Mira stood motionless for a moment , Then she spoke without turning around.
"Do you need anything?"
Ryan spoke again in his gruff voice,
"Sit...sit down."
He had difficulty speaking, so his words were halting because he had not yet recovered.
Finally, Mira sat down, but she still didn't look at Ryan.
Ryan got straight to the point because he couldn't talk to much.
"Why?"
Mira didn't understand what he meant.
"Why what?"
But Ryan hadn't finished his sentence yet.
"Why aren't you looking at me?"
Mira flinched at his words.
'Of course he'll notice.'
Mira was flustered but regained her composure after a few moments.
"I just don't want to look at my brother's condition ٫ looking at you breaks my heart."
Her answer was half true ٫ the real reason was her feeling of guilt.
Ryan wants to stop her feeling guilty and the idea that what happened to him was her fault.
Of course, if the situation had occurred three years ago, he wouldn't have cared.
But his mother told him that his older sisters had lost all their money trying to find a cure for him, and that Mira herself had stopped looking for a cure for her illness.
He didn't know the details of his sister's illness; in the past, she showed some signs of being unwell, but now if someone saw her, they would think she was in excellent health.
After Ryan learned what his sisters had done for him, he decided to maintain a good relationship with them.
Therefore, he must first erase the negative feelings from them and also erase the feelings of guilt from them.
Upon waking up, he noticed that his sisters felt guilty; they all felt responsible for what had happened.
Ryan tried his best to get the words out without breaking up.
"What happened...wasn't your fault."
Upon hearing this, Mira looked into his eyes again and noticed some tears forming in her eyes.
But contrary to his belief, his sister became angry and said with a furious expression,
"It was my fault! I saw what happened to you, and they said they were looking for me, so how could it not be because of me?"
'Oh, that damn video'
Logan filmed what happened and left it at the scene so everyone saw what happened to him.
He had heard this from his father. Apparently, no one wanted him to know that they had seen a video of what happened to him, but his father objected and wanted him to know.
'That damned prince, I will make his entire kingdom see what I will do to him.'
Ryan calmed himself down and wanted to find words to soothe his sister.
"And how is it your fault?"
Mira was surprised by his words.
"Of course, because they were looking for me."
Ryan shook his head slowly in refusal.
"Even...if...they knew...where you were, they would kill me."
He would say a word, then rest a little before saying another, and even then he was already tired.
"Those people... wanted revenge... on Liara, I don't know why... they were... looking for you, but they would have killed me... even if I had told them where you were... which I didn't know."
"So don't feel guilty about what happened."
Mira began to shed tears in front of him.
Ryan smiled
Mira was crying, then she hugged Ryan and began swearing to him:
"Next time I won't let anything happen to you, so count on me, okay?"
"Okay, but..."
Upon hearing the word "but," Mira felt nervous.
"My sister...the hug hurts...I haven't fully recovered yet."
Mira left him quickly
"I'm sorry, I forgot."
"But can I hug you again? I won't press against your body."
Ryan sighed and agreed.
"Okay."
Then the sister lovingly hugged her younger brother.
