After standing in the ward for a while, He Zhilan and Jiang Biyun left the room. With the door closed, He Zhilan spoke, intentionally lowering her voice to a near whisper, even choked with emotion, "He's still asleep now. Let's go back to the university. I need to ask for a long leave from my teacher and the librarian to take care of him and also I need to gather some of his things."
Jiang Biyun nodded, although she was worried that He Zhilan might struggle with her lessons if she took a long vacation. But, as He's wife, it was her duty to care for him. Besides, in the capital, only the two of them were present, with no one else to take care of He Teng. Despite the availability of hospital carers, they could never match a family member's dedication and care.
