She feared that Mai Xiaomai would sever the sisterly bond with her from now on.
Then, what would she do in the future?
Without Mai Xiaomai's support, she might not even be able to go to Yafeng's place, nor could she attend school, and all she had left was this scarred, battered appearance...
Thinking of this, she panicked and cried out urgently, "Sister, sister, I'm sorry, I only spoke like that because I wasn't feeling well..."
Sitting outside, Mai Xiaomai heard her cries.
However, it still couldn't ease her cold heart.
When Mai Duoduo said those words earlier, whether it was her gaze or anything else, it was filled with extreme resentment.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew there was definitely some truth in it.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have adopted Duoduo in the first place.
Perhaps, it was her fault for adopting someone and failing to protect them properly, failing to ensure they found true happiness and joy both physically and mentally.
