Chapter 19：Chase This Devil

Next day at the hospital she went to his room after she reported for the duty. He was sleeping. She went to check his temperature. He opened his eyes and had roughly removed her hand.

It had taken her the entire day to make him understand the value of recovering and winning from Ying Yue.

She knew she had to keep trying for more days. That was normal for patients who were victims of mental trauma. The recovery process was slow. She had to gain his trust and slowly take him from there back to his daily, cheerful life.

The doctor's treatment plan mentioned tasks that were close to his heart. And for this reason she had gone to meet his mother.

Humming that song was part of the therapy. She had to throw a bait, open a window and reach out to him in one way or the other. It was crucial that he opens his heart to her for successful implementation of the treatment.

At the facility she would take of Yang Xinyu genuinely. He was slowly opening to her.

He had started calling his office to deliver him important office documents at the hospital. She would often help him read out the files that were sent from his office. Although she found them boring, she read them nevertheless. She seldom slept in the midst of reading them out and he would take the opportunity to tease her and open her bun.

She felt that the treatment was going in the right way.

It was during the second week of his stay in the facility that an incident occurred. He was sleeping in the evening and she had gone to the nurse-station, as it was time for her duty to end. All of a sudden a male nurse ran inside and informed her that Yang Xinyu was shouting in his sleep.

She had already changed in her casuals and was about to leave, but she ran to his room to check on the situation. Yang Xinyu was sweating profusely, shaking and shouting, "Ying Yue, I won't leave you! I'll kill you! Please, please… help me… Lina… where are you... Chase this devil…!"

Wu Lina came to him and shook him gently, "I am right here CEO Yang. Open your eyes."

When he didn't respond, she shook him harshly, "Open your eyes Yang Xinyu. Don't worry. Please, I am right here."

She had caught his shoulders. Yang Xinyu opened his eyes and upon seeing her he hugged her tightly and pleaded, "Wu Lina, don't leave me please. These nightmares are unbearable. Please stay with me here. I beg of you."

Seeing his pitiable state, Wu Lina was so heartbroken that she agreed. "Sure Third Master Yang, I will. Please don't be scared. I am right there with you."

"Thanks Wu Lina…" he called her name tenderly…

She instructed the male nurse who had followed her inside to bring her an extra pair of sheets since the current ones were badly ruffled and slightly moist due to his sweat.

She stayed in his embrace until he calmed down. Although she felt a little awkward, thinking it as a part of her profession, she stayed in his embrace and patted his back to assure him.

When he calmed she made him lie down on the bed and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel to wipe his sweat. She fetched some dry hospital clothes for him to change into.

Yang Xinyu was too drowsy to notice her. He seemed to relax under her familiar touch. He drifted off in a deep slumber…
