Male citizen: Thank you, Sabine.

Sabine: You're welcome, Dad.

Female citizen: Thank you for letting us talk to you. We're... we're sorry that it's like this. When we heard your voice when we talked to you on the phone, and I just... I knew I had to talk to you.

Sabine: I have one question to ask you both. Why did you give me and Shu Yin up for adoption?

Female citizen: We love you and Shu Yin very much still, we just... a lot was going on at the time.

Male citizen: Really, we didn't think we would give you two the life, that we knew you two deserve.

Female citizen: You see Sabine... I was sick for a long time. Then, when I got pregnant with you and Shu Yin, I got worse.

Sabine: Oh, I didn't know that.

Female citizen: To be honest, I almost didn't make it through the delivery of Shu Yin.

Male citizen: Yes, that was a very scary night.

Female citizen: And then I knew I was gonna be sick for a long time. But I wasn't sure for how long.

Male citizen: And then I had to give up my job to take care of her, it's just... it wouldn't been a good life for both of you. But we thought about you guys every day.

Female citizen: Every single day.

Sabine: Wow, I... I don't know what to say. This is kind of a shock. So, does this mean that you're all better now?

Female citizen: For the most part, yes.

Sabine: So, after what happened, do you have any more kids?

Male citizen: Actually, we did.

Sabine: Wait, I have siblings?!

Female citizen: Yes. You have 2 sisters and a brother.

Male citizen: Yeah, we had triplets. That was a surprise! *He took a sip of his herbal tea. *

Sabine: Wow, a set of triplets. And they're mine and Shu Yin's siblings. We're big sisters?

Female citizen: Yes, you are. *She placed her hand over Sabine's hand. * And they want to meet you two if that's alright with you.

Sabine: Uh... yes. U-u-uh, this is all too much. I think I need to go lay down for a little bit.

Female citizen: Of course, we're so sorry to surprise you like this. Yan, let's go. We'll let Sabine rest, we'll come back tomorrow if that's alright.

Sabine: Um... sure. Wait, I don't even know your name.

Female citizen: Oh my goodness. You're right, I'm so sorry. In all of the commotion of everything, we didn't even tell you who we were.
