Tao Zhijie and Cao Yong entered the ward one after the other.
The atmosphere felt off.
The air was filled with a palpable tension, yet the faces of those inside did not show overt signs of anxiety. The level of focus each person held suggested that nobody noticed their arrival, including He Guangyou, who had arrived earlier and now stood motionless by the bed.
Something unusual alerted Tao Zhijie and Cao Yong, making them cautious as they approached the bedside.
In the corridor outside the ward, anxious relatives saw several doctors entering one after another. Their heads peeked around nervously. Seeing this, Zhu Huicang, who had followed, told the relatives, "Wait outside, we will inform you if there's anything." After speaking, he entered the ward and firmly closed the door behind him.
"Cao Yong—" Zhu Huicang spoke up from behind his old classmate, "It's not her, it's someone else."
Cao Yong seemed not to have heard him.
