"Very good."

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yeah. I had a bowl of rice and some soup. The dishes here are pretty good, much better than South Side's cafeteria."

"Then eat more. If you want to eat something that isn't provided here, call me."

"Okay."

"Okay… Rest early, I will head back now." Su Yu got up warily.

"Don't worry, I will take care of myself. I will eat my meals on time and sleep on time," Huo Mian comforted Su Yu, but it only made Su Yu feel worse.

Huo Mian kept a soft smile on her face up until the moment Su Yu disappeared behind the door.

She sat on the bed quietly and looked out the window. A feeling of deep despair that no one would understand reflected through her darkened eyes.

Upon leaving the Military Hospital, Su Yu's heart ached. He knew too well that Huo Mian was putting on a show for everyone. She couldn't possibly be fine.
