Separated

" Le'er, what are you doing? And why are you not wearing enough clothes?" Old Madam Yu immediately scrambled on her feet as she rushed towards the mer who was in his late thirties. Behind him was a young girl around the age of ten, at first Yu Dong did not realise why the young girl was hiding behind her father but then as Old Madam Yu ushered the mer and the young girl, her gaze fell on the large dark birthmark on the face of the young girl. 

A flicker flashed in her eyes before she turned to look at Chen Mi and said, " Go and bring some brown sugar and ginger water." 

" Yes, just give me a few minutes" Chen Mi nodded as he turned around and headed towards the kitchen where he started bustling around. 

The rest of the mers cleaned up their things which were scattered all over the living room and then made space for the mer to take a seat along with his daughter. However even after sitting down the elderly mer did not speak, he simply kept his head bowed.
