Su Li heard Mrs. Tang's voice and glanced outside. By the time she realized something was wrong and turned around, it was too late to react.
The IV stand fell with a crash. Amid the chaotic clatter, Su Li watched Little Tang Mo curl into a ball on the floor, her heart twisting in agony.
The IV needle had been ripped from Little Tang Mo's hand, and blood slowly seeped from the wound.
Little Tang Mo didn't seem to feel a thing, simply pulling the blanket over himself and curling into a tight ball.
"Momo, Grandma didn't mean it! Grandma's just gone mad, Grandma was wrong..." Mrs. Tang's sobs drifted in from outside again.
"Mrs. Tang, don't go in..." Aunt Chang's voice followed, trying to stop her.
"No, I have to go in! I have to see my Momo! Momo, Grandma didn't mean it, Grandma was wrong. Please forgive Grandma..."
Outside, Mrs. Tang was wailing inconsolably.
