Little Scar's surgery was scheduled for Friday morning. Her grandmother was in poor health and couldn't withstand the long journey, so He Dongzhou did not bring her to the capital, instead arranging for someone to take care of her in their hometown.
On Thursday morning, Little Scar was in good spirits and managed to eat half a bowl of porridge.
"Dongzhou."
"Hmm."
A week before the surgery, He Dongzhou had cancelled all his work and was practically living in the hospital. Little Scar's kidney failure was severe, her complexion was yellowish due to the toxins that couldn't be expelled, she was skin and bones, and those beautiful eyes lost their sparkle because of her emaciation.
"I want to see her."
"Who do you want to see?"
Little Scar said, "The other Changling."
