I didn't know if I was comforting the other person or myself.

Sleeping was out of the question; it was better to just get up.
Like the previous few days, I got up, washed up, prepared something to eat, then went downstairs to work.
The streets were empty. After all, people hadn't returned yet.
Even the families living in the residential building didn't feel like going out.
Understandable. Everyone was worried.

Four more days passed.
Since the call I received in the operating room a few days ago, there had been no news.
Lu Jing had become numb.
All I did was work, ensuring I never had a moment of idleness.
Tonight was the last night shift; after it, I would have two days off.
Lu Jing had already decided to clean the house during these two days.
