“I know it was all my fault, I didn’t take good care of her, but please don’t jump to conclusions yet, Master. I am begging you.” Ye Yuwei spoke so quickly that her words slurred.

“Mommy…” Xixi called out softly.

Gu Juexi held Xixi even tighter in his arms, used all his strength to suppress his feelings and slowly kneeled down.

“No matter the verdict, please have a look at our daughter before you make any conclusions, Master,” murmured Gu Juexi, his throat so dry he could taste blood as he talked.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi in shock.

Gu Juexi had kneeled.

He, Gu Juexi, had actually kneeled.

The almighty man had actually kneeled at this moment for his daughter.

Master Yao Lao looked at them and frowned as she pondered.

“You are a soldier?” Master Yao Lao asked suddenly.

“Yes,” Gu Juexi replied, his back ramrod straight even when he was kneeling.

Master Yao Lao tightened her grip on the door frame, then abruptly turned and went into the house and invited them in.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi exchanged looks before she helped him up and they followed Master Yao Lao into the yard.

It was evening already and the sunset lit the yard, giving the herbs that Master Yao Lao had planted a golden glow.

Gu Juexi carried Xixi to a stool and Master Yao Lao sat down opposite her. She looked at Ye Yuwei. “You were injured while pregnant with her?”

“Yes, I fell into the sea and was unconscious for three months, but the doctor said that the babies were fine except for their low fetal heart rate,” Ye Yuwei said quickly.

Master Yao Lao frowned at the information. “Did anything else happen?” Master Yao Lao asked, and even Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei this time.

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and admitted, “They were born one month premature. Xixi’s breathing will stop every once in a while and it has happened five times before.”

Gu Juexi stood beside Ye Yuwei and felt his heart ache as he listened to her.

He never knew what this woman and her children had been through. But as a father and a husband, he had never done anything for them.

Master Yao Lao nodded and reached out to take Xixi’s pulse. Xixi looked at Master Yao Lao with her big eyes. She was not at all afraid of the stranger and looked at the Master smilingly throughout.

Master Yao Lao looked at Xixi fondly and stroked her hair. She let go of Xixi’s hand as she turned to look at Ye Xicheng and beckoned him over. Guessing that Master Yao Lao might want to a.s.sess Ye Xicheng too, Ye Yuwei made Ye Xicheng go over quickly.

Ye Xicheng was clueless about what was going on but approached Master Yao Lao obediently at his mother’s instruction.

Master Yao Lao reached out to hold Ye Xicheng’s arm. Ye Yuwei looked at Master Yao Lao a.s.sessing him, and her nails bit into her palm as she clenched her fists anxiously.

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s hand and saved her palm from her nails but was equally nervous as he looked at Master Yao Lao.

Although Ye Xicheng had been healthy and normal so far, Ye Yuwei couldn’t help but be worried taking into account that he and Xixi were fraternal twins.
