"Why?" she couldn't help but ask. "Why? You don't want me to see you? Who do you wish to see you then? Yan Jianyu, your fiancee? Huh?" he asked irritated. "And so what if I want him to see me? At least he's more of a man than you are," she said before pulling her gown and she wore it then tied the straps tightly.
"More of a man than I? You slept with him?!!" he asked and grabbed her wrist. She felt him squeezing her hand and she winced in pain. "Let go of me! You're hurting me," she screamed. "You slept with him, yes or no?!" he asked again with a murderous voice and she quickly said," No, I didn't." It was then that he released her arm and she rubbed her wrist with her other hand before muttering," You're a beast." He chuckled before saying, "And you're beauty." The glare in her eyes intensified.
"Congratulations upon your engagement," he said sarcastically. "Thank you. When are you having yours?" she asked back with the same sarcasm. "Soon," he replied and she narrowed her eyes at him. Unable to take it she shouted," You should then be spending your time with your fiancee to be, not with me." "Of course I'm leaving but tell me first. Those photos, did you finally decide to take the engagement seriously?"
" I don't owe you any explanation," she stated. "You're right, after all it's not me your parents approve of, isn't it?" Li Fei felt something tug at her heart. She wanted to tell him that she didn't care but she decided to hold herself back. When she didn't reply, he said," I think I should take my leave."
She wanted to ask him not to go but she couldn't. After all, he hadn't denied the fact that something was going on between him and that woman.
As he was moving, he heard," Jin Liwei." He halted in his steps and he turned expectantly to look at her when she said," I would like you to give me the address of the hospital where Caihong is being treated."
His eyes narrowed both in disappointment and annoyance and he asked," What do you want it for?"
"To visit him of course," she replied. He took a while to say," It's not a good place for you."
"I'm not a kid and perhaps, you're not in position to worry about me," she stated. His lips set themselves into a thin line and he asked, "When do you want to go?"
"Tomorrow why?" she asked.
"The chauffeur will come fetch you tomorrow," he said. "Just give me the address. I will take myself there." "If you really want to see him, he will be taking you. Because I won't be giving you the address." "Okay I will be waiting," she finally agreed and he turned to leave. She stared at him and watched his retreating figure until she could no longer see him. She regretted why she hadn't asked him to stay but she decided to leave it and walked back to the house.
That evening, the three had dinner together and it was the first time Jing Yue was seeing Li Fei ever since she came. He apologized for not being able to meet her but she clearly understood that he was a busy man.
The next day as agreed, the chauffeur came early in the morning and Li Fei sat at the back.
She looked outside the window and she saw that it was raining heavily. Luckily for her, she had bought the gifts for the patient yesterday. She curled her body and watched as they passed the landscape. Half an hour later, she felt that the car halted and after parking, she looked at the building. It was a large facility and after leaving the car, she started walking in.
Noticing the chauffeur follow her, she said," You don't have to come. Wait here." "I was ordered to keep an eye on you," he said attempting to get the bags from her so that he could carry them. "You don't have to. I will be fine," she said and continued moving but he came following after her and she turned to look at him. Giving her an apologetic look, he said," Please Ma'am. I can't defy the Boss's orders. I don't want to lose my job." She finally agreed and he got the bags then the two moved in together.
After presenting her identification, she gave the patient's name and they were led to the waiting room. Not long after, he was brought and made to sit at the opposite side of the table. "Caihong?" she called clearly examining him. He was in a blue uniform and she realized that he had lost a lot of weight and his cheeks had turned hollow.
Wasn't he treated right? she wondered. "What a surprise, Li Fei," he said much to her surprise. It meant he did recognize her right? "Can you hear me? You do recognize me?" she asked.
"Of course," he said before asking," Why are you here?" "To visit you. How are you doing Caihong? How is life here?" "More like a prisoner," he replied. "I'm sorry. Does your family ever visit you?" she asked. "Yes. They often come but they leave me here. I'm not crazy but no one listens to me," he said gritting his teeth. "This is the right place where you will get proper help Caihong," she said.
He looked at her for long then said," You look beautiful as always. Say, are you still with that man, Jin Liwei?" Pursing her lips, she decided to avoid his question and instead said," You didn't tell me that you had a problem." "It's because I wanted to let go of the past and start a new life with you but you let me down. Had you accepted me, all this wouldn't have happened."
She took a while to say," Listen Caihong. Things might have happened between us but I want to let you know that I don't hate you. On the contrary, I feel sorry for you. I will never forget that you helped me when I needed help the most. And whenever you're okay, I will be willing to welcome you as a friend." After chatting with him for sometime, she gave him the gifts she had bought for him but he rejected them. The nurses took them and assured her that he will accept them.
