Ultimately, she succumbed to utter exhaustion and passed out.
Her sleep was deep yet restless. In her dreams, she saw An Yichen covered in blood, then she dreamed of her mother suffering a heart attack, collapsing to the ground.
She wanted to help An Yichen, yet also wanted to steady her mother.
But as she ran back and forth, she did not know whom to save first. She screamed for help, hoping someone would come to their aid, but the hospital's long, silent corridors were deserted.
Her echoes reverberated over and over, sounding eerie and desolate.
As time went on, An Yichen's breath grew weaker, and her mother's did, too.
Chen Zhi, driven to desperation, began to cry. She called out to her mother and to Yichen, begging them to hold on, to not leave her, but they could not hear her voice.
Suddenly, An Yichen coughed up blood and seemed to stop breathing. Chen Zhi was shocked, her body trembling uncontrollably with fear.
