Sick

Shu Pan had been extra cautious lately because Gu Shaoting had learned about Joy's existence. She was afraid that Gu Shaoting might suddenly take Joy away. So, from going to school to coming back home, she took matters into her own hands and couldn't relax.

In Bin City, October already brought a cool autumn breeze, with fallen leaves lightly dancing in the wind, making a soft "crunch" under pedestrians' footsteps.

Shu Pan was under pressure due to her busy work schedule and the stress had taken a toll on her. Eventually, she fell ill.

One morning, she felt light-headed and her body felt weightless. Luckily, it was the weekend, so she didn't need to take Joy to kindergarten. She prepared some milk and boiled eggs for Joy in a daze.

Then she told Joy to eat her breakfast and play with her toys, not to touch anything in the house, and not to open the door. If anything happened, she should call her.
