The big white curtain covering the window of Li Mei's room waved upward and wobbled in the air when the door hissed open.
Chilled air swept through the slightly open door as the hallway light blasted on Leon and made his shadow stretch on the floor.
The bones in his legs buckled when he first saw the ventilator at the left side of the bed. 'Mom?'
His eyes moved frantically in their sockets as he took soft steps forward.
The beeping sound from the ICP monitor flashed into Leon's ears like Li Mei's hum and pulled his attention toward it in an instant.
Leon's hands trembled as he placed them on the bed's bars. All the hair on his skin rose on end when he saw how pale and thin his mother had become.
Tiny particles danced in the IV fluid when the rays of the sun fell on it.
The moment Leon walked to Li Mei's right side, his entire energy vanished from his body. He collapsed on his knees and screamed heavily. "WHY!"
