The Mix of Water and Flames (4)

The circumstances surrounding Luo Ju Di's death were natural in its way. The woman was dead now, had died—and should have been long dead. And yet someone suddenly challenged the very notion of it.

"Bring… mama back?" Chunhua asked unsurely.

Even a young child like her knew the finality of death. There was no turning it back—

"Yes." Li Yang nodded at her. "It… hasn't been that long. So maybe if I knew where the creature was heading to and can meet up with it—I can retrieve your mama and bring her back to you." 

"You'll do that for me, Uncle Yang?"

Bao was already giving the CEO aghast and wild gestures behind Chunhua, but Li Yang wasn't having any of it. He squeezed the young girl's shoulder reassuringly and did his best to smile.

"I'll do my best to return her here with you, Chunhua. It's not fair for a young kid to grow up without their loving mother at her side."
