The chill from the floor seeped into the soles of her feet as Xiao Xian stood up, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. She returned to the bedside, slipped on her shoes, and changed out of the patient's gown, putting back on the clothes she had worn when she was admitted and had placed under the bed.
The hallway was now deserted, the young boy and the couple who had spoken earlier had already left. The white corridor seemed to stretch on endlessly, and Xiao Xian saw a few nurses in white uniforms noticing a little patient wandering alone.
One nurse stopped: "Little friend, where are your family members? You shouldn't wander around by yourself."
Xiao Xian learned that she was currently at the children's ward. When she asked about Zhu Shijun's whereabouts, the nurse pointed towards the information desk, telling her that she could inquire there about other patients' rooms.
