After work in the evening, Xie Wanying met up with her elder sister, Lau Jingyun, and they went together to visit He Xiangyu at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Upon arriving on the eighth floor, they found that He Xiangyu had been transferred from the cardiothoracic ICU to a general ward, and both hurried to bed number twenty-two upon receiving the news.
He Xiangyu, who appeared much better, was half-sitting on her hospital bed. Seeing them approach, she motioned with her lips to her elder and younger sisters, "Later on, take some fruit with you. They were gifts."
"Who sent them? Weren't they sent for you?" Lau Jingyun and Xie Wanying asked, "Let Aunt Zhang take them home instead."
Aunt Zhang, who had come to accompany her daughter that day, was tidying up her daughter's hospital stay items. Hearing her daughter's elder and younger sisters call her 'Auntie', she lifted her head and smiled, "You keep her company; I'm going downstairs to buy some things for her."
