The doors for the wards here were made of special materials. There was an iron door behind a door, and a specialized nurse guarded each ward.

Cordelia remembered how flustered she was when her mother first got sick. In the end, it was her neighbors who helped her bring her here. At that time, when Cordelia saw this prison-like door, she had assumed she would never see her mother again and had cried out helplessly.

“Xyla!” The nurse opened the door and walked over to the woman with a smile on her face. She wrung a hot towel out and placed it on the hand of the woman sitting in the wheelchair. “Good news. Your daughter is here to see you again.”

Cordelia placed the things on the table, and the nurse left afterward, leaving both of them in the ward.

Cordelia smiled and helped her mother to pin her hair with a hairpin.

“Mom, look.” She gave her the mirror and said, “Do you like this hairstyle?”
