Old Master Song's illness stirred half the hearts of the people in the Capital, especially those of the dignitaries.
Upon hearing of Old Master Song's illness; for a moment, they didn't know whom to believe. Some wanted to sneak into the hospital to get some news, but the doctors, upholding their noble professional ethics, did not reveal a shred to the outside.
More importantly, they all knew better than anyone that the Song Family was not someone they could afford to provoke. Compared to petty favors, their career development over a lifetime was more important.
Speculations and doubts from the outside world were constant.
But no matter how those storms raged outside, they couldn't breach the hospital. The thick walls of the hospital were at this moment a barrier isolating the Song Family from the outside world, and the news from outside couldn't reach the ears of the Song Family.
Even if they knew, they would act as outsiders, saying and doing nothing.
