Back with bandages

Flare, who was standing outside, heard how his mother was weeping and also took a glimpse of the tears that were fighting hard to escape his Father's reddened eyes.

He felt sad and guilty for troubling his parents this way.

When he left the house, it was never his intention to sadden his family. It was just in the spur of the moment he went out to take a breath of fresh air and leave all the sad thoughts outside.

After going out, he did not expect to see the transformation of a wolf leading him to travel through the painful time of his life once again.

In fact, if he did not meet the old man, who was now his new master, Flare himself did not know when he would have gotten better without the medicines that the old man had given him.

Only now was he feeling sad that his impulsive decision to take a walk in the woods around had given his family such a huge blow that his sweet mother who always looked at him with love was now crying and weeping for his sake.

What made him even sadder was that his mother not only did not blame him for his impulsive actions but instead was taking all the blame on herself for his stupid actions.

He couldn't bear any longer to watch his mother shed any more tears for sake.

He flew from outside the door and landed his small body in Yao Xinyu's lap within a span of a second.

The couple inside did not feel any movement around them but suddenly Yao Xinyu felt a small weight landed in her lap and lowered her head to look at the brown fur snuggling into her embrace.

When the pair of eyes fell on the small orange fur, the tears gushed out of their eyes and yao Xinyu hugged the small body tight while her husband hugged her.

The smiles on their faces couldn't converge as they finally found their kid back.

"Flare, dear. You are back? You are back! You are really back!" Yao Xinyu was still in a state of confusion and was scared that what she was seeing was only her hallucination and nothing more. She thus squeezed the small body hard and ruffled his fur all over until Flare chittered.

Only after squeezing him around for a while did she finally calm down and come to a conclusion that she was not dreaming and Flare was now really in her arms.

Her voice made Hao Yu run outside from inside the room as he shouted excitedly, "Flareon, Flareon! You are back? Yayyy!! Flareon is back!! Mom, look. Flareon is back! Dad, look. Flareon is back!"

He was so excited that he started jumping around the entire house and kept on shouting the words, 'Flareon is back!'

He even wanted to shout those words towards his sister but thankfully he reminded himself that his little sister was sleeping and it was not good to awaken her.

His mother had told him that only if she gets enough sleep during this young age, could she grow up faster so that she would be able to play with him.

The mother and son pair started squeezing him for a while and on the other hand, the father was busy making calls to the people whom he had arranged to search for the Flare to inform them the news of his return so they could stop their search.

Once he was back, he saw a patch of white on his body and frowned, "Flare, what happened to you, kiddo?"

Only after listening to his words did Yao Xinyu and Hao Yu come back to their senses and saw that the small raccoon's body was covered in many bandages.

They were shocked at this sight as they were scared in an instant, "Flare, how did you get hurt? Are you alright? Oh my God! What exactly happened to you?"

While asking, they started rotating his small body in their hands to check up on all the injuries over his body.

Flare chittered to show that he was alright and there was nothing to worry about. He even left their hands and jumped around a couple of times to show how energetic he was and there was really nothing to worry about.

Though they saw him jumping around, the family members couldn't bring themselves to smile when they saw the white bandages and a few small patches of red dyeing over them.

Yao Xinyu once again started sniffling, "You kid, really! Why did you have to leave the house on your own, huh? If you didn't leave on your own, you wouldn't have to suffer all these injuries, right? If you were angry at us, you could have just shown your anger at me directly. Do you have to leave like that, huh?"
