Chapter 429: New Pain

CHAPTER 429 

The early morning air was crisp and cool as Liu Xueyi raced through the sliding glass doors of the hospital, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and urgency. 

The bright lights and sterile smell of antiseptic hit him as he entered, and he quickly glanced around the bustling reception area, searching for any signs or directions that would lead him to his son's ward.

He approached the reception desk, his voice trembling with anxiety as he addressed the nurse behind the counter. "Excuse me, I'm looking for the ward where my son Zheng Ling is. Can you please direct me?"

The nurse, a kind-looking middle-aged woman, smiled sympathetically. "Of course, sir. Zheng Ling is in the Pediatric Oncology ward on the third floor. Take the elevator to your right, and when you reach the third floor, turn left and follow the signs. You won't miss it."
