Mrs. Shi was wheeled back into the ward, and Shi Che sat beside the bed. As he gazed at the unconscious Mrs. Shi, she had only been hospitalized for a few short days, yet she had become noticeably thinner, her cheeks pallid and ashen, looking as if she had aged decades overnight.
The illness tormented her, and he... was helpless.
Shi Che's hand involuntarily gripped hers tightly. He closed his eyes slightly, his forehead drooping with a sense of powerlessness.
When Ling Yunshu walked in, she caught exactly this scene. Looking at Shi Che's profile, a pang of sympathy couldn't help but flutter through her heart.
The man who was always strong, now unconsciously revealed his vulnerability.
But at the same time, she felt joy because Shi Che cared about Mrs. Shi more than she had imagined. And his concern for Mrs. Shi was an opportunity she could seize.
