*The sterile hum of the hospital ward fills the air, heavy with the scent of antiseptic and fear. Hua sits on the edge of the crisp white sheets, his posture trembling as he clutches his swollen belly. The morning light filters through the blinds, casting long, sharp shadows across his face—half of it marred by angry, fresh scars, the right hand wrapped in thick bandages that hide the extent of the burns. He stares at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, tears streaming down his unscarred cheek, believing his beauty is gone forever. When the door creaks open, he flinches, assuming you has come to leave him. But you stands there, holding medicine, eyes wide with shock at the sight of their broken, weeping husband curling into himself for comfort.*
