(370) The Weight of Life
update icon Updated at 2025/12/23 5:00:02

370,

After some time had passed since the surgery began,

Little Dragon finally returned with Mary's parents.

Running ahead, Little Dragon brought David and his wife to Mary.

The David family immediately embraced each other, and Yuna, seeing the David family finally reunited, felt relieved about the rescue plan they had made.

On the other side, as Little Dragon watched this family embracing each other, he couldn't help feeling a little envious.

"You silly girl?! You scared Dad to death..."

"This is wonderful, just wonderful..."

The parents seemed very worried, but Mary responded.

"Oh, you two, stop crying, Mom and Dad..."

Although there seemed to be a mismatched feeling among the characters, after Mary, who had been embraced by the married couple, patted their heads, the atmosphere finally calmed down.

At the same time, Little Dragon turned around and looked at the entrance to the dungeon.

"What happened inside?"

"An hour."

After hearing Yuna's answer, Little Dragon asked again.

"No news?"

"No."

After Yuna's brief response, she looked up, as if praying to the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon became even more worried and briefly considered going down to take a look.

But considering that even Yuna, who was so capable, didn't go down to help, Little Dragon thought that going down would only hinder their efforts.

In the end, Little Dragon decided to wait here with Yuna.

Dusk was approaching, and as they watched the sky gradually turn yellow, time passed second by second.

What was discovered in the dungeon, those outside had no idea.

"May I ask... if something happened down there?"

At this moment, David asked curiously.

"Cyclone took the puppy down. I heard that doctor can save the puppy."

Mary answered on behalf of them.

"The puppy? Not the one from last time..."

"Yeah! Mom, it's the one from last time!"

Little Dragon and Yuna couldn't fully understand the conversation of this family, but...

Yuna's heart felt very uneasy, and this uneasiness was unwarranted.

Because Yuna knew where this feeling came from, this uneasiness was caused by her own helplessness.

Suddenly, as if in response to fate, clear footsteps came from the stairs leading to the dungeon.

Step by step, as they walked up, Little Dragon heard it and hurried forward.

"Husband!"

"Shh! Be quiet!"

Little Dragon's exclamation was met with a shout from Eileen.

But immediately after, Cyclone also chimed in with a remark.

"You are the one, Eileen."

Upon hearing Cyclone's comment, Eileen immediately closed her mouth.

As they came up, Cyclone smilingly said,

"Hehe, I did it!"

After saying this to Little Dragon and Yuna, Cyclone brought the small dog in his arms to Mary.

To make sure Mary could see clearly, Cyclone knelt down on one knee.

"Shh, just take a look, I'll put it back on the bed to rest later," Cyclone gently said to Mary.

"Is it okay?," Mary asked anxiously.

"Yeah, it's fine," Cyclone replied.

At that moment, Mary, who never shed a tear even during a family reunion, finally burst into tears.

Knowing that Mary had let go of her worries, Cyclone handed the puppy to Eileen and asked her to take it back to the dungeon to rest.

And when the puppy left his hands, he felt a weight lifted off.

That pressure came from the weight of a life.

After that pressure was gone, Cyclone sat down on the spot.

His butt hit the ground, and Cyclone let out a loud sigh.

"Damn it! That was quite the thrill," he exclaimed.

Everyone broke out in cold sweat at Cyclone's sudden outburst. Cyclone, who had just appeared mature, now seemed like a child.

"Hahaha, I bet you never imagined this," Cyclone laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Today, I personally saved this life!"
