After finishing breakfast, Ethan picked up Aria in his arms and was about
to step into the yard when a voice called out —
“Ethan! Oh Ethan, are you home?”
Lila quickly adjusted her scarf and said,
“Ethan, your Uncle Robert is here. Ask him to come inside.”
From the yard, Uncle Robert replied,
“No need, sister-in-law. I won’t sit. I just heard Ethan has come.”
He coughed heavily a few times.
Lila responded,
“Yes, he has.”
After catching his breath, Uncle Robert asked,
“How are you feeling?”
“The same as always… sometimes a little better, then worse again.

“Yes… it’s been quite bad these past few days.”
Ethan stepped forward, touched his uncle’s feet respectfully, and invited him inside.
“No, no… I won’t sit. Haven’t even taken my medicine yet.

“I’m doing well, Uncle.”
Uncle Robert looked at him with a mix of concern and disappointment.
“Tell me something… why are you all like this?
