Aunt Ting had been moved to the intensive care unit, but she was still unconscious. Mo Lan was only allowed to see his wife briefly before he was asked to wait outside so that he would not disturb the patient.
Mo Lan could only follow the doctor's orders, and he was now sitting on one of the benches outside the ICU. The ICU corridor was quieter than other areas of the hospital, and even in the waiting area, there were only Mo Lan, Zhang Hei, and Jun.
The other two seats on his left and right were actually empty, but neither Zhang Hei nor Jun chose to sit there. The two chose to sit on another bench across from where the old man was sitting alone, and they silently looked at the old man who had kept his head lowered ever since he came out of the ICU.
