The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 588 - Your Girl is Waiting For You VII

Ye Yuwei controlled her emotions quickly and brought Master Yao Lao back to the room. She prepared clothes for Master Yao Lao and helped her out of the bathroom after she cleaned up.

“Please rest here for now, Master Yao Lao. It’s his duty as a soldier so you don’t owe him. Also, we are really sorry about He Liao,” said Ye Yuwei softly. Although what happened to He Liao had nothing to do with her, Ye Yuwei thought she should apologize on Gu Juexi’s behalf.

Master Yao Lao leaned on the bedside and looked at Ye Yuwei who lowered her eyes. “I know my son sacrificed for the country, but he was my only son, and he was gone just like that.”

Ye Yuwei continued looking down. “Master Yao Lao, Gu Juexi and I will do anything to compensate you for He Liao but my daughter is innocent. Please, would you please treat my daughter?”

Master Yao Lao listened to Ye Yuwei and gripped her wrist as she was going to kneel down. “He Liao talked about his captain the most every time he called me. He Liao was a conceited boy and Gu Juexi was the first person he had ever respected, and I saw today how Gu Juexi had earned my son’s respect,” said Master Yao Lao as she tilted her head to look at Xixi who was standing beside the bed.

Xixi was pouting and holding her brother’s hand. She stumbled as she walked, and tried her best to maintain her balance.

“This child was lucky. You must have been in contact with some rare and radioactive elements that altered her genes when you were pregnant with her. An illness like this won’t go away just because her genes are altered. Her life is not endangered but the chances for her to recover completely are extremely low.”

Ye Yuwei listened to Master Yao Lao and heaved a sigh of relief. “All I want is for her to live.”

She couldn’t ask for more.

“It is not an easy job. The treatment will be long term, or even forever,” warned Master Yao Lao.

But Ye Yuwei just laughed and handed a gla.s.s of water that she took from Ye Xicheng to Master Yao Lao. “I will be grateful if she lived. I brought her into this world. It was me who made her life difficult.”

Master Yao Lao listened to Ye Yuwei and was moved by what she said.

“Alright then. I have lived my whole life treating patients, I might as well treat her too. I will treat this child,” said Master Yao Lao.

Ye Yuwei looked at Master Yao Lao in disbelief and stammered, “You…thank you, thank you!” Ye Yuwei thanked Master Yao Lao excitedly and carried Xixi to Master Yao Lao. “Thank Master, Xixi.”

Xixi was astonished by her mother’s sudden excitement but thanked Master Yao Lao obediently.

Ye Xicheng understood how important this was and thanked Master Yao Lao excitedly too for agreeing to treat her sister.

Master Yao Lao looked at them, and felt that she had slowly moved on from He Liao’s death.

Meanwhile, the flood on the hill continued to wreck the village. The steepness of the hill made it a challenging task for the rescue team to carry out their duties.

The rescue team was stuck with their duties by the time Gu Juexi got up to the hill, and the old Red Soldier was still stranded. He was standing on the roof of one of the houses in the village and it was very possible that they would lose him if the flood struck again.

And the only road to the village was now cut off by the flood.
