An Yin woke up in the morning to an unexpected phone call.
When the other person stated their na, she was taken aback for a long ti. It wasn’t until the person softly spoke again that An Yin snapped out of her shock.
"H-Huang Yiyi." Having not called the na for ages, An Yin managed to stamr it out.
"An Yin, could you do a favor?"
Huang Yiyi’s voice ca through the phone.
"What is it?" An Yin held the phone, feeling uneasy.
"I’m at the hospital. Could you co over?"
"What happened to you?" An Yin’s eyes slightly trembled as she exclaid in surprise.
"It’s inconvenient to say over the phone. Can you co?"
Huang Yiyi let out a gasp, seemingly suppressing pain.
An Yin hesitated, as they hadn’t been in contact for years. The last ti she went ho, she bumped into Huang Yiyi. They t without recognition, without a word. As for their childhood friendship, it was probably long forgotten by the other party.
"I’m at..."
As An Yin hesitated, the other person, barely holding on, ntioned the na of the hospital, the floor, and the bed number.
After the call ended, An Yin stood dazed, holding her phone.
They had grown up in the sa neighborhood. The address Huang Yiyi ntioned was in T City, not far from T University, and now she’s calling An Yin instead of Doctor Huang, suggesting she urgently needs soone to care for her.
After much thought, An Yin decided to take a day off, not attending the lecture. Even though the finals were approaching, she would feel guilty not going to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, her heart was filled with trepidation.
In less than half an hour, she arrived at the hospital entrance, crossed the lobby, took the elevator, and reached the departnt where Huang Yiyi was. Her eyes burned as she stared at the room number on the wall.
Finally finding the room where Huang Yiyi was, she looked at the tightly closed door, habitually reached out, and knocked.
There was no response from inside. An Yin stood hesitantly at the door.
At this mont, a nurse ca up from behind and directly opened the door.
Feeling awkward, An Yin followed slowly behind the nurse.
The nurse, feeling soone following, turned around and upon seeing a girl as beautiful as a fairy, stared in amazent, her tone becoming incredibly gentle, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I’m looking for Huang Yiyi." An Yin slightly lifted her head, her bright eyes staring directly at the nurse.
Upon hearing the na "Huang Yiyi," the nurse’s gentle face fell, and she replied indifferently, "Follow ."
"Thank you." An Yin mumbled softly.
Always scatterbrained, An Yin noticed the nurse’s change in attitude, but seeing Huang Yiyi was the priority, so she didn’t dwell on it.
After entering the room, passing through a two-ter hallway, there was a bed in the center, and soone was lying on it.
An Yin hastily approached and ca to the bedside.
"Huang Yiyi." An Yin leaned forward and gently called out her na.
Upon hearing the gentle voice, the weak Huang Yiyi slowly opened her eyes, hazily as if seeing the young An Yin from their childhood.
Even at a young age, An Yin had fair skin and a pretty face, causing people who t her to call her "Little Beauty." At that ti, the innocent Huang Yiyi felt proud hearing people call her friend "Little Beauty" because "Little Beauty" was her best friend.
The delicate "Little Beauty" from mory overlapped with the grown-up An Yin. Huang Yiyi slowly blinked and her gaze fell on the nurse behind An Yin; she said laboriously, "I want to talk alone with my sister, can you go out?"
The nurse glanced between the two, nodded, and reminded them before leaving, "Make a decision quickly, the surgery can’t be delayed."
"Hmm."
Huang Yiyi’s eyes moved slightly as she replied.
An Yin stood beside them, full of confusion, but upon hearing about "surgery," her heart clenched.
After the nurse left the room, she closed the door behind her.
The room was exceptionally quiet.
An Yin noticed the room had only one bed, indicating it wasn’t an ordinary ward. She stood blankly at the bedside, looking at Huang Yiyi’s pale face, even her lips were shockingly white.
"What happened to you?" An Yin started to speak.
Earlier, when Huang Yiyi spoke with the nurse, she referred to her as "sister," which sent a warm feeling through An Yin’s heart.
"I’m scheduled for surgery soon. Could you sign for ?" Huang Yiyi looked at her with longing.
"I can’t do that." An Yin staggered back in horror, "You can ask Doctor Huang to co."
"No." Huang Yiyi shook her head anxiously while lying down.
The excitent seed to cause pain from her wound, and she gasped, her face contorted with pain.
Seeing this, An Yin anxiously moved forward, "I’ll call the nurse."
"No need." Huang Yiyi endured the discomfort and continued, "An Yin, please help . I don’t want Dad to know about this."
She looked at An Yin with a sincere expression, her tone pleading.
Seeing her in such distress still trying to persuade her, An Yin felt uneasy as well.
Huang Yiyi saw An Yin hesitating and continued, "I’m pregnant."
An Yin stared wide-eyed at Huang Yiyi, then listened as she spoke again.
"The doctor said the child can’t be saved and needs to be terminated." As Huang Yiyi said this, her eyelashes quivered and her pretty face showed so reluctance and confusion.
"Can’t you have the child’s father sign?" An Yin, still reeling from the shock earlier, asked, her voice trembling.
"If he was willing to sign, would I have called you?" Huang Yiyi responded with a bitter smile pulling at her lips.
An Yin was speechless, standing in place not knowing what to do.
However, seeing the sorrowful look on Huang Yiyi’s face, she felt a deep sadness.
The scenes of them playing together as children couldn’t escape her mind, even though they grew apart later. The genuine friendship they once had left a mark in her heart.
"Is this surgery very dangerous?" After a mont of inner conflict, An Yin gently asked.
Huang Yiyi saw a hint of An Yin’s willingness to relent, and mustered a smile more unsightly than a cry, "Any surgery carries risks. You only need to sign, regardless of the outco, all risks are mine to bear."
"But I’m scared..."
"You’re still as timid as ever." Huang Yiyi interrupted, silently looking at her.
Huang Yiyi’s words instantly brought back their mories.
An Yin had always been timid and afraid of causing trouble. As a child, when kids mocked her for not having a father, she would only hide and cry silently, whereas Huang Yiyi would boldly stand up, hands on hips, scolding them fiercely, leaving An Yin amazed.
