Lilin skipped out the ward hand-in-hand with Melinda.

Only Corinne and Emily remained in the ward, looking at each other shyly.

Emily was the first to break the silence. She smiled gently and said, "Moonie, do you still...remember me?"

Emily was taken aback. She glanced at her own forearm and shook her head. "It's nothing serious."

Corinne looked into Emily's eyes. Her emotions were complex and bitter. She was not a child anymore, and it also seemed that it was no longer suitable for her to throw herself into her mother's arms carefreely.
