She was genuinely a bit worried now because she noticed Lin Xue's eyes suddenly turned red and two streams of tears fell unconsciously. At such a close distance, she could clearly feel Lin Xue's extreme nervousness and unease.
"Yes, I'm from the countryside, and when I was 17, I dropped out of school and worked in the city, where I met the elderly couple... They had no children and treated me like their own daughter..."
"... Later, the couple fell seriously ill and entrusted the pet shop to me before they passed..." Little Ya explained cautiously.
