Ye Youyou lowered her head and walked forward. The surrounding darkness cloaked her eyes. She lost all sense of direction.
Cars zoomed past, and locals walked on the pavement. A yellow glow emanated from the street lamps above. The heat and humidity in the air were suffocating. They brought with them a sense of despondency.
The gloomy weather intensified the pain in Ye Youyou's heart. The pain spread throughout her whole body, which was soon convulsing uncontrollably.
Her head began to spin. She couldn't take it any longer. She crouched down and started to cry aloud.
Many passersby noticed Ye Youyou, but all they did was take a second look. No one stopped to ask after her.
Boom…
Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed across the sky. The rumble of thunder warned the pedestrians to take shelter.
