"Madam, shall we go back now?" Leng Youchen embraced her, taking her away from the hospital. Back in the car, Wei Anning leaned against the seat, hugging her knees and curling up into a ball, as if she were still in her mother's womb, seeking security.

Even the neighbors in the district where she had lived said they had never seen her.
