Shi Niange didn't remember how long it had been since she slept. She didn't know if it was daytime in the United States or nighttime in China. In short, she sat in the hospital ward like this. From time to time, someone would come over and stop by her side. She would ask around and occasionally answer. Occasionally, she would sit silently.
Her father had woken up once during the day. The anesthesia had worn off, and the wounds on his body were painful. However, his legs were numb and he could not feel anything. Not long after he woke up, several directors of the company surrounded the bed. Afterward, the doctor came in and chased them away. When Shi Niange entered the ward, she sat by the bed and looked at her father.
Father Shi laid there silently and looked at her.
Father and daughter looked at each other in silence.
Afterward, when she returned to the breakroom, she just stared out of the window without speaking.
