As he spoke, Assistant Chen looked back again at President Shen inside the main hall, his face full of worry.
Snapping back to reality, Assistant Chen turned to ask the young monk, "Has President Shen been kneeling here for a long time?"
The young monk thought for a moment, then honestly informed him, "Four hours."
Assistant Chen's brow furrowed, four hours already, and President Shen had been kneeling there so straight the whole time?
President Shen had been taking care of Mrs. Shen day and night these past few days, and now he was kneeling there in such cold weather, how could he possibly keep it up!
Assistant Chen knew about Mrs. Shen's coma, but was it of any use for President Shen to kneel here while she was unconscious?
He had worked alongside President Shen for many, many years, serving as his assistant ever since the time when President Shen was still Manager Shen.
