HOW DID IT HAPPEN

Mushu looked to Ling Li for approval, who nodded silently. "Come. I will show you, Rockie." Mushu led the way, Goldie following obediently with Tod, his aide, beside him. Ling Li and Shi Min trailed behind, their hearts heavy with concern.

They entered a quiet, dimly lit room in the infirmary where Rockie lay, surrounded by the steady hum of medical equipment. The sight of Rockie, frail and hooked up to machines, brought a fresh wave of tears to Goldie's eyes.

"Rockie! Rockie! Why are you sleeping with all the devices?! Wake up! Wake up!" Goldie cried, shaking Rockie desperately.

Miraculously, Rockie stirred, his eyelids fluttering open to the astonishment of everyone present. Slowly, Rockie seemed to recognize the tube in his mouth and, with surprising skill, removed it himself. Mushu, breaking out of his stunned silence, rushed over to assist him.
