In the dimly lighted corridor of the hospital, a thin figure walked towards a room while pushing forward a wheelchair.
The clothes of the hospital staff on the body of this figure never made anyone doubt that this person didn't even belong to the hospital staff.
The person was none other than Tian Yuan.
The mask covered Tian Yuan's face completely making anyone completely unable to recognize him or that was what he thought.
Standing in front of the VIP room where his mother stayed, he looked behind once to check if anyone was there and sighed in relief when he saw no one.
Perhaps it was his illusion or fear of being caught he could feel a pair of eyes following his every move. Biting his lip nervously under the mask, he finally opened the door and then pushed the wheelchair inside the room that he had brought with him.
Once inside the room, Tian Yuan locked the door.
However, when he moved towards the bed, he suddenly didn't know what he should do. That day, the doctor had told him that after the operation his mother needed less medical equipment attached to her body than before. The doctor had even told him that what all was very important to keep his mother alive.
However, now his hands were trembling to remove those unnecessary things because he was afraid that he would make some mistake.
At the time when he had received the call, he had thought that he would be able to do this but now he suddenly found it very difficult. However, he had already promised to leave.
If he didn't then …he would lose his mother just like he lost his father.
A tear escaped his eye as Tian Yuan remembered how his mother had just moved her finger a week ago.
It was a very small movement and the doctor even said to him that it can be true or it can be his illusion also. However, he was sure that it had happened.
Tian Yuan didn't want to lose his mother …not at this point where he finally had some hope that she could really wake up.
But he was too helpless.
Either way, he was too afraid. For the umpteenth time, he felt that his life would have been much better if he had not met Liu Ji Fan.
The man who made him realize what exactly love is …he was also the man who became the reason for all his pains.
He was not at fault but he still couldn't help but blame him and more himself.
"Are you wondering what all you can remove or whatnot?"
The deep and familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room and Tian Yuan froze completely.
He almost flinched when the light was switched on suddenly and the dimly lighted hospital room became very bright.
A hand suddenly came on his shoulder and pushed him forward.
Even though he knew who the person was, Tian Yuan couldn't gather the courage to turn his neck and look into his eyes.
A finger suddenly appeared in his sight and he saw that it was pointing towards the ECG machine.
"Auntie needs that one and that one…too"
Liu Ji Fan pointed towards a few equipments before he suddenly stopped and leaned closer to Tian Yuan.
"But how will you move all of them, baby?"
Tian Yuan gulped audibly when he felt Liu Ji Fan's warm breath on his neck.
The fact that scared him more was that he couldn't sense any danger in Liu Ji Fan's voice. From the voice, it seemed that Liu Ji Fan was exceptionally calm.
However, this calmness only seemed to him like the calm before the storm.
He almost stopped breathing when he was suddenly turned to face Liu Ji Fan forcefully. The deep black eye stared at him and they were filled with a little disappointment.
A thumb stroked his cheek gently and he heard Liu Ji Fan's voice.
"Baby, if you don't like this hospital for Mom then you could always tell me."
Tian Yuan didn't get enough time to concentrate on this 'mom' word from Liu Ji Fan's mouth as he was busier in trying to find any trace of anger on Liu Ji Fan's face or eyes.
"We could move Mom to our house also."
Liu Ji Fan said gently as he stroked Tian Yuan's cheek.
Tian Yuan was completely confused. The gentleness in Liu Ji Fan's made him feel guilty as well as afraid.
He couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.
"I was running away."
The thumb on his cheek stopped moving and Liu Ji Fan stared at him with a blank face. A moment later just when Tian Yuan had expected him to burst in anger, he heard Liu Ji Fan's sigh
"I know. But you can at least let me pretend me otherwise."
Tian Yuan looked at Liu Ji Fan as if he was crazy and Liu Ji Fan couldn't help but laugh seeing this.
"What?"
He chuckled as he ruffled Tian Yuan's hair while saying
"By the way, you look so handsome in this uniform."
His deep black eyes suddenly held something that was very familiar to Tian Yuan. And sure enough, the dog-man said
"Baby, I suddenly want to ravish you."
Tian Yuan's cheeks burnt red hearing those words and he pushed Liu Ji Fan in anger while murmuring.
"Shameless man."
A moment later, he suddenly looked at Liu Ji Fan again as if he had grown two horns. He really couldn't believe that Liu Ji Fan was not angry.
"Angry?"
Liu Ji Fan sighed again and then he shook his head as he stepped closer to Tian Yuan. Tian Yuan stood still as their foreheads touched each other.
For the first time, he could really see some pain in his deep black eyes as he heard Liu Ji Fan saying
"Not angry…just a little disappointed that in all these days I couldn't give you a single reason to stay beside me."
