Lucas gestured for the nurse beside him to take care of Thalia, then left hastily.


    udia was also in agony. She walked over to Thalia defeatedly, wanting to pull her up, but both ended up copsing on the ground together.


    "udia, oh udia. Sob! Tell me this is all fake! They must be lying to me. Everything was fine when we left this morning, and now they''re saying Dad is in a vegetative state. They''re lying to me, right? Tell me!"


    Thalia shook udia repeatedly, who could only cry. She could not ept the truth herself, so how could she convince Thalia to ept it?


    Although Thalia always acted tough toward her dad, they both knew she loved him deeply. Every little prank she pulled was just to get Henry''s attention. She was just a mischievous child.


    ''Thalia must be in unbearable pain for having to face the fact that Dad might never wake up,'' thought udia.


    She hung her head in shame, believing more than ever that it was all her fault that Henry was in a vegetative state. She leaned on Thalia''s shoulder in anguish, ignoring her resistance. At that moment, Thalia was the only family she had left to rely on.


    Lucas remained silent with his fists clenched; he was unsure of how to face this reality. He felt like the outsider, the least qualified to tell them not to be sad. What could he do?


    "I''m really sorry..." His apology was drowned out by the sisters'' cries, and no one responded to his apology.


    After bing a vegetative state, there were still so many things to handle. Since the day her father fell into aa, udia had lost all her smiles.


    Lucas had been there every step of the way, apanying them through all the procedures. He ensured Henry was transferred to the intensive care unit and hired someone to take care of him. He owed them that much, at least.


    Every time they visited their father in the hospital, udia''s face would be awash with endless tears. Thalia, on the other hand, stood beside him with a cold expression. Since that day, she had not spoken a word to her sister.


    She had resented, she had hated, and she had gritted her teeth in anger, but in the end, fate cruelly took away their father. It was at that moment she realized that if heaven could not give her what she wanted, she had to take matters into her own hands.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    After arranging their father''s care,


    the two sisters became like strangers. udia wanted to


    approach her sister and talk to her but seeing her indifferent expression, she slowly fell behind. Eventually, it became a pattern where Thalia walked ahead and udia followed behind.


    However, when they reached home, Thalia suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and started to engage with udia as if she had a sudden epiphany.


    "Are you still taking your depression medication?"


    udia, seeing her sister willing to engage with her, felt happy and did not know what to say. She


    "Um, yeah. I''m still taking it.
