Inside the house, An Xiaomian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard He Hua leave and Shangguan Xiu did not insist on her answering the phone any further.
Still, she felt oppressively moody, suffocated, and very uncomfortable.
Frowning, she wrapped herself even tighter in her blanket and forced herself not to think about anything.
At dusk, An Xiaomian knocked on the door and asked He Hua to come in and unlock her chains; she had 10 minutes to spend with Grandma An today.
After entering the room, An Xiaomian asked the doctors and caregivers taking care of Grandma An to leave, so only she and her grandmother remained.
To her surprise, Grandma An wasn't as cheerfully smiling as she was the day before.
Upon seeing An Xiaomian come in, Grandma An, being lucid, recognized her granddaughter at once and called her over with a serious look, "Xiao Mian, come here, your grandma has something to ask you."
