Beside her, Bai Qinghuan’s gaze was faint, and her cold demeanor seemed accustomed to everything in front of her, indifferent to others’ accusations and slurs as if nothing touched her.

Yet, Ji Dong caught a glimpse of the girl’s fingers hidden in the sleeve of her patient gown, tightly clutching her palm.

It wasn’t that she was completely unmoved.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Ji Dong saw the nurse struggling to support Bai Qinghuan and extended his hand to help Bai Qinghuan over. The nurse thanked him repeatedly with gratitude.

Suddenly pulled into the embrace of a man, Bai Qinghuan reflexively struggled. Except for Shen Han, she wasn’t comfortable with any man’s touch. Ji Dong held her firm and said in a deep voice, “Quiet!”

“Let… go of me,” her voice still sounded weak.

Ji Dong’s frown deepened upon hearing the feeble voice, clearly indicating physical weakness. Why then, he wondered, was she being pushed out of the room by everyone?

Why was it that everyone in the room couldn’t tolerate Bai Qinghuan?

It was because of a man.

A man who had once made his way into the city from the outskirts, in search of relatives.

Under the persistent questioning of Doctor Song and Ji Dong, a relentless woman dragged a gaunt man in his twenties out of the room.

“Big guy, come and tell us, what kind of person is this woman?”

Taken aback by being hauled out so suddenly, the man glanced at the furious Doctor Song, then at Ji Dong, whose expression was equally stern. He was tongue-tied for the moment, afraid to utter a word.

“Well, speak up!” the woman urged.

“She… she… is unclean,” the man finally stammered out.

Ji Dong’s brows furrowed even more because he felt the girl in his arms flinch upon hearing the gaunt man’s words.

It was not out of fear, but because of suppressed anger.

Doctor Song, furious, said, “What do you mean, unclean! If you’re sick, you see a doctor. If you’re not, who would come to the hospital just to trouble themselves!”

The woman stepped forward, wanting to clutch at the doctor’s sleeve to plead her case, but was flung away by Doctor Song, who scolded, “Talk properly, what’s the need for tugging!”

Patients from the neighboring rooms, having nothing better to do during their hospital stay, gathered around at the sight of a commotion.

The woman, along with the people inside, made it clear that they wouldn’t let Bai Qinghuan enter the room.

“Fine, if the big guy feels embarrassed to say it, I will. This girl has been played rotten by men outside the city! Who knows what kind of bacteria she carries, a shameless wretch unworthy of respect. Living with someone like her, who knows if we might catch some filthy sickness. Life is tough enough as it is, we don’t want to bring trouble upon ourselves. She can go wherever she wants, but we won’t stay in the same ward with her. I think all the bedding and things she has used at the hospital need to be properly disinfected, just so it doesn’t infect anyone else!”

“Baseless accusations, spreading nonsense!”

“Nonsense?! Ha, come here, big guy, and tell everyone, wasn’t this girl played rotten by those man-eating men from outside the city?” she said, gripping the gaunt man and pushing him forward.

“…Yes, she was abducted by those men and held for a long time. They… they’ve already killed many women. I don’t know how she’s still alive,” the man sneaked a glance at Bai Qinghuan.

Bai Qinghuan bit her lower lip, her complexion ashen.

Her deepest pain was being exposed under broad daylight, her wounds mercilessly dug open and salt rubbed in, causing her fingertips to throb with pain.

If she could have chosen, she would have wished none of it had ever happened, but at this moment, she didn’t even have the strength to retort.
