Edward Thompson's first reaction was happiness.
But then he became worried.
He worried about Sylvia Thompson's position in the Thompson Family in the future.
After all, if Viola Thompson were to return, Sylvia's position in the family would be somewhat awkward. Moreover, Sylvia herself was relatively sensitive and inferior with a guilt complex towards Viola. He was afraid Sylvia might become depressed as a result.
At this point, Edward still didn't know Viola Thompson was Viola Thompson.
He was even more worried about the temperament of his new sister.
After all, Sylvia was kind-hearted.
What if the new sister bullied Sylvia?
Also, they had not seen each other for eighteen years, and he had no feelings for his new sister.
If the new sister had grown up in the countryside, her level of education would be low, and in some mountain areas, it is common for girls marry and have children at a young age.
