Xie Lin first went to the restroom, cleaned the blood off his hands, then came out and said to Xia Wan'an and Han Zhijin, "It's fine to leave just one person in the ward."
Xia Wan'an glanced at Han Zhijin and saw that he was keeping his head down and not speaking. She then said, "I can stay. It's getting late, you guys should head back and rest."
Xie Lin nodded slightly, signaling that Xia Wan'an could press the call button if anything was needed, and then left the ward.
Han Zhijin stood in the room, lingering without leaving.
Just as Xia Wan'an was about to ask Han Zhijin what he was making a fuss about, Han Zhijin suddenly looked up at Han Jingnian on the bed. It was then that she noticed Han Zhijin's eyes were terribly red, as if he had been crying.
The words that Xia Wan'an had on the tip of her tongue suddenly became unspeakable, and by the time she managed to make a sound, Han Zhijin had already left the ward.
