Mr. Chen's words were somewhat reasonable. Afang listened carefully. What left her speechless was that she and Officer Chen were really trying hard to have a child, but the baby was just not coming. They even consulted experts about it, but there didn't seem to be any results. Officer Chen hadn't discussed it with her yet.
Seeing her silence and dazed expression, Mr. Chen dared not continue the conversation.
Second Uncle Chen finished his blood draw, came out, and left first with Mr. Chen. Afang stayed behind, waiting to see Chen Xiaoyi. As the wait got a bit prolonged, Afang grew restless and wandered aimlessly in the corridor. Coincidentally, up ahead was Tongtong's hospital room.
When Mr. Chen took Second Uncle along, due to his insistence, they deliberately passed by Tongtong's room. Miao Xin wasn't there, only Tongtong. The child sat on the hospital bed, bored, lifting his foot, curiously examining the few bandages wrapped around it.
