Getting back on the bed, Liling excused herself and stepped outside.
Getting her phone, she called Jin Liwei. "FeiFei just woke up," she said the moment he picked up. "That's great. How is she?" he asked. "She looks okay. She will be fine." "And her mother? How is she reacting right now?" he asked. "Normally. I think she decided to wait until she is completely fine." "Okay. Have they informed her about the... baby?" "Not yet," she replied.
"Okay. Please let me know in case anything happens," he said.
After hanging up, Jin Liwei got a call from Wang Mel and picked up immediately.
"Sir the cookies had Ricin in them," he delivered.
"Alright. That will be all for today."
As Li Fei was slowly eating her meals, Li Jiang received a call from Jin Liwei. Leaving the room, he answered," Yes." "Who served her the cookies?" he asked. "I... don't know. What happened?" "They were poisoned. They had Ricin in them." "What?! You mean it was done home?" he couldn't believe it.
"Exactly." "I will ask her right now," he said walking back to the ward. "Tell me what you get there," he said before hanging up.
Reaching, he said," Li Fei, tell me. Who served you the cookies?" "It was a maid. Her name is... Zhan. Why?" He looked at them before saying," I got someone to search and it was discovered that it were the cookies that were poisoned."
They were all dumbstruck. Li Fei remembered that she started feeling dizzy and nauseas after drinking the juice and eating the cookies. She then said," She served me juice too. But why could she do such a thing to me?" "It's what I'm yet to find out," said Jiang. "She's going to answer to me! I will call the police right now!" said Li Mei before getting her phone. "Wait mother. Let me first call home."
Calling the Butler, he ordered him to make sure that all the maids were home but he informed him that one maid had gone missing since yesterday night. Asking for the name, it was the same person they wanted. "Why didn't you inform me about it?" asked Jiang frustrated. "I'm sorry but I thought that Mr Li Fei's condition was more important right now," he said.
"I will come over right now! Don't let anyone else leave the house," he instructed before hanging up. "What happened?" asked Li Mei. "She is not at the house since yesterday night. She must have escaped." "What?! In that case then, Li Fei is not safe here. We have to hire security because she might come back." "I agree with you," said Liling. "I will send security over here. Let me head home first," he said and left.
Li Mei unable to take in the information went to the bed and sat down. Not long after, she was taken by sleep.
Li Fei on seeing this turned to Liling and asked," Does Jin Liwei know that I'm here?"
"Of course. He's been calling and asking how you are. He was so worried about you."
"Can you call him and I talk to him?" she said and Liling turned to glance at her mother who was sleeping. She wondered if she should tell her that two had confronted each other but she decided to leave it.
Getting her phone, she called him.
Frustration filled him when Jiang gave him the news that the maid had ran away. He wanted to make her pay, but she was delaying it by hiding. Just then, he got a call and on checking, it was Liling. He picked up," Is everything alright?" he asked. It took a while before he heard," It's me." Hearing that soothing voice was enough to lighten up his mood.
"FeiFei," he called knowing how she likes it and a smile came to settle on her lips.
"How are you feeling?" he asked his voice soft on her ears. "I'm missing you," she said.
"I miss you more. I was asking about your sickness though," he said chuckling. "I'm feeling better especially after talking to you," she replied. He took a while to say," I will hunt her and make her pay. I promise." "I know," she said before adding," Although I want to first ask her if I ever did anything to her. You never know, it might be my fault."
"I don't care if you did anything. You are my woman and you can do as you please to anyone. But of course, except me. You are supposed to only love and cherish me," he said making her giggle lightly. "You are spoiling me too much Mr Jin Liwei." "Isn't it my duty to spoil you?" he asked. "I want to see you. Will you come over at the hospital?" she asked. "I would love to but your mother is there." "You can come up with a way. I know you can," she said. "Okay. I will think of a way," he assured her.
Reaching the house, Li Jiang summoned all the workers in the parlour and they did a thorough check up in their belongings looking for any trace of poison but got none.
He received a call from the guards he had sent to check the girl's family. "Sir, they said that they haven't seen her at all." He took a while to say," Pretend to have left but remain observing them carefully. She won't hide forever if she's there." Leaving the house, he went to the police station to report everything that had happened.
The next day around noon, Li Fei was woken up told that she had a visitor and on seeing, it was Xinyi who had arrived with Li Jiang. She sat on the bed and said," I'm happy to see you." Smiling, she said," I'm happy to see you too. I'm so sorry about what happened." "It's okay. I'm fine now." She placed the flowers she had brought for her at the table and Li Fei thanked her and later, she came to sit next to her.
"Jiang has told me a lot about you and I've been dying to meet you," said Xinyi unaware that Li Fei had already seen her at a hotel. "He has told me a lot about you too. It's so unfortunate that we met under such circumstances," she replied.
