I Will Stay With Her

When Yanzi said that, her expression had a hint of coldness that a child her age should not have. It was as if being abandoned by her parents was no longer something that could make her sad.

"Auntie Lu, I heard that you are a doctor." When I grow up, I want to study medicine like you. I will also become a doctor. My brothers will join the army, and I will become a doctor. They will protect the country, and I will protect them!" Yanzi's expression only changed slightly when she talked about her friends; it was her hope for the future.

"You have ambition and loyalty." Jiang Yao patted the boy's shoulder. "Don't you miss your home? Don't you want to find your family?"
