Xu Shuqin told Zhu Tiantian that Old Madam had woken up and asked her to come and take over the shift early.
The phone call was brief, ending after just two minutes.
The ringtone from Qin Wan's phone sounded; it was Zuo Zhan calling.
Before she could answer the call, Xu Shuqin pointed to the stairwell entrance, "Miss Qin, I won't disturb you while you take your call, may I use the restroom?"
"Go ahead."
Qin Wan pressed the answer button, and Zuo Zhan's voice came through, "Miss Qin, you're not hurt, are you? I'm at the police station now. I'll call you again once I have the results..."

In the hospital room.
Old Madam gazed at the silent and motionless Mu Shaochen on the hospital bed with a pained heart.
Her voice was hoarse and aged, "Shaocheng, it's time for you to wake up."
"Grandma might not have much time left to wait for you. If you don't wake up soon, I'm afraid you'll never see me again, and you'll be left with regrets."
