Jin Liwei called Wang Mel to the house who arrived shortly. "I want you to go to the Li mansion and ask the Butler to take you to Li Fei's bedroom. I want you to bring whatever edible you find and if you get none, ask where they placed them." When he left, Jin Liwei called Li Jiang and asked the condition Li Fei was in. When he was told that she was still unconscious, he asked him to call their Butler such that he permits Wang Mel to go to Li Fei's room.
Going to the mansion, Wang Mel was told that he was expected, and therefore led to the room.
On looking around, the first thing his eyes caught sight of was a plate of cookies on the table and an empty glass next to it. He walked to where they were and carefully packed the cookies before looking around for anything else. Walking around the room, he saw nothing else and left. Reaching the car, he called his boss to inform him of what he had found.
"Take them to the laboratory and have them checked if they have any toxic substance in them," he instructed.
Liling reached the hospital and was directed to the ward where Li Fei was.
Slowly pushing the door, she caught sight of her mother, brother and later Jianyu who were in the room.
"Good morning," she greeted and they all looked at her. "Oh? Liling, it's so good to see you," Li Mei said getting up. "I'm happy to see you too even though not in the best circumstances. How is she?" she asked looking at the sleeping Li Fei. "She will be fine. The doctors said that they are giving her antidotes and activated charcoal. She will be waking up at any minute," explained Jiang and she nodded taking a seat next to the patient.
"How did you find out that FeiFei is here?" asked Li Mei. "FeiFei and I had agreed that I was to come yesterday to Beijing but I didn't make it. So when I reached today morning, I went to the mansion and I was directed here. What happened to her?" she asked feigning ignorance. "Ohh, we are so sorry you found us in the hospital. Li Fei was poisoned," said Li Mei.
"That is so cruel. Who could have done it?"
"We don't know yet. We wanted to first make sure that she's okay before we look into that," she said and Liling nodded looking at her friend. She was wondering why Li Mei wasn't reacting yet Jin Liwei said that she had discovered their affair.
A while later, Li Mei excused herself to the bathroom while Jianyu left to the cafeteria leaving the two in the room. "Don't mention about Jin Liwei especially if mother is around. She found out that he was the baby's father and she fainted," he said. "Oh? But why isn't she reacting as expected?" she couldn't help but ask. "She still thinks that he might have been forcing and threatening her. She also wants to first take care of her health," he explained. " I understand." "And another thing, don't mention about the miscarriage in Li Fei's presence. We don't want her to know yet," he said. "Okay. I will be very careful."
On coming back, Li Mei said," How is your husband Liling?" "He's fine Ms Li Mei. Thanks for asking," she said with a polite smile.
The next moment, Jianyu came back with coffee for everyone and they thanked him.
It was coming to nine in the morning when the four were chitchatting but keeping their voices low such that they don't disturb the patient. Liling who was entwining her fingers with Li Fei's felt a sudden movement in her fingers and she exclaimed," I think she's waking up!" They all stood up and went to the bed then saw that her eyes lids were indeed fluttering. "FeiFei," her mother called her softly. Her eyes opened slowly and she groaned as if in pain. "Are you hurting anywhere FeiFei?" Liling asked. Fully opening her eyes, she saw the four people looking at her and her eyes ran around the whole place.
Hospital? What was she doing in the hospital?
She returned her eyes and when she tried to open her mouth, her throat made a hoarse sound. Li Mei brought a glass of water immediately and they raised the bed a little such that she could drink. Taking a number of gulps, she stopped drinking and she cleared her throat. "Why I'm I in the hospital?" she asked her voice sounded weak.
"Ah, you were not feeling well and we brought you here. I will go call the doctor," Li Jiang said before leaving the place.
"Liling, how and when did you come?" Li Fei asked. "Ain't you happy to see me? Is that how you greet your best friend?" she asked.
"Of course I'm very happy. I'm just surprised you came to see me," she said. "You shouldn't worry about anything dear. We are all here because we love you," Li Mei told her.
When the doctor came, he checked her eyes and opened her mouth to take a closer look. After the various check ups, "The antidote is working perfectly and the poison has subsided. Let's wait for sometime and see what will happen," he said and they all nodded. He continued to say, "For the meantime, she will feed on what we recommend her."
They saw her eyes brows knitting together as though she was in pain and her mother asked," What happened Li Fei?"
"I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Like cramps," she said and they looked at the doctor. "That should happen due to the miscarriage but we gave her some painkillers," he said before excusing himself out of the room.
"Miscarriage? What did he mean by that?" she asked and they all looked at each other. "Nothing serious. Uhm... FeiFei, you were poisoned. Can you tell us the last thing you ate?" Li Mei decided to say so as to distract her. "Poisoned?! H-how?!" she asked not able to believe it. "I found you laying in the bathroom and when you woke up, you puked and lost consciousness. Can you tell us what happened or what you ate?" asked Li Jiang.
Li Fei tried remembering but she couldn't come up with anything. She ate a lot of things during the day and she couldn't tell which one was poisoned. "I don't know," was all she said.
"It's alright. Are you hungry?" Li Mei asked and she shook her head. "I just want to use the bathroom," she said and Liling helped her get off the bed and escorted her to the bathroom.
