"No need. We still have half an hour. I have to do rounds and I'll be back. Eat your food slowly." The head nurse turned and left the two of them.
YaoFeng joined her and they ate quietly.
Yuyu dared not to look at him in case she lost herself and just focused on eating.
Her phone rang and her eyes lit up. "Thank you for the food. I'm done. Have someone clean it." She stood up and hurriedly picked up her phone. She connected the headphones that were earlier on the laptop so she cannot hear her background.
"Why so early? Yes I did. From now on, I'm in charge of the finances. Really? Umm.. Hospital bill? No. Why would I go to the hospital?"
Yuyu scratched her head. She swiped the company issued card the first time she came here!
"Is that the XX Hospital? Ah yes! That was near our home. I helped someone that Night. I'll return the money. It's a long story."
She sighed and wrote something on the wall.
"Okay got it. By the way, I need to separate my account with you. I'll have more expenses than you and that would be unfair. Okay, Thanks! I'll work hard." Yuyu ended the call and immersed herself in the computer.
The head nurse came back to give her a shot and YaoFeng used the bathroom to freshen up.
When he came out of the bath, Yuyu was not in the room. He thought she's doing some exercise so he started working on his laptop.
He plans to stay with her in the hospital and just drive to the office if there's an important meeting. It will only take a few minutes to be there, but it felt forever to drive his way here as he brought his necessities.
After an hour, YaoFeng frowned and called the nurse's line.
"Where is Yuyu?" he inquired.
The nurse looked up at her record and searched for Yuyu's schedule.
"She's attending therapy and won't be back for another hour sir."
YaoFeng hung up. He went out to the nurse station and asked them to give him a copy of her wife's schedule. He couldn't help but frown as he reviewed the details printed on the paper.
Aside from physical therapy for her shoulder and arm, there's also psychotherapy? Was it because of the nightmares?
He went back to the room and worked. It was beyond the two hours schedule already and Yuyu is not yet back. He needed to attend a meeting so he left first without seeing her.

Dr. Diane Wang (Wang Ning) a middle aged woman spent a longer time with her client today than the usual two hours meeting with just the young lady looking at her and biting her lips.
Today is different. She talked to her and it's something every therapist is waiting for in situations like this. The patient is willing to share her thoughts.
"Do you have a child doctor?" asked the girl.
"Yes dear. I have a son and a daughter." she replied.
"I also have a son and a daughter." the patient replied.
They talked about their children for the whole session and nothing about the patient's anxiety.
Still, Diane is confident that a few more meetings will lead her patient into trusting her and she can successfully help understand and resolve her nightmare problems.
"If you want to talk more about other things, you can add more appointments with me. My son is also working in this hospital every afternoon so we can all have coffee or tea."
The patient was very engaging today and agreed for more meetings with her.
Diane was specially called by the hospital director for this patient. She would not have accepted this job if it was not for a favor she needs to return. She's currently assisting her father into another case.
----
Yuyu came back to the room and was relieved to see that her husband was gone.
She focused on dividing the joint savings she had with Night. She needed to manage the finances of the White Global to make more money. More money to buy breast milk, more money for the children, and for her hospitalization that the doctors said can last up to two months.
The wall was filled with more financial plans and how to get more money before lunchtime and she added an afternoon appointment with her psychiatrist.
Ming YaoFeng came back to the hospital with food from their house. It was given to him by Nana Luo the last time and he only needed to reheat them.
He brought with him the hospital director so Yuyu will not ignore him.
Yuyu's attention was caught when someone knocked on the door and came in.
A smile appeared on her face when the director came in, however, she was not able to keep it after seeing the tall man behind him.
"I heard that you scheduled more time with Diane." The director said.
Yuyu walked towards him and entertained him on the sofa. "She's nice to talk with and we have so many common things to talk about. Besides, I'm bored here." Yuyu reasoned out.
"I'll keep my wife company from now on, director." YaoFeng interrupted.
Yuyu's fearful eyes looked up at him and immediately altered her surroundings. It did not escape Ming YaoFeng. His wife's breathing suddenly tensed and his heart clenched as he watched her raising up her guard against him.
