Prologue

In the city hospital, where people are coming and going, Lu Wei Xi, with a cup of hot cocoa in her

hand, got her call number and walked to the already packed waiting room.

The temperature of this year's winter has been fluctuating, the difference between the morning and

the evening is extremely high.

After moving through the crowd with great difficulty, she finally found a seat in the corner.

It is already half past ten in the evening and the steady sound of low coughs and movements echoed

around the room. She cautiously sat down and unconsciously embraced the hot cocoa to warm her

frozen hands.
