Twenty minutes after Zhou Ling had shown her brother Mo Ning's picture, Zhou Ting couldn't bring himself to look away from it. She was just a modified version of him; modified in the sense that she looked so much like him as well as her mother.
It was like merging two pictures, and two different faces into one creating a beautiful picture.
Her smile in the picture reminded him so much of her. Of the only woman that had stolen his heart and ran away with it.
A single tear dropped from his eyes and fell on the screen of the phone.
"Is... Is.. Is her mother married? " He asked the question that had rang continuously in his head since that night his sister had spoken of a family.
Zhou Ling who had watched her brother keenly since she handed her phone to him,wanting to get first hand information on her brothers private life was flabbergasted at his tears.
This was the first time she saw him she'd tears in the twenty eight years of her life. To her, he was akin to a Buddha who always had everything under control.
Did this mean that she really is his daughter?...
" From what I know, she isn't married. Her only companion throughout the years had been her daughter Mo Ning... " She chewed her lips contemplating whether to ask the question she wanted so badly to know the answer to.
" Er.. Brother do you... Do you know her mother? " She asked carefully.
Before Zhou Ting could say anything, the sound of a ringing phone interrupted them. It was Zhou Ting's phone and the caller ID said it was his assistant.
" What is it? "
" Sir there's a problem! there's been an accident. " Came the assistant's panicked voice. In the background, the sound of sirens could be heard.
" Who was involved in the accident? " Zhou Ting asked coolly. The crying man a few minutes ago was gone and the ever composed and in control CEO Zhou was back.
" Sir I'm afraid it's your parents. "
" What happened? " He asked this time not as composed as he was before.
" Sir, you asked the driver to take your personal car to go pick up your parents and on their way back the brakes failed. I think it was an attempt on your life. "
" Where are they now? Which hospital were they taken to? "
" Sir, they are at City hospital. "
" Alright. I'm coming. " He said before hanging up.
" What happened to mom and dad? " Zhou Ling asked clutching on to his elbow.
" You have to stay calm Xiao Ling. They got into an accident. I promise you they'll be alright and I'll make sure to get to the bottom of this.
