An Keqing regarded her contracting HIV as akin to a deadly viper or a vicious beast.
She wanted to hide it from everyone. Even if she died, she didn't want anyone to find out.
Least of all, her family.
But that was impossible.
A murder case is a significant matter.
What's more, it involved two lives, one of which belonged to the daughter of the Situ family.

There was no way she could hide the fact that she had HIV from the police.
And the police would certainly inform her family about it.
The matter might even make it into the case file, and many others would learn about it.
An Keqing's mother was so weak that she needed her husband's support just to stand, her expression vacant and numb.
