Chapter 51 Three Hours of Separation_1

"Yeah, I'm going. You guys enjoy your meal, eat up, don't worry about seeing me out."

After saying this, she glanced at Zhou Mu on the hospital bed and Shen Xian, who was standing with his head bowed in front of the bed.

Shen Xian mustered up the courage to look up, but the moment he locked eyes with Bai's mother, he recoiled as if electrically shocked.

Bai's mother left soon after, making sure to close the ward's door behind her.

Shen Xian kept his head down, his hands cradling a small bowl of soup, his fingers awkwardly touching the rim, his eyes stiffly fixed on the ground, not moving for a long time.

"Shen Xian, Bai's mother has left."

Zhou Mu said, his voice carrying a note of compassion.

"Oh..."

Only then did Shen Xian venture to raise his head, looking at the now-empty doorway, his thoughts hazy as he sat down along the edge of the bed.

Zhou Mu felt uneasy seeing her like this.
