Zuo Xingyun's leg was injured and still giving him trouble, which by now had become so painful he could barely walk, yet he was supported by people at his side, ready to take whatever Shi Nian'an wanted to dish out, whether it was hitting or scolding.
The first time Shi Nian'an saw Old Hei's body, she started wailing uncontrollably. After just a few cries, she fainted.
Xiang Wan bore the discomfort and took Shi Nian'an to the guest room to settle her down before asking Zuo Xingyun, "What should we do now?"
Zuo Xingyun's complexion held a hint of defeat, "Once Shi Nian'an wakes up, we'll ask for her wishes. It's best to arrange the cremation and subsequent matters as soon as possible. People must accept reality."
Turning back to look at Old Hei lying on the bed, Xiang Wan felt an intense sorrow. A person, once full of life, now lay there lifeless, unconscious, no longer able to respond to all the love in the world that was meant for him.
