Chapter 110 - I’ll Marry Her
Mu Shen and Gu Min also paused as the latter wondered why his elder brother would call at this time.
"Master…That...Madam…"
"What happened to Mom?" Jun Zixuan\'s grip on the phone tightened.
"Her condition is very unstable. She keeps on refusing to go to the hospital but…I came here to see if she is doing alright but I got to know that she hasn\'t been taking her medications for weeks. Madam!!" Jun Zixuan could hear some rustling sound in the background, \'\'Master, she has been coughing up blood…"
"Pass her the phone," His voice grew softer.
"Okay…Madam, Master wants to talk to you.."
"Ah Xuan," Shen Lihua\'s hoarse voice sounded over the phone.
"Go to the hospital, Mom."
"I don\'t.."
"I\'ll marry whoever you want me to," His voice came out as a whisper as his grip on the rose loosened causing it to fall on the ground.
He hung up the call before walking towards the car.
Gu Min immediately ran after him.
"Xuan…What if she asks about you?" Mu Shen asked looking at the man\'s retreating back.
The man paused, \'\'Tell her I left," He softly said and got inside the car without looking back.
\'\'What if you regret this…?" Mu Shen mumbled, standing rooted to his spot as he watched the Sedan disappearing from his view.
*End of the flashback*
\'\'This and this…" Shi Luo showed the girl the prescription, pointing at the top 2 names on the top, "You must continue these medications for 3 months. Apply it on your scars twice a day alternatively…"
\'\'Luoluo," Yu Mei pushed open the door to her office only to realize there was a patient inside. "I\'ll wait outside…"
Shi Luo shook her head and pointed her chin towards the couch, "Just take a seat here…"
Yu Mei paused for a moment before walking towards the couch.
Shi Luo stood up and glanced at the teenage girl in front of her, "Do you remember the instructions well?"
\'\'I do," The girl stood up and took the prescription from her hand, "Thank you, Dr. Shi. You are so sweet."
"Less than you," Shi Luo smiled like a \'kind elder sister\' as she watched the girl leave.
"That\'s enough. You look like someone pointed a gun at your head asking you to smile," Yu Mei laughed.
Shi Luo stopped smiling and massaged her cheeks before walking towards her.
She paused all of a sudden when her gaze landed on the woman\'s face, "You…What happened? How could you.."
It has been a few days since they last met so the little changes on Yu Mei\'s face did not go unnoticed by her.
"It just happened. My face is going to the way it used to be," As much as she wanted to discuss the matter regarding Mia with Shi Luo but Mia was strongly against it and on the other hand knowing that her friend will be dead worried if she came to know about all these things, Yu Mei decided to keep mum about it.
"You look so cute," Shi Luo pinched her cheeks, "And you have slimmed up a bit. Darling, I can\'t wait for you to regain your golden figure and that stunning face. Ah...I\'m so excited."
Yu Mei chuckled, "Why do you have dark circles?" She asked looking at Shi Luo\'s exhausted face.
"Well, didn\'t I say I\'ll be move over to Beijing?"
Yu Mei nodded, "I remember. What about that?"
"I\'ll have to go to Amaranthine for some procedures and paperwork so I\'m working overtime here to make up for the next week since I\'ll be not available," Shi Luo said, adjusting her round glasses. While speaking, she noticed her bag, \'\'You went to the university?\'\'
"Yes, I came back after the classes were over.\'\'
Shi Luo laughed, "Who would\'ve thought you would be graduating twice?"
\'\'Don\'t tease me.."
"Fine fine."
Yu Mei\'s phone went off. She glanced at the caller ID and answered the call, "Hey…Well, I\'m at the hospital…No. Nothing\'s wrong with me. I came here to meet Shi Luo…Why are you asking? Oh...Okay."
After hanging up the call, she glanced at Shi Luo who was looking at her with a weird gaze. "What is it?"
"Was it your husband?"
Yu Mei nodded.
Shi Luo covered her mouth with the back of her hand, \'\'You don\'t have complaints about being called his wife now. You guys must have made some progress.."
"Stop talking nonsense and exaggerating things," Yu Mei waved her hand.
Since she had morning classes today, she had to leave for university early today but to her surprise, Jun Zixuan had yet to wake up at 8 am. Since they have slept a few times together in the past, she knew that he usually woke up before 7 am.
While Steward Gu offered to drop her but she rejected it.
Since she had a car and she could drive, she found it unnecessary to bother someone about such trivial things.
After finishing the classes, she decided to come to meet Shi Luo.
"Why did he call you?"
Under her friend\'s doubtful gaze, Yu Mei shook her head, "He was just asking about my whereabouts and whether I am fine. What\'s there to be so suspicious about?"
While they talked about random things, they lost track of time.
But soon, Shi Luo felt something was amiss, "Mei, what\'s bothering you?" She asked.
Yu Mei raised an eyebrow while her index finger kept tapping her wrist.
"You do that when you are tensed about something," Shi Luo paused for a moment before adding, "Are you missing your brother?"
Yu Mei stood up from the couch and walked towards the large window inside Shi Luo\'s office room.
She leaned against the glass and lowered her head.
Shi Luo walked towards her, "Mei, we will get some clues about him soon. He is a public figure. Matters regarding the President of Amaranthine will make it to headlines one day or other. And everything will go back to normal after you divorce Zixuan…" She paused noticing the slight shift in Yu Mei\'s expression, "Are you reluctant to let go of him? What are you going to do when Jian Yu comes back?"
Right at the moment, Shi Luo wanted to know what was going on in her mind so that she could help her.
Looking at her expressions, she could say that Yu Mei was bothered about something? But about what? She could just try to guess.
...
\'\'Master, here we are," Steward Gu parked the car and opened the door for Jun Zixuan, "I have texted you Miss Shi\'s office room directions."
Jun Zixuan nodded at him before walking inside the hospital.
Steward Gu couldn\'t help but smile as he glanced at his Master\'s retreating back.
It looks like he could not stop caring and worrying about his wife at all.
Jun Zixuan glanced at the office room number on his phone before walking towards the last room in the hallway.
The door of the office was slightly ajar. He checked the nameplate on the door of the room before raising his hand to knock…
\'\'Don\'t compare Jian Yu to anyone else…\'\'
Jun Zixuan paused, hearing the familiar voice.
