All of us know how close MM Lee is to his wife. But according to Hsien Yang, he only went home for a short while when his wife died before returning back to the hospital. Why is he not grieving at his dead wife side together with the whole family, unless his condition is that serious that he is unable to stay for long and had to return back to the hospital to grieve alone?
