The husband and wife supported each other as they slowly climbed the stairs, disappearing around the landing.
Situ Liunian and Situ Jinse watched their heavy-footed figures from downstairs, realizing that in just one night, they seemed to have aged more than ten years.
Situ Jinse couldn't help but cover her mouth, silently shedding tears.
Situ Liunian held her tightly, squeezing her body close. "It's okay... From now on, we'll take good care of Mom and Dad, have a few more grandchildren for them, and they'll be happy."
Situ Jinse hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, before murmuring a soft "Mm" and nodding her head.
Situ Liunian glanced toward the turn of the stairs, then lowered his head to kiss Situ Jinse.
He believed his parents would soon forget Situ Lanyu.
After all, she wasn't a child they had raised themselves. Although she was their biological daughter, they hadn't personally nurtured her, so the bond was limited.
