"...Dear Madam, please rest assured. Since Huahua is our Song Family's daughter-in-law, we will spare no cost in treating her illness, regardless of how much silver it takes. Our Song Family won't even bat an eye... However, dear madam, as you know, in this world, there are matters beyond the power of medicine. The gods are observing from above, and surely you understand this better than I do."
As it was getting late, Old Madam Song asked Lady Gu and Lian Duo to stay the night. However, that night and until the next morning when they left after breakfast, Lady Gu and Lian Duo were unable to see Lian Huahua again.
On the way back, Lady Gu felt dazed. Her mind kept replaying Old Madam Song's words. Her concern and sadness over Lian Huahua's future even overshadowed her fear of returning to Thirty Mile Camp.
