Hearing a knock on the door, Qiao Ruo scrambled out of bed as fast as she could.
She knew the nurses on duty would make their rounds early in the morning, and hurriedly pulled on her dress. Surprisingly, Cree was already awake and was already at the door. He was not like a patient and all, energetically humming as he walked towards the door. Qiao Ruo ignored him and instead walked into the bathroom and cleaned herself up. As usual, the moment the nurses entered, he transformed into his cold and uncaring self.
"Excellent today, Mr Ye," the older nurse said, after measuring his vitals. "The doctor will see you in about an hour from now. If everything goes well, you may get discharged." Cree remained silent and just nodded. The younger nurse remained, while the older nurse left to attend to other patients.
