Huobai was looking out of the window at the gray skies. It was pouring outside and the grayness of the world was really similar to his heart. Depressing.
Usually, Huobai loved the rain. Especially storms, when the stuffy air would clean up and leave a pleasant breeze after that. But today. It wasn't like it.
It started raining ever since he got admitted to the hospital and hadn't stopped since then. And what was worse... he was fearing the outcome of this operation.
He and his family were told that they wouldn't take out the whole bone protuberance, but only a biopsy to see if it was cancerous or not. Because Huobai was still growing, they would only observe it if it wasn't malign.
His mother took his hand and squeezed it to comfort him. He turned to her to see her worried expression.
