"So, what happened over there?" Li Huan, who had stayed in the compartment as Su Qing had told her to, asked hurriedly as soon as she saw her return.
"An elderly person had a sudden medical emergency, but it's been stabilized. They'll probably take him to the hospital once we get to the station," Su Qing explained briefly.
"That's a relief, that's a relief." Li Huan nodded. "A medical emergency on a train is the most dangerous thing. If you can't find a doctor, treatment gets delayed. It's a good thing that elderly gentleman was so lucky."
"It's getting late. We should get to sleep." Outside, the world was pitch-black, save for a few scattered lights in the distance. As the train sped through the countryside, the dark silhouettes of trees flashed past the window. The car had fallen silent, leaving only the rhythmic clatter of the wheels on the tracks.
