It was the earliest she had ever gotten up: 3:20 in the morning.
Grandma suddenly collapsed without any warning. It was also in the early hours when she got up; she fell beside the bed. The nanny who cooked breakfast for her every day found her and hurriedly called an ambulance. When they arrived at the hospital, she was still in a coma and hadn't woken up.
Rushing from Beijing to Shanghai, Shen Jing hadn't slept well all night. She sat on the bench outside the ICU, silent.
When the doctor emerged from the ICU, he saw her still sitting there and reminded her to rest. She just hummed in acknowledgment and ultimately remained silent.
The doctor said, "We've done our best. Surgery is no longer an option. It's cerebrovascular disease; it progressed from an initial narrowing to a complete blockage now."
The initial cerebrovascular disease had worsened. They had only thought it was poor memory, that she was just always confusing Liang Yingning and Xing Fei.
