In the canteen of Kangning Hospital, patients in blue and white striped hospital gowns were having lunch. This naturally included Li Huowang, although he hadn't started eating yet.
Didn't Yi Donglai already discuss this with his junior brother? Could there have been some mistake? Looking at the meat and vegetable dishes on his plate, Li Huowang had no appetite. His mind was completely occupied by what Wu Cheng had just said.
If he hadn't heard it so clearly, he might have thought he had misheard.
I'll eat first, then see what he's up to. Li Huowang mixed the dishes into his rice and began to gulp it all down noisily.
Lunch was soon over. Li Huowang returned to his ward alone, sat on a stool, and waited for Wu Cheng to arrive.
He decided to wait and see what Wu Cheng had planned. If something seemed amiss, he would call Yi Donglai to confirm.
The wait was longer than Li Huowang had anticipated. It wasn't until two-thirty in the afternoon that the door was finally pushed open.
