“In fact, we know that with the patient’s condition, there aren’t many expectations for his recovery, but since we are still his family, we ought to see him.”
The doctor placed the money inside the drawer and dialed a number on his intercom, “Get someone here so that they can bring the family into the ward.”
“Alright.”
Cheng Shuyu didn’t know what to think.
As she thought about Jing Xuean, she was still feeling a little hesitant. She was worried that Jing Xuean would refuse to sign the documents. He would then scream at her, and she was worried that the others would hear him, thinking that she was a terrible woman.
Cheng Shuyu was still thinking about it when one of the staff took them to the back of the rehabilitation center.
The center looked normal and clean from the front with recovering patients present, but behind it was a different story.
When they reached their destination, Cheng Shuyu was brought to an old, abandoned building. There were three floors and there were no elevators installed.
As they walked past it, they went into a basement filled with weeds and grass.
The basement was dark and Cheng Shuyu had to remove her sunglasses and watch her step as they entered the basement.

She followed the staff until they were six floors under the ground.
There was a terrible stench coming from the rooms and Cheng Shuyu was about to pass out.
As for the assistant standing next to her, she quickly took out a gas mask from her bag and placed it over her face.
Cheng Shuyu was speechless as to why she didn’t get one too.
They continued walking inwards and Cheng Shuyu noticed that on both sides, there were metal rods that made it look like a prison. She could clearly see the conditions inside these rooms.
The small rooms were filled with 10 beds, and there was nothing other than the beds. There were also cries and wails coming from inside the room.
Suddenly, one of the metal gates opened and two staff with gas masks pulled out a body bag.
Cheng Shuyu got so scared that she almost fell onto the ground.
“We’re here.”
If it wasn’t because she had been reminded of her destination, Cheng Shuyu would still be following them like a zombie.
That’s when Cheng Shuyu started getting nervous.
Jing Xuean’s room was the same as the others. There were 10 bunk beds stuffed into a small room of only 40 square meters.
Each of the beds was covered with a layer of plastic so that they would remain clean. They were used to keep away dirty, excretory materials so that the staff did not have to wash them so regularly.
“Jing Xuean, your family is here.”
As the staff screamed, Cheng Shuyu’s heart shuddered and she quickly turned toward her husband.
Jing Xuean was placed on the third bed from the right when she entered. From where she was, she noticed that Jing Xuean was not wearing anything, and there was only a thin bed sheet covering his body.
Both of his hands were cuffed onto the metal bed frame. His wrists were now covered in blood and she could see the flesh and bone beneath his skin. It was obvious that he had been trying to free himself.
Jing Xuean hadn’t been here for long, but there were already pressure sores all over his body. He was covered with a rotting smell and it made her nauseous.
When Jing Xuean heard the staff, he slowly lowered his head. His eyes were suddenly filled with a strong desire to survive when he saw that it was Cheng Shuyu.
After spending so much time here, he finally made sense of what happened.
Bai Tu fell in love with Jing Lu in such a short period of time that it looked intentional. As the son of a rich family from the Imperial City, Bai Tu wouldn’t have fallen in love with her so quickly. Even if they were dating, they wouldn’t consider marriage at such a young age.
