Jiang Yue stayed in the hospital room with the others, but as the night stretched on, they had to leave, returning home one by one.
Only Gao Tian remained, sitting beside Jiang Xiu's bed in silence, waiting for her to wake.
By morning, however, even he had to leave. And so, for the first time since the incident, it was only Jiang Yue in the room.
She had just freshened up, planning to step out once Guan Ying arrived, when a knock sounded at the door.
She paused, then went to open it—only to freeze in surprise.
Luo Zhelan stood there, holding several paper bags in his hands.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then, Jiang Yue stepped aside, wordlessly letting him in.
Luo Zhelan placed the food on the small table, glancing at Jiang Xiu's unconscious form before speaking.
"Xifeng told me what happened," he said.
Jiang Yue gave a short nod. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
"It's fine," Luo Zhelan replied easily. "I understand."
