Beneath the White Curtain
Abstract：The white curtain divides the ultrasound examination area into two quiet spaces. Each corner surrounded by the curtain hides a heart being carefully listened to, and a life unknown to others.
That day, when I called out "Next, Su Yuan (pseudonym)", the examination room fell silent. I raised my voice and repeated it again, but no one responded. After a few seconds, an elderly woman waiting at the door couldn't help but remind: "Doctor, if no one answers, call the next one, everyone is waiting." Before she finished speaking, the curtain was gently lifted, and a young woman with pale face and thin body slowly stepped in. Her movements were slow, as if each step carried an invisible weight. When she lay on the examination bed, her fingers tightly gripped the edge of her clothes, and her joints turned pale from the effort.
