The protocol officer looked somewhat conflicted as he glanced at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi stood her ground, "In any case, don't bring the flowers to my hospital room, I'm afraid of pollen allergies." Even if she wasn't prone to allergies, she couldn't withstand so many flowers piling up in one hospital room.
With no other choice, the protocol officer could only arrange for the flowers to be taken to the garden downstairs.
Once the flower cart was pushed away, it left behind a carpet of petals.
Lin Qi said to the sanitation worker, "Auntie, I appreciate your hard work. Please clean up the room."
"Alright, Miss Lin, I'll clean it up right away."
Turning around, Lin Qi asked Lu Li, "Do you want to sit for a while?" She noticed that Lu Li had made no move to leave.
"Mhm."
Lu Li took a seat on the sofa in the hospital room.
Lin Qi also sat down on the hospital bed.
The two were silent, facing each other.
