Tao Yinyin neither cried nor fussed, sitting on a little stool, her eyes dark and hollow, very empty.
"Still refuses to eat?" the principal asked.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, complaining, "Isn't that too heartless? No matter what, she raised her for six years and won't even come to take a look!"
"Stop it, they are not obligated!"
"She's getting thinner and thinner, refuses to eat, surviving only on nutrient injections. If this continues, she will die."
"I... will think of something else."
"Principal, could you make another call to ask if Ms. Liu really doesn't want to come? Just tell her the child is dying, she might want to come to see her for the last time, right?"
"How can you say such things!"
The middle-aged woman said irritably, "I don't want to see her die either. She's such a young child, it's truly pitiful!"
While the two were discussing Tao Yinyin, someone came looking for the principal, "She's here, someone has come to see Tao Yinyin!"
