[In the laboratory]
It was almost dawn, and the sun as usual was on its way to rise and make the day bright, but to those who are buried alive in their pain and grief, no light can brighten them.
Working on his project Michael suddenly held the table beside him as he felt heaviness in his head, and the jar filled with a pale green solution slipped from his hand with a "smash" The jar crashed as it touched the ground, emitting a pungent gas the liquid was all over the floor.
The blurriness in his eyes made him unstable to walk further, holding his head he screamed, the bulging veins on his neck were visible, shaking his head he tried to clear the blurry picture in front of him, wandering his curious eyes he scanned his entire lab nothing seemed to be weird except those specimens, which made him think if it were his lab.
Supporting himself he stood up, dragging his feet Michael reached the table, and what he saw next terrified him to the core, the only question he had at the moment was, What were these human organs doing in his lab? Shifting his gaze to the right he saw the dissection set lying around the table beside it was a hand covered with wrinkles, and around it were ampules of various color chemicals, as he forwarded his hand to analyze the ampules he noticed his hands were gloved, staring at the gloves he once again scanned the entire lab to find no one else but him, his face displayed terror as he seemed to have realized something, the illegal human experiment that he just witnessed was being conducted by none other than Michael.
Confusion crept into his brain, What was he even doing with all those terrifying things around him? Making his way toward the exit he hurried his steps to figure out what exactly was going on, unlocking the door he walked ahead to encounter familiar surroundings, yes! This was his apartment, consumed by panic he grabs his phone to call the cops, But wait, was that the right thing to do? What would he say to them? Who brought those organs and how? And what was he doing with all those chemicals in his lab? Micahel had no answer to their questions….
He aggressively walks back to the lab to dispose of all those things, grabbing the disposable bags he started gathering all the chemicals, the next moment halting his moments Michael began to remove all those chemicals from the trash bag and started working as if nothing happened, arranging back all the ampules Michael started dissecting the hand, he immersed into his world and didn't even bother about his actions.
Later that afternoon Feifei sat over the edge of her terrace thinking how Michael would've consoled her whenever her family talked shit about her, but this time Feifei was all by herself, thinking about her love and Michael's care towards her silent tears slowly began rolling down her cheeks,
"Feifei, where are you?" Grandpa Han was furiously stomping his feet while climbing the stairs and reaching the door, he knocked aggressively, and Feifei hurried and opened the door, looking at her swollen eyes and gloomy face, his anger vanished into thin air, and his aggressiveness changed into concern, wiping her tears Feifei smiled widely at her Grandfather.
" Feifei, who are you trying to make a fool, ah?" I have known you since you were this small" Spreading his arms he made a gesture of holding an infant. Taking a step forward Grandpa Han pats her head as he walks to the chair nearby,
"Aya, Lao ye is getting older, Feifei you look at you, my granddaughter! Grew up to be such a beautiful fairy, haha!"
In response, Feifei curved her lips into a light smile, "Baobei Come here" making her sit beside he continued, " Feifei Dui bu qi ah, yeye Dui bu qi, [grandpa is very sorry} that I couldn't take care of you properly, this old man is very bad heavens will surely punish him" tears started trickling down his face, holding both her hands he apologized humbly.
"Yeye, I don't blame you for things that happened, you weren't aware of it, so it's fine" She presses his hand in assurance,
"No, this isn't right! From now on Grandpa will make sure to not let anyone hurt you, not even that silly brat, Michael" Hao ba?" Grandpa said as though he was addressing an important topic of state or country.
Laughing at his actions Feifei nodded in agreement and hugs her yeye.
Making sure that she isn't crying anymore Grandpa stood up and walks out of her room while closing the door he paused "I came here to scold you for coming alone from the hospital, Haiya… he sighs "Feifei, I know you are used to doing things on your own, but now you have a Grandfather who cares about you, so rely on your Yeye," saying that he closed the door and walked downstairs with a ray of guilt in his eyes.
Feifei's eyes lit up with happiness, after talking with her Yeye, feeling a sense of assurance she grabbed her phone and dialed Michael's number her heart was pounding with every ring, unsure of Michael's response and his behavior, after all that Michael put her through she still anticipated his love and care towards her.
"Krrr, krrr ….." After two rings a masculine and charming voice answered the call,
"Hello? He questioned without even looking at the display he just received the call to avoid the ringing disturbing his work,
Crossing her finger Feifei hoped for him to be polite and loving as he was,
"It's me" she replied
"Who me?" his voice has no excitement that she felt when he use to talk with her
"Xiao Lei, stop behaving this way, it's me Feifei".
"Oh? Feifei, hmm… you need anything?" his question made her heartbroken, a few days ago he used to find some silly reasons to talk with her, but now he is avoiding her at all costs?
How did things turn out to be so heartbreaking?
