Come Home, My Lily

Lily suffered from a terminal illness yet was deeply misunderstood by her brother Ethan for seven years. Ethan always thought she was willful and immature, treating her with cold detachment. Only after Lily’s passing did he uncover the truth of her years of suffering and forbearance, as well as all the gentle moments he had rejected. Regret consumed him, but the sister who once called him brother was gone forever. Late understanding brings irreparable regret. Those who fail to cherish will carry lifelong guilt.
