Gu Juexi stroked his wife's head lovingly. He surveyed their surroundings again, estimating how long they would take to cross this forest to their next destination.
"I'm worried about Mom. Xixi and Xicheng too, do you think they're okay? We've been away for too long," Ye Yuwei muttered in dismay as she lowered her gaze.
Gu Juexi was more concerned about Gu Tianmu. He could see how seriously injured Gu Tianmu was despite only glancing at his injury.
"There will be people there once we cross this forest, we'll get in touch with them once we're there," Gu Juexi remarked and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Gu Juexi, are you really not going back?" Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.
Gu Juexi could tell what she meant.
He sat next to her and leaned against a big tree. "Sometimes it's not up to me to make that call."
