“If my sister finds out about this, she would be furious. No, I need to go in and talk to Guo Kai.”

Jiahao couldn't hold back any longer and broke free from my hand.

“Lu Hong, what are you doing? Bullying a child? Don't you even have the decency of an adult?”

Pointing at Lu Hong, Jiahao walked out.

Seeing him appear, Lu Hong was clearly taken aback, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.

“Jiahao, what are you doing here!”

Guo Kai stepped out of the room, his clothes still somewhat disheveled.

From his expression, he didn't seem to expect this situation either.

“Kai, I wanted to ask you. Don't you know what illness Jia Jia has? Is this how you treat her?”

Looking at Guo Kai at that moment, my impression of him changed.

He was a completely different person compared to how he treated Jia Jia before; his true colors were finally showing.

But thinking about it, maybe this could be a turning point for us.

“Kai, we're here to take Jia Jia. Her mom wants to see her one last time.”

Seeing me step out, Guo Kai frowned, his face changing instantly.

But seeing how we spoke, he had no reason to refuse, and just watched us as we took Jia Jia away.

“Brother Xuan, let's take the child to get something to eat first.”

“No, we're going to the detention center now, to take her to see her mom.”

“To see my sister! At least let her eat and change her clothes first. Just look at her now.”

Jiahao pointed at Jia Jia, who was filthy all over, her little face covered in dirt,

tear-streaked, and when she wiped her eyes, her face looked like a little tabby cat.

“No need, I want her to look just like this. I want to see what your sister thinks when she sees this.”

Though he didn't know why I wanted to do this, he did not refuse.

When she saw the child for the first time, tears started to flow as she came excitedly to the glass.

But when she saw the child in this state, her expression became bewildered, and she glanced up at the two of us.

“Sister Lan, do you want to know why the child looks like this? To be honest, if we hadn't arrived in time, she might not have had dinner tonight.”

Her reaction was as I expected, and it was exactly what I wanted.

“How could this be? Where is Guo Kai? Wasn't he the one taking care of Jia Jia?”

“Sister Lan, I'll ask you one last time, is this really unrelated to him? You have to tell me the truth, he is not as good as you think.”

She knew who I was referring to, and she fell silent, seemingly making a decision.

“Today, Jiahao and I were originally going to find Guo Kai, but...”

I told her everything that happened today, though I didn't mention anything about Lu Hong.

“Guo Kai, how could he do this? He promised me he would take good care of Jia Jia!”

Her emotions became agitated, and tears uncontrollably flowed down her face.

I knew I had finally broken through her last line of defense, and now only the final step remained.

“Isn't it because of this that you're not telling us the truth?”

Once again, I took out that report and pointed to the blood type on it.

“As far as I know, leukemia requires long-term treatment, which is quite expensive, and it needs blood transfusions. Jia Jia has a rare blood type; in your eyes, only Guo Kai can save her. That's the main reason you're taking the blame for him, isn't it?”

She didn't reply, just nodded.

At this point, there was no need to hide anything from me.

I took out another medical report and pressed it against the glass.
