When the illness was discovered, it was already in the late stages, and Cheng Yuan's condition deteriorated rapidly.
Bleeding of her skin and mucous membranes led to numerous bruises and petechiae on her skin. She often inexplicably started having fevers, catching colds, and having nosebleeds with increasing frequency. Sometimes, she even bled from the gums just from brushing her teeth with help.
She knew that she was truly at her end.
Her mother cried every day, but never dared to cry in front of her. She would always make an excuse to leave after seeing Cheng Yuan have a nosebleed or discovering more bruises, returning with red eyes afterwards.
Lin Zhishu had already placed all his focus on her illness.
He visited many times a day, and he looked more and more haggard as the days went by.
