Chapter 16 At The Morgue
- The morgue? Gu Zechuan froze. ‘Isn’t that the place where they place the dead bodies? What could a woman like Xia He possibly be doing in that place?’
- "Doctor, aren’t you making a mistake somewhere? The woman I’m looking for is called Xia He. She is a living person. She isn’t dead!"
- The doctor only replied calmly. "I take it that you must be Mr. Gu, Ms. Xia’s husband, correct? Did you not know that Ms. Xia was already at the final stage of her lung cancer? Her days were short enough as it is already, but so that she might be able to keep the child, she chose to burn through whatever little she had remained of her life instead. This morning, the cancer inside her had already began spreading out of control, far beyond what we can handle. We tried our best to bring her back, but in the end, we were unable to hold her life to this world even for a fraction of a second longer."
