Waiting is a lonely business.
Waiting for someone who will never come back is even lonelier.
But Hu Jiasheng was still waiting. He wasn't dead, of course. Much had happened since.
Shen Yue did not question, but felt a slight guilt deep inside. He saw that although Hu Jiasheng was alive, he was merely an empty shell.
The lamplight in the cell was dim and desolate, like a past too painful to revisit.
After a long pause, Hu Jiasheng finally murmured again: "But as you can see, I'm not dead."
The three princes exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, we're not blind. If he were dead, the situation would be entirely too horrifying.
Shen Yue said in a low voice, "Was it Ishida Hideko who saved you?"
If Nuanyu could perform miraculous healing, then a simple gun in this world could assume the role of a doctor. It was perfectly normal for Ishida Hideko to have exceptional medical skills.
