His face is haggard, the whole person lacks the spirited energy.
Perhaps it's been too long since they've met, for a moment, it's hard to recall how Jiang Lin once looked.
Now he is thin, sallow, the whole person like someone about to step into the gates of hell.
Seeing Song Rong and Jiang Muwan again, Jiang Lin is also a bit dazed.
In his daze, he feels as if he's returned to his youth when his wife and daughter were still his wife and daughter.
And not like strangers.
Not meeting with death as the premise and excuse.
Z Country people always talk about a moment of clarity before death as if they experience a period of exceptional lucidity, like a normal person.
And Jiang Wei knows, now Jiang Lin is at the stage of such clarity.
The person tortured by illness, lying in bed unable to manage eating, drinking, or defecating, now sits on the sickbed, smiling gently at Song Rong and Jiang Muwan.
It's as if, he had only a minor illness.
After today, he could be discharged.
