Are humans this cruel?

The next morning, at ten o'clock.
Ming Ci's anesthesia wore off, and severe pain that penetrated to the marrow emanated from his right arm, with every inch of his wrist and finger bones aching terribly.
Weak and groggy, he called out, "It hurts... water..."
To avoid touching his injured right hand and causing secondary damage, Ming Ge slept hugging the left side of the boy's hospital bed.
Ming Ci needed an IV drip with anti-inflammatory drugs after the surgery, and Ming Ge waited for the nurse to remove the IV before she fell asleep.
With concerns weighing on her mind, her sleep naturally became light, and the slightest noise could wake her up.
Ming Ge felt like she had just closed her eyes when she vaguely heard a voice by her ear. She rubbed her eyes, feeling extremely drowsy, but forced herself to sit up, "Ming Ci?"
