Zhan got to his grandma's place who pretended to fall sick... he hugged her, cooked for her, and made her drink her medicine... he calls Haikuan every hour.
Nicole and Jack started having nightmares where Jack would see Nicole with another guy, or Nicole would see Jack with another woman... and it drifted them apart.
Cheng woke up late, saw Zhan's text and took the file. He had his bath, ate breakfast and headed to where Nicole would be.
He sat on a coffee table close to where Nicole is. He made an imaginary call and talked about his multi-million dollar investment and a factory he just bought.
He ended his imaginary call and Zhan's call came in.
"Where are you? Zhan asked "
I am at the coffee shop for breakfast. Once I am done here I'll go to the factory, I have a meeting with my lawyer and the architect.
Zhan played along with the game, they talked for a while and he ended the call...
Upon hearing his conversation, Nicole got interested in him.
Let me milk this one too, he looks dull. I am sure I can play with his head, she smirked.
Hi, I am Nicole Voris, a ballet dancer. Is it okay if I sit with you? I have been waiting for my dance partner. I doubt if he's still coming. She smiled.
Oh, yes please make yourself comfortable. Cheng said.
They talked for a while before Cheng changed the subject. I'm sorry I am running late, I have a meeting with my lawyer and I need to see my new factory but we can have dinner later.
Sure, no problem. Can I have your number? She beamed.
Sure. Cheng smiled. They exchanged numbers and he left.
Haikuan's pov.
Zhan, Yibo's movements have improved a lot, I believe he'll wake up soon... we are all anxious and excited, and mum and dad are here too. Don't worry you'll be the first person I will call when he wakes up. How is your grandma? I asked.
She's fine, she's not sick. I think she just missed me. I'll be with you tomorrow morning. He said.
My regards to your mom and dad. But please call me when he wakes up. He begged.

Cheng was in the sitting room with Mr. Xiao when his phone rang, it was from Zhan.
Hello buddy, how are you and how is grandma?
She's fine, he replied.
They spoke for a while and Zhan begged him to go and see Yibo for him.
"Okay, I will see him briefly because I have dinner with Nicole"
Thanks, buddy, I will text you Haikuan's number. Please call to inform him you're coming over and he ended the call.
Cheng excused himself and went to change, then told Mr. Xiao he was going out. He nodded in acknowledgment.
It took Cheng 20 minutes to get to the hospital. He saw Yibo's family all sitting and waiting patiently. He greeted them and Haikuan offered him a seat next to him, they chatted for a while and got to know each other.
Nicole and Jack are still not on talking terms as both of them are scared of each other, and they scheming against themselves.
Cheng stayed for 2 hours before a text from Nicole came in.
Are we still up for dinner?
Yes, text me your address. I'll pick you up. He replied.
He stood up and was about to leave when Yibo opened his eyes and pulled his brother's hand.
Omg, everyone screamed and the doctors and nurses rushed in immediately. They thought something had happened, but Yibo was wide awake and made a gesture for them to remove his oxygen mask.
They carefully removed it and his breathing was normal.
"Where is Zhan?" he asked huskily. Before he hugged his mum, dad, and Haikuan.
Where's Zhan? He asked again.
He went to see his grandma but he'll be here first thing tomorrow morning. Cheng said.
Hi, I am Cheng, Zhan asked me to check on you, but I have a date. Oh, talk of the devil and she calls. "Hello Nicole, I will be with you shortly. He said.
Yibo's face lost expression when he mentioned Nicole.
Nicole, I hope it's not the same Nicole Zhan asked me to stalk. What are you thinking in your little skull Zhan? Cheng thought.
I will take my leave now. He bowed and left.
Haikuan immediately called Zhan.
He is awake, Zhan. Haikuan said when Zhan picked up his call.
Zhan's screams were deafening, Haikuan removed the phone from his ear and chuckled, then put it back... hold on let me give him the phone.
Hello, Zhan could hear Yibo's deep voice.
Hey, butterfly, Zhan said and Yibo blushed.
Your voice is euphonious. Zhan giggled
Thanks. Yibo replied.
They talked and he promised to see him first thing in the morning.
Zhan's POV
When I heard his voice I trembled. It sounded so deep and soft at the same time...his voice is so soothing. "So sexy." "He speaks so confidently and convincingly."
Finally, my dream man is awake and he remembers me... I can't wait to see him tomorrow.
Yibo's pov
When I heard his voice, my breath hitched for a few seconds, it sounded smokey "sexually attractive in a slightly mysterious way'' the undertone of his voice made my skin twitch''
Thank you for helping me wake up, I can't wait to see you love.
I overheard the Doctor telling them not to ask me anything about my accident until I told them myself, which gave me peace of mind. Nicole, welcome to your nightmare, even if you hide in a rabbit hole I'll drag you out by your hair.
Haikuan ge, please block my credit card.
Okay, Yibo, he replied.
Can I take a walk outside? I miss the sun.
Not today, Yibo. We need to check on you today. The doctor said.

Cheng's dinner with Nicole went well. They chatted for a while and all Nicole was interested in is what he does for a living and Cheng played along pretending to be the CEO of his dad's company.
After dinner, he dropped her at home and also went home.
"When he got home he met Mr. Xiao in the dining area, deep in thought. He greeted him twice before he raised his head''
Oh, sorry Cheng, welcome back. My mind has traveled far.
Cheng was worried for him and he asked him what the problem was.
Mr Xiao took a deep breath and sigh. Has Yibo woken up? He asked with a sad smile, yes he has, Cheng replied.
"I'm afraid the past is about to repeat itself. I am scared Cheng, I had a terrifying experience with his mother"
Cheng got impatient, can you explain properly so I'll understand you, sir?
Yibo can't remember Zhan, he will get obsessed and possessive with him once they set eyes on each other. Someone got obsessed with his mother in her dreams. He haunted her and killed her.
What? Cheng screamed.
Yeah, he said "If I can't have her no one will"
We have to make Yibo forget Zhan. Will you help me? Mr. Xiao asked
Cheng was flabbergasted he didn't know what to say. But are you sure the same thing will happen to Zhan?
Yes it will, his grandma is not sick, I sent him there on purpose so he won't see Yibo when he wakes up, she made a potion to unbind the blood bond they did but I don't know how to make him drink it. Mr. Xiao said
Wow, why didn't you just explain things to him before? Cheng asked
I didn't know he'd fall in love with him. Mr. Xiao replied.
Do you know Nicole is Wang Yibo's girlfriend? Mr. Xiao asked sharply.
What? No...no, I don't. Cheng said
I don't know what he planned to do with that poor lady because he is in love with her boyfriend. Mr. Xiao said.
Let us sleep on it Mr. Xiao we will come up with something in the morning. Cheng said and walked to his room.
