"Uh..." Ning Shouzheng was stunned, clearly he hadn't expected him to know too, and the first thought that came to his mind was, "Have you... have you always been paying attention?"
Ning Zhiqian shook his head, "No. But you and Mom haven't argued for a long time, and this time it's gotten this bad, even a ghost would know why!"
Ning Shouzheng was silent for a while, sighing, "Since you know, there's no point hiding it from you, she... she's sick."
Ning Zhiqian knew but didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
But when he didn't speak, Ning Shouzheng also didn't know how to continue. Many things were difficult to articulate; he needed someone else to broach the subject to continue. So, after a pause, he counter-asked, "Why don't you ask what sickness she has?"
