The clock was already hitting midnight when the car reached a huge gated property which lined a long mile upto the big sprawling mansion.
The car drove the long mile to the humongous mansion and stopped in front of the double doors of the entrance to the manor.
Wu Tian was still out like light on Wei Jianglin's shoulder, still tightly clutching his shirt in her hands. She hasn't loosened her hold on him once the whole drive.
When the housekeeper, came scurrying out of the mansion and tried to disentangle the girl but couldn't make the girl loose her hold on him, atleast not forcefully. But Wu Tian refused to leave Wei Jianglin's shirt, so helplessly the man dismissed her and took the girl upstairs himself, to his room, where he layed her in the middle of the bed while asking the maid to get Zhi Jiang here immediately.
The resident doctor, Zhi Jiang residing in the mansion itself for any emergency was called to look upon the girl.
"I would need to run a few tests on her. She might have broken a bone or two." Zhi Jiang said after looking at her.
The doctor dismissed everyone out except for the maid. The maid was asked to stay back to look after the needs of the girl.
Wei Jianglin was reluctantly asked to leave as well.
After throwing a threatning glare at the doctor, he walked out of his own bedroom door.
...
"There are few small bruises and cuts present throughout her body. I have already cleaned them up but there were signs of struggle as well. Her left hand has a fracture in the finger while her right is badly bruised." The doctor explained his examination after done checking up Wu Tian.
A chill took place around them as Zhi Jiang's voice floated in the hallway, as Wei Jianglin tried to gauge the meaning behind the words Zhi Jiang insinuated.
"Did she...." he gritted his teeth before asking "Was she hurt?"
"No, there are only signs of struggle not of it actually happening. But to be safe, I have send the reports to the lab. They will be available by tomorrow afternoon."
"Is she going to be okay then?" Wei Jianglin asked.
"Yes, with proper care she'll be good to go." Zhi Jiang explained.
Wei Jianglin dismissed the doctor who nodded at him and took only a few steps, before saying, "Also, she is a little malnourished, she needs to see a nutritionist.Though it can wait until she wakes up."
"Then call one tomorrow."
The doctor nodded before taking his leave.
.....
Wei Jianglin stood beside the bed for sometime looking at the small figure of the girl lying in the middle of the bed, his bed, as this was the only bedroom that could be fully equipped in the house on such a short notice.
He finally took in the small heart shaped face of the girl lying on his bed.
Her figure so small in the big king size bed that she was barely there. He remembered her breakdown earlier, it was heart renching to say the least.
The small face, now cleaned and the girl freshly showered and changed by the maids lay there, looking vulnerable in a way that made his cold heart feel suffocated.
He took in her paleness and he felt his heart churning in anger before he was able to calm in himself.
Wei Jianglin was the man who was called a devil in the literal sense because he had never felt the fear of anything.
He had done things, not right in anyway and prided himself on being immune to any emotions.
But seeing her cry the way she did earlier twisted something inside of him. It was unbearable for him to watch her breakdown.
And because of these emotions, he realised the dangerous territory he is walking on.
He didn't move any further just quietly observed her, looking down at her from his position at her bedside, for sometime.
He took a few steps back and thought how bad this decision is to bring her here instead of going directly to the hospital.
He didn't know anything about her and it was insanity which led him to bringing her here when he should have ignored her and left her there only.
He was never the one who soften, not until now...
So he took a few steps back, before quietly leaving the room, obsessing over the slight details of their encounter.
Wei Jianglin's POV:
I softly closed the door of the room before I made my way to the study. I have asked Su han to run a background check on the girl while I waited in my study and tried to work but my mind kept wandering back to the unconscious girl currently lying on my bed. I have never felt this distracted in my whole life.
For reasons I can't think my mind kept replaying the flickering of those beautiful pair of eyes whose color I was not able to see due to the absence of proper light.
My mind has been replaying the scene in front of my eyes again and again and my thoughts flickered with the guesses of what her eye color could really be.
The insanity has got me feeling irritated and so I took a cigar out and went to the attached balcony, overlooking the gardens.
Also, I think I might have seen this girl somewhere. She looked familiar. And I don't know why I can't seem to stop thinking about her.
Even though only for a second I have felt my breathing stop and my soul left my body the moment I met those pair of eyes.
And with this incident a girl from nowhere came along and took my mind with her.
The best course would be to avoid her until I get my sanity back.
In the morning, I called ming zhi, the housekeeper back and instructed her to ask the girl to leave as soon as she can, for my sanity.
I didn't realise I have been awake the whole night and thinking about the girl lying on my bed all this time.
I might as well have gone crazy for having thoughts like these exist.
She nodded a little reluctantly and went back.
I don't regret making this decision because I know I did the right thing because her being near me was agony enough and I don't trust myself to not to do anything which I might regret later.
It already felt like torture the whole time I had been thinking about her while she was near me...
Or maybe it was her near me and not able to touch her felt like hell.
In all my thirty two years of existence I have never felt the way I am feeling now.
Anxious and helpless, with a deep seated anger which is running hot in my veins.
For whatever reason it did happen and I'd rather cut off the problem then let it fester later into a bigger one.
