After (21)

Xu Jiamu paused, then added, "Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Song, but could you please close the door behind you on your way out."

He turned around and headed for the stairs without the slightest hint of wanting to compromise.

Song Xiangsi hurriedly reached her hand out and pulled his arm.

That familiar warm sensation made Xu Jiamu's entire body numb. After two seconds, he flung her hand away.

This time, Song Xiangsi tightly grabbed onto him with both hands. She didn't know if it was because she was scared or worried, but her hand started to shiver. "I don't have time to find someone else to help. The doctor says that they don't have enough in their blood bank and that the situation is dire. Someone could die at any time! Please, I'm begging you! Please, help me just this once, okay?"
