister. The little girl was still blaming herself. She was upset that she was not with her sister that night.

Rosa was surprised. Because at night someone was with her and took care of the herself.

If that person wasn’t Clara, then who was?

Time passed so quickly that the little girl finally remembered that she had to go to school. When she was going to say goodbye to her sister, Rosa asked her to bring the drawing book that she had left on the balcony last night.

Clara immediately left the room to fetch the drawing book. After running out of the room, Clara reached the balcony. Her sisterin-law’s sketchbook lay on the wooden table. As soon as she took the notebook, she rah to her sister’s room again.

“Why are you running around like this?” asked someone. “Aren't you late for school? Why are you still at home?”

Clara looked at her brother, “Yes, I know. I'm already late. Let me give this notebook to my sister and then I will leave!” she replied hastily.

Looking at the notebook in his sister's hand, Albert immediately said, “Give it to me, I'll give it to her. You go to school. Do not be late.”

Clara grimaced and said, “This might not be a good idea.” What had happened to her brother? He was suddenly eager to go to her sister. “It's best if I give it to her…”

“Clara... My beautiful sis, don't you make me angry in the morning?” Everyone in this house wanted to prevent him from getting close to his wife. This made Albert even more angry. It's not like he's going to eat the girl wherever he sees her! Out of spite, he also wanted to enter that girl's room.

Clara, “Brother… please don't.. Ah! Hey!”

Before she could even finish her speech, Albert took the notebook from his sister's hand. Clara was looking at her brother in surprise.

“Brother, what are you doing! Give me this notebook!” “Watch out, my little pony! Don’t make me a bad demon huh? Be my good girl okay?” “Brother! Oh, you are so tall!”

The little girl's older brother held his arm upwards. Of course, because of the man's two-meter height, Clara could not reach the drawing book no matter how much she jumped. Finally, she got angry and said, "Brother, give me the notebook! My sister is waiting! I am not joking now! Give it to me!”

The man took a few steps away from his sister and waved his index finger in the air towards her.

“Clara go to school! Come on! March march! Listen your big brother okay?” Then he quickly passed his sister and said, “Don't you dare come after me! This wouldn't be good for you!”

He warned sternly one last time.
