She went for a walk around the hospital's garden with Huo Jingtang, then rested on a bench for a while before Huo Jingjing helped her back to her ward. Huo Zhongming was seen sitting on the sofa smoking, but when he saw Bai Mulan's return, he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up to open a nearby window, allowing fresh air to dilute the indoor tobacco smell. He still cared deeply for Bai Mulan and would do whatever he could for her.
"Just now, Mom, Fanghua, Fengfeng, Xiaoxian, and Xiaofan all came to see you, but since you weren't here and Mom is getting on in years, I let them go back first," Huo Zhongming stood up and, seeing that Bai Mulan's complexion had gained some color, felt somewhat reassured, "Your complexion looks much better than it did this morning."
Huo Zhongming was about to take over supporting her from Huo Jingtang's hand. However, Bai Mulan avoided his outstretched hand, "I can walk on my own!"
