Chapter 588: 588
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 glass 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 .
