"But why are you asking about her suddenly?" Jiang Yuyan asked curiously
"Nothing, I was just being curious to know about her. You know me well when it comes to a girl." Saying it Jiang Yang went to the stands where colors and brushes were arranged in a proper and accessible way.
He pulled out few brushes and signaled her to ask which one, to it, Jiang Yuyan replied, "left one" and resumed the conversation.
"This time you are not like how you deal with other girls. You seem different, so can I take it as you like her."
Jiang Yang moved to the shelf having color boxes on it and replied, "Hmm! Yeah! She is different from other girls I saw till now and there is something that is pulling me towards her when I don't want to."
"I see. Well, she is pretty." Saying it, Jiang Yuyan followed him to the shelf to grab few colors.
Pulling out a few boxes, Jiang Yang replied, "She is but that's not the reason. You know I am not the kind of a person to go behind the looks of a girl."
"Really?" saying it sarcastically, Jiang Yuyan took the color box from his hands and stepped back to her place.
Jiang Yang understood her sarcastic remark. "Well, there were moments like that but that was just to pass the time, nothing serious at all." Saying it grabbed the apron hanged on the stand near to the shelf and went to his sister.
She opened the color box and pulled out the tiny containers from it. "I know. You were serious about only one girl till now and you have to break up with her because of me."
Jiang Yang went to her, put an apron on her and moved to her backside to tie it up, "Don't blame yourself. I think that happened for the best as in the future we might not have been together because I never planned to stay in the USA forever and she wouldn't have come to China."
Jiang Yuyan stood still to let him tie the apron properly and replied, "Then, it's fine and also you have found a new love interest now, my friend Nixxxie."
Once he was done securing her apron, he gave out a deep sigh and said, "Not yet. Seeing at the scenario, it would be hard to make her fall for anyone."
Jiang Yuyan turned to look at her brother, "Hmm! Keep trying. Same applied to me too, but Lu Qiang made it possible."
"Yeah! If my sister can fall in love then anyone in the world can." Saying it he patted her head.
The next day after going to the hospital, Jiang Yang was excited to see Nixxxie but he was aware that it was his work time and he had to do it seriously. When he went to the VIP patient's room to check her mother, Nixxxie was not there. Instead, the same old lady from the day of her surgery was sitting on the couch.
Running his sight across the room to search for her, he went to the patient. When Jiang Yang was checking the patient, suddenly visitors came in. An old man in his late fifties with one young man in his late twenties entered inside. They looked like a family of the patient. Both men were wearing a stylish business suit that showed they were rich and not any normal people.
Jiang Yang ignored it and continued to check the patient. Those men too didn't disturb Jiang Yang and stayed silent. Once he was done, the older man asked, "How is she doing doctor?"
"She is doing fine for now, but she is a very week and we have to take proper care of her," Jiang Yang replied.
The old man gave out a deep sigh, "Hmm! These women are careless sometimes with their healths."
The young man beside him put his hand on the old man's shoulders and said, "Don't worry father, she would be fine as we are here to take care of her."br>"No need! I can take care of my mother. Don't bother urself with it." That was Nixxie who came back to the room and saying it she stood beside her mother as she didn't want those men to go near her.
The Young man was calm but in his grey eyes there was a mischievous grin, "Little sister, you are still very young. Leave it to me."
Hearing it, Nixxxie raised her voice, "Brother Xi Cheng, I am not a kid anymore. I can look after my mother."
Before Xi Cheng could say anything, Jiang Yang spoke, "I think, for now, having fewer people around the patient would be better and the one whom the patient is close to should be here so it will be better for the patient."
Seeing the way she reacted, protective towards her mother and the way she looked anxious to him, he was sure she didn't want anyone to be with her mother but her.
"Doctor is right Xi Cheng. Let your sister be here." The older man looked at Nixxxie and said, "Take good care of your mother, if there is anything, inform my assistant."
"Hmm!" Nixxxie just nodded.
"I will take leave then." Saying it an older man turned while Xi Cheng looked at Nixxxie, staring in her eyes and grinned, "Take care little sister." Nixxxie didn't respond to him and turned her face in another direction. Jiang Yang noticed it and realized something was wrong.
Jiang Yang understood something was not right in this family and Nixxxie was affected with this. To him, she looked more of a helpless girl who is struggling in her life. He wanted to ask her but that was not the right time as he was doing his duty as a doctor, not a family counselor. Moreover, he doubted that she will tell him anything.
When those two men left, Nixxxie looked at Jiang Yang and understood he had noticed something and felt awkward.
