But she wasn't sure. Besides, she looked down on Shen Youling's family, so it was better to avoid getting involved.
I've seen their true colors long ago. If I were able to help, they wouldn't be truly grateful and would forget it in a heartbeat. If I failed to help, or somehow made things worse, they would surely hold a grudge against me for the rest of their lives. Why should I bother with such a thankless task?
That was what she thought.
Shen Youling begged again and again, but Lin Tang showed no sign of waking. Overwhelmed with disappointment, she slumped to the ground.
Shen Qiushi could no longer bear to watch and staggered away. He planned to go to the hospital where Shen Xin was, to be with his son on his final journey.
Another hour passed. As night fell, the sky darkened. Shen Youling remained motionless, looking as shriveled as a dead branch.
Just as Lee Encai was about to turn on the lights, she snapped, "Who's there? Get out here!"
