"I'll tell you where she is, but first, I need you to promise that we will support her." She said looking at the two.
"No. She tricked me!" Night was still indignant.
"Yuyu has a health condition and she is not well physically. That is the reason why she's looking for me. As for you Alex, she wanted your help so she can get a divorce. She needed us. Her health should be our priority." Sandy explained.
"Wait. Why did she look for you two? Was I not present? I am rich! I can support her too! And her husband!" Night complained.
"That's why she doesn't want your help. You support her husband. Did you know what did her husband do?" Sandy asked night.
"He doesn't have an affair! It was that woman seducing him! I saw the video!" He was trying to explain for his poor friend.
"Alright. How much of the story do you know?" Sandy tested him.
"Wasn't it the reason why she left? She got jealous and thought the two of them have something to get back together with? But YaoFeng is not in a relationship with that Cheng woman!" Night tried to convince them.
Alex was just listening.
"Our sister is not that petty and she will not throw away a husband just because of a woman. She can access the CCTV if she has to, right? If she wants to kick out that woman, she can do better than any of us. But did you ever think why she has to hide? All right, let's sit down and let me enlighten the two of you." The three of them huddled on the couch.
"Yuyu wanted to get out of her marriage because her husband married her only because she can give him a child in the first place." She eyed Night meaningfully knowing that it was his fault for not taking care of their sister and allowing that man to be with Yuyu when he is fully aware of the man's health condition.
"Yuyu felt used. Now, she is pregnant. She heard something from her husband that made her hide in fear. Her husband will insist on keeping her and they will fight for custody. So that's something you'll need to work on Alex."
The two men were trying to focus with the load of information. The youngest of them is already pregnant. Although their age were very close as they were all adopted, still, Yuyu is the youngest to get married and have a child.
"I'll be flying back to London later. I already arranged her medical needs until after birth in case I cannot come back. The two of you should look after her." She eyed them. "And you Alex, make sure her legal matters are settled before you go back to the US."
Night was conflicted. He cannot speak for YaoFeng, and he felt guilty to her sister. "Where is Yuyu?" he asked. "Is she hiding in her room?" he's still a bit affected about that matter.
"She's not in her room," Night breathed a relief when he heard it from Sandy. At least he was not fooled like a.. "at the moment. She's inside my room." His draw dropped. That little witch really was living with him all these months?
"Let's go, she's waiting to get the good news that you are here Alex, she will be surprised."
The three of them headed to Sandy's room. The two men were excited to see the surprise on their sister's face as Sandy said she was waiting to know about the earlier commotion.
Their faces frowned when they got inside Sandy's room. There was no excited waiting sister. Instead, a slightly fat woman with big stomach snores on the bed.
"Wow, she looks heavy," Alex commented. "You should train your arms Night, in case you need to carry her to the hospital when the time comes. If i'm here, I'll be the driver." Alex already planned a better job for himself.
"Why is her hair purple? And why is her tummy so big? When is she giving birth?" Night cannot believe it. This woman was his little sister! He used to dote on her the most and they live closer than anyone else. He was so amazed with the pregnant woman.
"The hair is just a fashion style." Sandy explained. "The tummy is because there are two babies inside, and she's already in the third trimester. Night," she turned to him, "You are her guardian. Although she's already married and of age, you are the closest family she has, in case the husband mistreats her. The third trimester is crucial. She can give birth at seven months but it's risky at the eighth. The best of course is to take care of her up to full terms which is the ninth month."
Sandy watched the two men starting to have difficulty catching up.
"There is a pregnancy calendar on the wall inside her room. Follow the weekly counting. She may give birth in between the thirty sixth to fortieth weeks.
She already knows it, she just needs a hand." She assured the boys.

Ming YaoFeng was looking for his extra eyeglasses he remembered keeping in one of the drawers of their bedside table. His attention was caught by the queen chess piece. The last time he saw it was when his wife put it inside the chess box.
A sneaky feeling rose in his heart and he looked for her box.
He keyed in the queen's scepter and the box opened. The first thing that came out was a black and white photo of something. Followed by three plastic sticks with different sizes. He even got a crumpled purple cloth that has been squeezed tightly to fit the box. He immediately switched the bright light of the room and studied the contents.
As far as he can remember, the last thing his wife put inside the box was their wedding photo. It means that she added a collection after that. He studied the contents and couldn't help but smile. This light material night dress symbolizes her first night? His lips curved remembering that night. Then he sorted out what the sticks for and found two lines on it. This was his first time holding it but he knew it was a pregnancy test! She really was pregnant! And the photo earlier, he tried to picture it out. Although he doesn't understand it, he knew that it was the photo of their baby.
He already confirmed she was pregnant after calling the hospital and watching the CCTV from the bakeshop. However, having a hold of something like this… is like already holding a baby in his hands. His eyes warmed up again. He missed them. He missed his family. He was so sad and happy at the same time. How can he get her back?

Next day Ming Corporation.
Ming YaoFeng was surprised to bump into Assistant Xu.
"Boss, I was about to call you! Alex White is upstairs and wanted to see you!" he reported.
"Why did you leave him alone? Go back there and serve him coffee and tea and everything you could offer!" the two of them hurried to the CEO's elevator.
---
Alex looked around the CEO's office while enjoying the coffee. He was treated warmly by the secretary when they found out he was Yuyu's brother.
It was evident that his sister lived warmly on the top floor. He saw she has photos with the secretaries outside, and inside the CEO's office he can see a touch of purple everywhere.
Why does she like that color? She even colored her hair purple.
Ming YaoFeng arrived and shook hands with him curtly. Alex watched as he carefully transferred a purple cushion to the customized lavender executive chair beside him. He can say that he treated his wife well to allow her to dominate the place like her own.
It looks like the handsome CEO is boarding on a woman's office instead of the other way around.
He cleared his throat and focused. "Mr. Ming, the reason I am here is because I wanted to discuss my sister's request for a divorce with you." Alex watched the man before him.
His face turned cold but his voice was soft. "Is Yuyu with you? Is she doing well?"
Alex was surprised. He prepared for a raging CEO as that's how his siblings told him so. But the CEO today is not angry at all. Did they get the wrong person?
"My sister is fine. She cannot move around so it would be inconvenient for her to meet you. That's why I came for her." He explained.
"Let me read the papers. I want to understand why my wife wanted a divorce." Ming YaoFeng said as he prepared something on his computer. He had completely piled the recordings that day so he can understand her side and did not expect he would need to share this to a brother-in-law he just met today. Even Night was not able to see the complete video.
Alex opened his briefcase and pulled out a folder. When he passed it to Ming YaoFeng, the latter turned his laptop to him, "Review this first while I read the divorce agreement." He said as he took the folder and started reading. Alex has no choice but to watch and listen on the screen.
