Ling Chuxia stood up, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed. She walked into the washroom, swiftly washed up, came out, walked to the wardrobe, took off her hospital gown, and slipped into a dress that Sister Hua had brought her. Then, she casually tied her hair into a ponytail, neat and clean.
Having done all this, she picked up her handbag and slowly walked out of the ward.
It was still early, and the hospital was very quiet. Ling Chuxia didn't want anyone to notice her; she tried to walk lightly but quickened her pace as if escaping the hospital would free her from Shi Che's grasp.
She walked briskly and soon reached the first floor of the hospital. There was a duty nurse there, and Ling Chuxia lowered her head slightly, rushing past.
The moment she stepped out of the hospital, she couldn't help but look up at the sky. It had been rather gray earlier, but in an instant, the sun rose from the horizon, its warm yellow light tinting the clouds, the rays emitting a gentle warmth.
