The hospital room was left with only Li Siru and Ji Niandong. Li Siru closed the door and walked over to sit by the bedside, reaching out to hold Ji Niandong's hand in her palm.
Ji Niandong finally looked up at her, as if waking from a dream, and called out, "Sister-in-law?"
"It's me, Tongtong, don't be afraid!" She reached out and tucked Ji Niandong's hair behind her ear, tenderly and affectionately, just like that woman from when she was young, although back then her sincerity was forced.
Ji Niandong burst into tears all of a sudden and looked up, asking sorrowfully, "Sister-in-law, does he not want me anymore, is that why he didn't come to save me?"
Li Siru smiled, "How could Beichen not want you? He was so worried when he found out you were in trouble. I've never seen him so anxious about anyone before."
