When we reached the room and I saw Gu Min lying there, tears started to fill my eyes. The soft beeps of the machines to which he was hooked up, and the white bandage that was wrapped around his head were horrifying.
Auntie Yilian almost collapsed before Mu Kai sat her down in the chair. He looked over at me as the tears streamed down my face. As Auntie Yilian reached over and ran her hand across Gu Min cheek, Mu kai came over and pulled me into him.
"He's going to be okay," he said as he kissed my head.
Yes, I needed to be strong, and I couldn't let Auntie Yilian see me fall apart here. So I pulled back from Mu Kai, kissed him, and told him I'd be right back. When I found the nearest bathroom, I stood and stared at my tear-soaked eyes.
