After Ming Mei left, Hua Nianrui was overwhelmed with fear. She lay on the hospital bed without energy, her eyes shut, pondering about her next move.
However, that voice startled Hua Nianrui awake from her fears; she even forgot the pain in her body, bolting upright in bed.
The man staring at her was backlit and his face obscured, his white coat suggesting he was just an ordinary hospital doctor. However, for Hua Nianrui, his appearance struck terror in her heart like a ghostly apparition. Her pupils constricted in terror.
The fear she felt towards this man was different than that she felt for Ming Mei.
This was a terror that had seeped into her very soul and entered her bones, a terror that would persist even in death.
