[Evercare Hospital]
Xiajun stared thoughtlessly at the blank screen of his phone. Though he was annoyed that Changming's father had hung up on him so abruptly, he was much too exhausted to ponder upon it for too long.
Sighing, he laid back against his seat and put a tired arm over his eyes. The lights overhead felt too bright and the hospital smells felt too strong. During all the chaos and stress, he had forgotten just how much he hated hospitals.
He found himself getting up off the cool, metal seat and looking around in a daze. Something about deserted hospitals so deep into the night felt somehow unreal. With a forced heavy step, he carried himself forward and out of the hospital doors until he was standing right under the dotted night sky.
He checked the time on his phone: 3:42.
