Song Ci stood aside and watched the scene unfold, feeling rather upset. The two of them sat quietly in the waiting area for a few hours. Only at 1pm did the doctor inform Li Li to prepare to receive his mother.
Mother Li was dazed and her eyes were darting around when she was pushed out. Only when Li Li grabbed her hand and she vaguely heard him call her mother, did Mother Li feel at ease and stopped moaning.
After returning to the ward and settling Mother Li down, Li Li went to the toilet to secretly wipe his tears. Song Ci couldn't help but think of her own parents. Li Li was so fortunate to still be able to accompany her mother in her surgery and be filial to her, but she had already lost hers long ago.
The last time Song Ci saw her mother, Jiang Mengmeng, and father, Song Tingyun, was at the site of the earthquake. Her parents' bodies were laid out alongside the bodies of many victims. The paramedics carried antiseptic sprayers and disinfected their bodies.
