As time ticked away, An Yiqing's brow furrowed slightly, a flash of realization crossing her eyes.
She withdrew her hand, gingerly placing Huang Fen's wrist back down.
"Miss, can Mother Huang's illness be cured?" Ah Si hurried forward, asking anxiously.
An Yiqing glanced at Ah Si, then turned to look at Ah Yi and the few other boys. She gestured with her hand to indicate "let's talk outside."
Outside the bedroom
An Yiqing turned to face the boys, nodding her head as she said, "Director Huang's illness is gastric cancer; it has probably been four or five years. Originally, it was just a gastric disorder caused by irregular meals over a long period, but it turned cancerous because it wasn't properly cared for in time. Am I right?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the boys' eyes widened in disbelief, their faces filled with horror.
An Yiqing couldn't help but chuckle, teasing, "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm not a ghost."
