They all went to hospital together soon afterward.
Hua Xueying underwent a thorough medical inspection to record all signs of abuse inflicted by her husband.
Afterward, Lawyer Hui, Yan Renzhong, Shang Ruohai, and the doctor in charge retreated to a separate room to discuss.
They were soon joined by several police officers.
Shen Jingwei was left alone outside for some time, until Hua Xueying joined him.
"Heya," she greeted him.
"Hi."
Hua Xueying plopped down next to Shen Jingwei.
It was nearing midnight, and the lighting in the hospital corridors had been reduced to a minimum.
They could only see the outlines of each other's figure.
"I am sorry for intruding on you and Yan Renzhong tonight," Hua Xueying said. "I didn't have any other person who could help me."
The actress chuckled to herself.
"They called me 'Empress Hua', but I am an empress who lives in the Cold Palace*. Unloved and uncared for."
