Just Can’t Let Go

Yu Luocheng disliked hospitals. The air here was thick with the smell of formalin. There was a period of time when his father Yu Jing was hospitalized, and Yu Luocheng had to visit the hospital regularly. He'd never gotten used to the smell.

At the moment, he paid it no heed as he rushed to the ward to find Li Yun.

She was out in the corridor, deep in discussion with a man in doctor's clothing. Seeing the forlorn look on her face, Yu Luocheng guessed that his father's condition was even worse than the last time.

"For now, just look after him," the doctor was saying. "When the head doctor arrives tomorrow, you can discuss this matter with him further. He told me the patient's condition has gotten worse. He should have been coming here for regular check-ups and treatment long before this."

And then the doctor was gone, leaving Li Yun alone in the corridor with a mask of distress, holding back a breath full of questions she didn't know how to ask.
