"I didn't do it"

Imperial Multi-Speciality Hospital, 07:05;

Xi Fang and Xi Wei stood behind their brother, listening to the familiarly euphonious voice of their dear Sister-in-law. The man too, stood still, holding onto the phone in his hand tightly. 

"Oh, my sweet, sweet, Yuan.", the recording started, her voice trembling, "How terrorized you must be right now. To watch her like that, weak and unconscious. How helpless, and frightened you must've felt then. I can only imagine. 

"She is mother, Yuan. Not yours, but mine too. And I sincerely hope she survives through this. I really do.", she laughed a short but forlorn laugh, "That is if you believe me.", the woman added.
