"You really came." Shao Wenbo hurried into the courtyard of his manor, where Wang Jingyuan was standing with a small basket. "Jing-Jing, thank you for coming. It really means the world to me."
"I made a promise." Wang Jingyuan shrugged. "Did you think that I am one to not uphold my promises?"
A flash of panic crossed Shao Wenbo's features. "No—no, of course not, Jing-Jing. That's not what I meant. I just—it's just that—" He took a breath to calm down. For some reason, he was extra jittery today. "I understand the risks you are taking by being here. I really appreciate you coming to see Xiang'er; I know she would be so happy. And…although I know you are not a trained doctor, I trust in your knowledge and your expertise. Just take a look at her, this is all I ask. I don't want to give up hope. I don't want to give up on her."
