Seeing Hui Niang lying unconscious in bed with bandages wrapped around her head, Hui Niang's mother and siblings began to wail loudly.
Hui Niang's father, Sun Junren, looked at his daughter in bed and silently wept, covering his face.
After the family cried for a while, the cries gradually subsided, and Sun Junren turned to ask Liu Lang, "What did the doctor say?"
Liu Lang was uncertain how to answer, so Mrs. Chen quickly relayed what Yun Jiao had said.
Sun Junren understood that even if his daughter survived the next few days, it was uncertain when she might die, and at best, she could only lie paralyzed in bed for three to five years.
Hearing this, Hui Niang's mother wailed even louder, "My good daughter, married into your family for only three or four years, has ended up like this. Living is suffering; it'd be better if she were dead!"
Mrs. Chen and Liu Lang stood awkwardly by the side.
