The middle-aged woman, flustered and frantic, lunged forward to grab Su Shen—only to discover, to her dismay, that he was completely immovable. It was like trying to tug at the base of a marble statue.
Originally, Su Shen had merely intended to toss the young man out of the hospital room and be done with it. But given the way things were escalating, he realized that simply leaving him at the door would likely mean more disruption later. With one hand still gripping the young man by the collar, he turned on his heel and dragged him straight down the hallway.
The woman followed, her wailing cries echoing off the sterile hospital walls like some tragic opera performance.
