Now that her sister-in-law was in trouble, it meant half of her brother's life was gone…
Leaning on the window, Qin Chu sighed.
He took out a cigarette, but Qin Ning grabbed it from his fingers before he could put it to his mouth.
"No smoking. Doctor's order."
"Only one."
"No." Qin Ning was firm.
"I'm a doctor; I know what's okay," Qin Chu explained patiently.
"Absolutely not. Big Brother, please stop it, okay? It hurts me to see you like this." Tears fell from her eyes.
"I'm fine, really. I will find Mian; I will."
Qin Chu's voice was soft as if he was trying to comfort Qin Ning and himself.
