With a click, Lily stands in the middle of the room and stares at her coldly, “What exactly is it, can you
say it now?”
“What are you rushing for?” Marina’s indifferent look makes people angry.
Lily’s eyebrows twist a bit, she does not want to be alone with Marina for too long, “I only have half an
hour.”
The more anxious she is, the happier Marina is. Since Lily is in a hurry to court death, she does not
have to do all her tricks.
“Lily, if it is not because of your relationship with Rex, I really like your direct personality.”
Naturally, Lily does not think this is a compliment from her heart. Her expression is still as cold as
before, as if she is watching her performing alone.
Marina then raises her fingers to point at the medical disinfection cabinet. “There is an anti-bacterial
suit inside. Wear it; I’ll take you meet someone.”
Lily does not move; she stays still for a moment. A cold wave is hidden under her smiling yet indeed
cold eyes, “What game are you exactly trying to play?”
“Why worry when you’ve even come here?” Marina finally gets up from the bed to walk to the front of
the cabinet and opens it. She takes two white sterile gowns and puts on one of them. Her vision then
shifts to another door inside the room, “There is a critically ill patient, you need to be sterile before
entering.”
Lily then notices it. At first, she thinks that it is another room, but little did she expect that it is connected
to another ward.
She reaches over to take the sterile gown. When she takes off her coat and changes it in a brisk
motion, neither of them speaks. One is scheming, while the other one is keeping vigilant. The only
sound left in the air is the rubbing sound of the slightly hard sterile gown.
After wrapping herself tightly, Lily straightens up, “Let’s go.”
She always feels that Marina’s expression is strange. However, she could not say precisely what it is.
From the moment she entered till now, nothing really happens.
Marina conceals her eerie smile on her lower lip; she walks to the door and reaches out to push it
away, and a completely different scenery comes into the sight.
It is also a ward, which is a little smaller than Marina’s one but there are lots of equipment. On both
sides of the bed, there are two huge machines shining in the silver light. The upper tube is connected
to the body on the bed and the cold liquid continuously flows in. If it is not for the heartbeat display on
the side, she even thinks the person is dead.
‘Didi’ ‘Didi’
Quiet till strange, all that’s left is the icy sound of the medical equipment.
The soles of Lily’s feet are tingling; her hands in the sterile gown could not help but tighten a little.
However, Marina is extremely indifferent as usual, “This is my grandma, biological grandma.”
Her few words break Lily’s emotion that has hardly settled down. She is very surprised, “What?”
“You might have not known that although my parents had long passed away, my grandma is still alive,
just—” She glances at the person in the bed. “Her condition is really bad, she has dead-brained for
many years; she’s vegetative and unconscious. There is no sense, all her life depends on the
equipment in this room."
Lily’s eyes struggling for a long time before falling on the face between the white pillow. It is full of
wrinkles and is congested with pale sickness. Her facial features are already unsightly due to age and
disease, especially the body under the quilt. Even though she does not see it directly, she can imagine
how skinny she is.
And this person is Marina’s grandma.
