Lu Xuan closed his eyes for a second, trying to think clearly despite the storm rising in his chest. He was thousands of miles away, but he could still do something.
"Xiaobao," he said gently, "who is at home with you now?"
"No one… just Butler Uncle," Lu Xun replied quietly.
Lu Xuan took a breath and spoke as calmly as he could, "Okay. Listen to Gege. I'm going to call your Yunyun jie. She will come to stay with you while I book a flight to come home."
But Lu Xun's voice rose in protest, tears welling up again. "I don't want Yunyun jie! I want my own Jiejie. I want to see Dad."
Lu Xuan softened further, trying to reason with him like a big brother should. "Xiaobao, I know. I want to see Dad too. But listen to me, okay? If Xiulan jie stays with you, who will go to the hospital?"
