By the time Yuan Mo's bone was finally back in place, Gu Juexi's shirt was already soaked with his tears. He was still gripping the hem of Ye Yuwei's blouse, sobbing and gasping for breath.
Master Yao Lao applied medication on Yuan Mo's ankle who was exhausted from crying.
Master Yao Lao put her equipment back into her bag and sighed. "Every time his parents called home he would say he doesn't miss them. How could he not yearn for his mom when he is at such a tender age?"
Ye Yuwei wiped away Yuan Mo's tears and met Gu Juexi's gaze. "His parents are in the army. They have not been back for over a year."
Hearing Ye Yuwei's words, Gu Juexi changed his mind and did not voice out his thoughts. He looked at the boy sleeping in his embrace.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi, knowing that the army was an off-limits topic. The people in the army were only in debt to their own family.
