After Wang Anfeng left the Meng Yuexue's residence, a stick of incense's time had already passed.
Meng Yuexue sat by the bed, her palm holding Chuan Lian's, the withered, twig-like fingers contrasted starkly against the girl's, providing a significant shock. The townsfolk huddled together in the room, would have been quite curious if they saw this scene on any ordinary day, but their hearts were restless now, and they had no interest in whispering to one another.
Screams of agony could be heard from the streets.
Meng Yuexue's expression remained calm, but her grip on Chuan Lian's hand quivered imperceptibly.
As a medical student, when she was needed the most, she stayed here, choosing to stand by idly. Even though no one blamed her, guilt already filled the girl's heart.
She looked up at Chuan Lian, whose eyes were tightly closed, and for a rare moment, weakness flickered in her heart.
What should I do? Senior brother...
If you were only awake,
How good that would be.
