Xiang Wan stayed in the hospital until it was almost time for work before she finally left.
Each time she received no response from her mother, she felt incredibly lonely, like a fledgling abandoned before it learned to fly, facing the unknown world all alone.
The sense of security that had been crafted by a warm family vanished overnight, and she was enveloped by a feeling of helplessness. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on, her only support was the hope that her mother might wake up one day.
When she arrived at the shop, Shi Nian'an noticed Xiang Wan's reddened eyes and asked with concern, "What happened to you? Have you been crying?"
Xiang Wan shook her head, "I'm fine, my eyes just got windblown while I was riding over."
Shi Nian'an was a bit puzzled, "Didn't your uncle give you a ride today?"
The mention of Zuo Xingyun made Xiang Wan feel even worse, "Don't bring it up... I shouldn't have drunk last night."
