While they were talking, noises came from the bedroom, and Zhang Xiumin hurried over.
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng followed and saw Mrs. Guo on the bed, emaciated beyond recognition; the room was relatively warm, with a brazier burning all the time.
Mrs. Guo woke up, recognized no one, took a sip of water, and then lay down to sleep again.
Then they all withdrew, and after exchanging a few words in the living room, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng said their goodbyes. Given the situation at home, the elderly lady could really pass away at any moment.
Meng Meng was reluctant to let Gu Pan go, clinging to her hand.
Gu Pan caressed Meng Meng's little face, "Auntie will come to see you again in a few days."
Meng Meng finally nodded, "Auntie, then you must come early."
Gu Pan smiled and agreed.
Zhang Xiumin escorted them to the door and watched them descend the stairs before she closed the door.
