Chapter 293 - 291 Chen Hao
Twenty minutes later, at the main entrance of Modu City Center Hospital, a car slowly approached from a distance and entered the hospital’s underground parking.
Soon after, Xue Man and Lu Tianxing emerged from the underground parking together.
Xue Man’s mother was in a private ward on the fifth floor of Modu Central Hospital. The private ward was one of the better wards in the hospital and could be considered a VIP room, with one-on-one care and dedicated nurses available around the clock.
Taking the elevator, the two directly arrived at the fifth floor ward.
After pushing open the door of the ward and walking in, the sight of her mother on the bed brought a look of deep, undissolvable sorrow to Xue Man’s face, void of any trace of a smile.
Lu Tianxing followed behind Xue Man, and upon entering the ward, his gaze was immediately captured by Xue Man’s mother on the bed.
Even though Lu Tianxing had braced himself, the sight of Xue Man’s mother still made him involuntarily gasp.
The figure lying in the bed could hardly be called a living person, but rather a desiccated ’corpse’.
Xue Man’s mother’s skin lacked any sign of blood or plumpness; her sallow, wrinkled skin wrapped around her bones, her eye sockets deeply sunken, the entire person so gaunt that only bones seemed to remain, and her withered hair stuck to her scalp as if glued on. At first glance, she evoked the image of a mummy dried by wind at an air vent, not a living being.
Seeing Lu Tianxing without words, Xue Man turned her head back with an apologetic face, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you."
"It’s nothing, this scene doesn’t scare me."
