Luna paused, glanced at Yannie's face, and finally nodded.
Without them noticing it, the car had arrived at a clinic near the studio.
As soon as they arrived, Luna pulled Yannie out of the car and into the clinic.
As the doctor tended to Yannie’s wounds, he could not help saying kindly, "I'm sure that there will be a solution to everything in life, so please don't hurt yourself like this anymore in the future. Do you see how badly you've injured yourself just by digging your nails into your skin? I would've been devastated to see this if you were my daughter."
Yannie lowered her head, watching the doctor apply ointment onto her hands, but did not reply.
Luna wanted to say something to Yannie, but no words seemed to come out.
Initially, she had plenty of things that she wanted to tell Yannie, including her idea of matchmaking Yannie with Sean and words of reassurance that she wanted to tell her.
However, after finding out that Yannie had given birth to Thomas' child, who died shortly after, she suddenly realized that she had nothing to say.
It was not because she did not think Yannie would be a good match for Sean, but because she could tell that even though this had happened more than two months ago, Yannie was still clearly affected by the child's passing.
Otherwise, she would not have cried while confiding this in Luna, nor would she have been so upset when she met Thomas.
The two women remained silent until the doctor finished wrapping Yannie's hand in bandages.
Finally, as they left the clinic, Luna gently grabbed hold of Yannie's hand and said, "If you go to visit the child's grave in the future ...I'd like to come along."
