Lin Chu showed no signs of rejection, just lifted her head and asked, "Do I really have to be taken up?"
The man didn't loosen his grip, nor did he show any signs of compromise.

Lu Huai'an escorted her to the first floor of the inpatient department, only turning around after watching her enter the elevator.

Lin Chu stood outside Grandpa Ji's ward, able to see the scene inside through the small glass window on the door.
Her best friend was leaning on the bedside, her shoulders shaking slightly.
