Chapter 54: The peace within

• The thought of never again having the same bonds with his family scared Yul as he gripped the phone. The fear might have been evident from his face and Zeng once again let him know that he was there.
• The doctor lifted Yul's hand and kissed his knuckles, grazing his thumb over them. He might not know what they had been talking but he knew it was hard for Yul and he would be here for him, effectively chasing his fears away as Yul smiled back a little.

She sobbed through the phone.
