Inside the car, he didn't see anything related to a baby, nor did he see any children, let alone the sound of an infant's crying.
He had learned of this news the day before yesterday.
Yesterday, he stayed up late to wrap up all the work in Los Angeles, and then he caught a flight back.
Similarly, when he got off the plane, it was precisely noon; he didn't even have lunch before rushing to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Shen Chi's car at the entrance of the hospital.
The message from Shen Chi could not have been clearer; he was told not to meddle in his family affairs and to just focus on his own job.
At that moment, Shen Chi raised the car window again.
"Drive," Shen Chi told Lao Cheng.
"Okay, Mr. Shen," Lao Cheng responded, restarting the car.
Looking through the rearview mirror, he could see Xiao Mo standing still after the car had driven away.
Dressed in a black coat, Xiao Mo stood in the biting wind, watching Shen Chi's car leave the intersection.
