"Brother, I really miss my sister. Grandpa used to braid her hair every day, and I would go fishing with her. But then bad people killed her. Grandpa said the village chief would make me another sister, but I don't want anyone else. I only want my original sister."
Maxwell suddenly started to sob softly.
"Grandpa always cries secretly because the people he saved killed my sister. He thought I was asleep, but I wasn't. Brother, do you think my sister will ever come back? I really miss her. I used to bully her and pinch her cheeks, and I wouldn't let her play with my wooden horse. If she comes back, I'll give her all my toys."
"Sister will come back one day, and brother will protect you both, not letting anyone hurt you. Brother promises with all his strength not to let anyone bully you."
Ethan Smith felt a bit bitter inside and hugged the softly sobbing little boy.
