Chen Rou Jiao bewildered when she hit the floor. It was not gave her so much pain but somehow a memory flash back in her mind. About a same scene where someone was pushed down and cause that person's hands bleeding.
At that moment, Chen Rou Jiao pressed her chest. She felt her chest tightened and she had hard time to breath. She tried to take a deep breath but the painful memory caused a trauma for her and she feel the world became dark and that's all she remembered.
Xie Rong shocked when her friend collapsed on the floor. "CHEN ROU JIAO!" She immediately came to aid Chen Rou Jiao, tried to wake her up but that girl did not response to any of her efforts.
Yu Sheng was stunned with Chen Rou Jiao's condition when he thought that his force was not too powerful to make anyone unconscious. He stepped backward, with his eyes trembled with disbelief.
CEO Zhang Ren Hao and his assistant, Miss An happened to come to the scene and witness Yu Sheng's action. He was furious seeing Chen Rou Jiao lying on the floor unconscious.
He shot a glare at Yu Sheng. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"
Yu Sheng startled with Zhang Ren Hao reproached and he tried to leave the place.
Unfortunately, CEO Zhang took a quick response by ordered the security to stop Yu Sheng.
CEO Zhang turned his head to his assistant and said calmly, "Call the police, Lian Lian jie."
"Right away sir."
CEO Zhang went to Chen Rou Jiao and brought her to his car. Xie Rong followed CEO Zhang and she never spared a glance toward her boyfriend.
"Xie Rong. Please. I did not mean to harm her." No matter how much Yu Sheng tried plead, Xie Rong seems refused to listen to him anymore. She walked away, passing through the struggle Yu Sheng to CEO Zhang.
Yu Sheng watched her back with guilt in his heart.

Everything around her was pitch black. Chen Rou Jiao turned around, looking for any light area but nothing. She started became nervous and worried.
"CHEN ROU JIAO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"
A few seconds later, Chen Rou Jiao heard a man called her name in such an aggressive way. She knew the owner of the voice, thus she bend down to her knees, burst into tears.
"I am sorry. I am sorry." she sobbed.
"Chen Rou Jiao. Please open your eyes."
Chen Rou Jiao heard the smooth pleading of a man out of nowhere. Not the same person, and she felt her right hand getting warmer, like something invisible was holding her hand gently.
###
Chen Rou Jiao opened her eyes slowly. Then she closed it again after receiving amount of bright light all of sudden. She closed it tightly and groaned.
She heard someone gasped. She lifted her eyelids halfway and saw a blurry figure staring at her with his eyes widened and an excited smile on his face. She had a guess about that person but she kept herself in denial.
"No way that person is him." her heart whispered. She closed her eyes again.
She heard that person calling someone but the exhausted from a nightmare cause a toll on her. She went to sleep again.
Chen Rou Jiao woke up once again but this time she was much better than before. There was no too much exposure of light around her, thus she was able to fully awake. Enough for her tried to examine the place she was right now.
First thing caught her eyes was the the figure of a nurse, jotted something in her report.
"Ex..cuse me.." Her hoarse and low voice unable to notify the nurse.
Chen Rou Jiao felt her throat was dry. Maybe because she hadn't drink a dropped of water since.... she couldn't remember.
"Ex..cuse me,.." She tried to lift her left arm slowly, the side where the nurse was standing.
The nurse finally noticed her and smiled nicely. She walked towards Chen Rou Jiao, "You finally awake, Miss Chen."
Chen Rou Jiao nodded weakly. "Water."
"Oh! Wait." The nurse put down her report and pour some water into a glass and put a straw in it before she gave the glass to Chen Rou Jiao.
Chen Rou Jiao slowly drink the water. In a blink of an eye, she clear them all without wasting a single drop.
The nurse put the glass back to the small table next to the bed.
"Miss Chen. Wait here, I will call the doctor for you."
Chen Rou Jiao nodded again, and the nurse walked out quickly.
She was left alone in the spacious ward. But not so long, when someone entered her room.
She thought it was the doctor but she was stunned when found out that person was Li Da Zhan.
He gasped and froze at the door as much as she also bewildered by his presence here.
"You finally wake up."
Chen Rou Jiao awkwardly nodded. "Mn."
She was afraid to look straight into his eyes right now, but when she did, she saw a familiar smile from Li Da Zhan. The same smile she saw when she opened her eyes for the first time a while ago.
Li Da Zhan chuckled. He walked quickly towards the bed, with his hands full with warm food. "Great then. I was worried about you."
Chen Rou Jiao frowned. She thought she heard wrong and she wanted to confirm it. "Hmm?"
Li Da Zhan startled with his own words. He froze in front of Chen Rou Jiao. He eyes moved her and there, but never looked straight to Chen Rou Jiao.
"I mean,.. we all worried about you." he grinned like a fool. Hoping Chen Rou Jiao did not misunderstood him.
"Oh."
"...."
The doctor and the nurse from earlier enter the ward. Gave Li Da Zhan an excuse to not became in awkward situation with Chen Rou Jiao.
While the doctor checking her condition, Li Da Zhan took a seat at the sofa, facing the bed. He peeled off the apple and pear before cutted it to small part and place it on the clean plate on the coffee table.
In the meantime, he called Xie Rong about Chen Rou Jiao's condition.
"Okay. I will be there with CEO Zhang."
