Having long seen through this sad fact, Lian Xi nodded eagerly, making a thick stack of promises until he coaxed his mother into smiling through her tears.
Lian Xi didn't take these verbal promises too seriously.
Even working like crazy at his studies, he still couldn't catch up. If he completely let go, wouldn't the hard-won progress go up in smoke?
Absolutely a fool in liberal arts, Lian Xi, who felt every point was incredibly hard to earn, naturally didn't want his hard-won progress to just flicker out.
But this illness of his really scared the whole family out of their wits.
Lian En, Chenchen, and Xinzhi were filled with guilt on top of their heartache.
They all felt they had pushed Lian Xi too hard, putting too much pressure on him.
Lian En, in particular, who had been quite proud for successfully using reverse psychology, took all the responsibility onto himself.
He sincerely and earnestly apologized to Lian Xi and even turned himself into a full-time caregiver.
