"You're weak, and it's chilly at night. You can't go out, lest you end up with lingering health issues. I'll go to the hospital first and call you to tell you the results. If you want to go, wait until it's sunny during the day, and I'll come pick you up, or have a soldier take you to the hospital." He Teng knew that He Zhilan was worried about Lin Deng. After all, during the months He Zhilan stayed in the village, she saw Lin Deng the most, and Lin Deng took great care of her.
He Zhilan was also afraid that in her current physical condition, she would be a burden to He Teng and the others if she went, so she didn't insist on going. She instructed He Teng to drive carefully and only returned to her room after seeing him out the door.
She didn't go out, but now she had one more thing to worry about. How could she sleep?
