Yueyao didn't respond. Her tears fell silently onto her blanket, each drop staining the thin white cotton like tiny wounds.
Bai Zhi straightened her back, seeing her broken. It was just a matter of time before she took over.
Just then, a soft knock came at the door. A nurse stepped in quietly, bowing politely to Shen Xiao before looking at Yueyao with hesitant sympathy.
They knew Auntie Mei was the one taking care of her when she was sick, and now that Auntie Mei was sick, she probably needed to know her condition.
"Madam Lin… the doctor said you can visit Aunt Mei today since you have woken up, but only for a short while. She's stable at the moment, but still unconscious."
Shen Xiao scoffed coldly, pushing himself off the wall he was leaning against, "Visit her if you want, but don't expect her to wake up just to comfort you. You should know there are consequences for your reckless actions."