A clap came from the director's hand. "That's great! If your husband is staying with you, do you need JiaJia to be your personal nurse? Because I already prepared her papers, we can sign it or cancel it."
YaoFeng started heating up the food and preparing the table for lunch.
"I still need JiaJia director." She does not want to be alone all the time with YaoFeng. "I will hire her as long as I stay here. There are so many things I need to do and my husband still has a company to run." She explained reasonably.
"Director, come and eat with us. The food was from her family; you can taste the specialty of the Whites." YaoFeng prepared three sets for them and the director did not refuse.
Yuyu was forced to join them and forgot the rest of her worries as she tasted nana Luo's soup.
"I missed this so much! I miss London! I miss my children! I miss my family!" she exclaimed as she put more food in her mouth. She did not notice the moist covering her eyes and she just wiped her eyes with her hand while eating.
The director and YaoFeng exchanged looks.
"I can bring the kids here if you want." YaoFeng said as he waited for her reply.
Yuyu's hand stopped in midair as she reached for a dumpling. She bit her lower lip before she remembered to continue reaching for the food.
"Don't bring the children here." There was sadness in her voice and she felt conflicted. "They may catch a virus. Just keep them at home. Soleil will get sick easily."
The director finished his food immediately as he felt like the two needed more time.
"Thank you for the meal. It was great! Invite me again next time! For now, I have to see another patient. I'll leave you first."
He immediately stood up and left.
YaoFeng and Yuyu were left in awkward silence. Yuyu looked at her bowl and luckily, there's no more rice. She did not dare take another serving and just drank water before putting down her chopstick quietly. She was so nervous to be alone with him.
YaoFeng put down his chopsticks as well and started cleaning up. Yuyu pushed the bowls with trembling hands. Luckily, YaoFeng told her to go back to her work and she almost flew as soon as he finished those words.
He felt guilty as his presence can make her tremble in fear.
---
Yuyu spent an hour with her laptop on the little study table while YaoFeng worked on the big sofa. She felt sleepy and checked the time, she still had three hours before Diane came back so she went to bed and slept.
Ming YaoFeng looked so engrossed with his computer but the truth is, he's listening intently to her breathing. When he confirmed that she's sleeping, he stood up and walked to the bed to watch her.
The bruises are now fading from purple to black which means she's healing but its looking more visible. He reached out to stroke her face but was afraid to wake her up so he told himself to be content watching her. She almost turned the other way again, and he immediately held her waist to avoid her wound from touching the bed. Luckily, she did not wake up and steadied herself sleeping on her left side.
Soon, JiaJia came and YaoFeng left Yuyu to check why the nurse was there.
"I just dropped by to tell her that I signed the contract and will accompany her starting tomorrow morning. The director assigned me from six in the morning to seven in the evening as her personal nurse. He said that you'll be taking care of her at night time so I'll see her tomorrow."
YaoFeng frowned. If this nurse is present all day, his wife will ignore her.
"Let's talk outside," he gestured her to go out and closed the door.
YaoFeng looked at her nameplate. "JiaJia, is it possible for you to work for us at night time?" He paused before explaining. "I'll be working here during the day and accompany her, but I also need to sleep at night. At night, if both of us are sleeping, you can read your books or play games or eat inside the room. I just need another person to help me look after her when I cannot." He explained wisely.
JiaJia's eyes twinkled. "CEO Ming, the truth is, I wanted a night shift because the pay is higher and I need it for my mother. The director placed me on a day shift because of you. But if you can talk to him, I'll sleep now and be back later at seven in the evening."
"Give me your papers and I will fix it. You don't have to work twelve hours. You can come at ten in the evening and leave six in the morning, I will still pay you twelve hours. You can use your other time anyway you want. I just want more time with my wife. If you like the deal, you can sign a new contract later." Ming YaoFeng offered.
That was a very good offer for someone like JiaJia so she immediately agreed.
"One last thing, don't tell my wife. I want more moments with her." He eyed her and went back to the room.
