In the hospital, Gu Lihui suddenly noticed an increase in the number of doctors, nurses, and random people coming to his ward. Moreover, most of them would let their eyes linger on him before standing far away, pointing and whispering.
He felt like he'd become an animal at the zoo, a monkey for everyone to gawk at.
And that wasn't all. The changes that followed made him even more uncomfortable. Before, the other patients and their families in his room would smile at him and occasionally help with small things, like fetching hot water. But suddenly, they started avoiding him like the plague. Even the nurses no longer had a pleasant expression when they came to change his dressings. Their movements became much rougher, and their attitude wasn't just cold—it carried a biting chill.
