In the VIP ward, Joseph Lancaster lay calmly on the hospital bed, over thirty hours had passed, and he still hadn't woken up.
Since he was wheeled from the operating room to the ward, Violet Zimmerman had been by the bed, not touching a morsel.
The food Aunt Zhang brought was perfectly placed on the table, her son Evander Lancaster and daughter-in-law Sophia Hamilton came to persuade her several times, but she always said, I'm not hungry.
Clasping Joseph Lancaster's hand tightly, Violet Zimmerman murmured, "Joseph... if you leave, what will I do..."
They had agreed to retire and settle abroad together, if he were gone, she'd be left alone, wherever she went, she'd be solitary and lonely.
Sophia Hamilton stood at the doorway of the ward, coming over more than once, each time seeing the same scene.
