"At least he developed a conscience now," Yang Zi mumbled as she continued walking. The moment she comes to the end of the long corridor, someone coming from her right-hand side bumped into her.
"Zi Er!" Xiaofei remarked in shock, as he turned and exchanged a puzzled glance with the lady standing beside him.
"Zi Er, what are you doing here? Is any of your acquaintance admitted to this hospital?" Qing Shui asked curiously.
"When did you both intend to tell me that he was severely sick? Is it when he died because of his stubbornness?" Yang Zi asked to the surprise of the couple, who turned to stare at each other when they heard her question.
"How did you know that dad is admitted to this hospital?" Xiaofei asked, as he turned and stared at Qing Shui suspiciously. He recalled that they both agreed that they won't mention his father's hospitalisation to Yang Zi.
"Zi Er, it's not what you think...,"
"Xiaofei, go and inform the doctors that he is gonna have the surgery as soon as possible. Inform them to prepare the operation room...,"
"He agreed to have the surgery? What exactly did you tell him to make him change his mind?" Xiaofei asked, not believing that his stubborn father easily decided to undergo the surgery.
"I told him with a stern expression that I will donate all his organs if he dared to die," Yang Zi joked, as she forced on a smile. None of them laughed since they knew that she was forcing herself to joke so she won't make them worry.
"Zi Er, are you alright?" Qing Shui asked curiously, as she stared at her face.
"Shui Shui, Xiaofei it is high time you both stop feeling guilty for me. You both have never hurt me so, I don't see why you need to feel guilty for what he did. You don't have to always walk on eggshells around me because I am totally alright," Yang Zi said, as she tapped Qing Shui by the shoulder before she walked past them.
"Zi Er, thank you for this favour you have done for us. We will never forget how you let go of your hard feelings for our sake," Qing Shui said, as she turned and stared at Yang Zi's back.
"We are really grateful for the compromise," Xiaofei said appreciatively.
"Hurry up and go prepare for the surgery," Yang Zi said, as she walked away without turning back.
"Mum, you have always wanted me to find my biological family so, I am sure you must be proud of me for what I did right?" Yang Zi, who was now inside her car mumbled to herself.
Her driver immediately drove away after she fastened her seatbelt.
That same day, in a bar a lady wearing a white denim trouser on top of a black long sleeve leather jacket sat in front of a guy wearing a grey long sleeve casual shirt. He wore a pair of blue jeans.
"Hello cousin, how was my acting yesterday? It was fabulous right?" Wang Yibo asked, grinning.
"You are at it again, Yibo," Feng Shu said shaking her head.
"You are still the same cold you despite that it has been so long since we last met. I was expecting to see a more gentle lady but how could I expect that when you have failed to fall in love. It was my mistake for expecting such an impossible thing from my cousin," Wang Yibo said, as he sipped the content of his glass.
"Wang Yibo, how could you say that about your cousin who did not relent to come to Keelung country to protect the woman you love for your sake?" Feng Shu said displeasingly.
"I did not fail to give you an update on how she was doing. I endured all your screaming and curses for over three years, you should be kowtowing to me instead of saying bad things to me...,"
"I didn't say anything bad to you. You would indeed have mellowed down if you had fallen in love. It's is not my fault that you couldn't find someone extraordinary like Cutie Pie," Wang Yibo said, feeling no remorse for what he said to Feng Shu.
"How is it my fault that men failed to see how amazing of a person that I am?" Feng Shu asked, frowning to show how unhappy she was.
"Maybe, they did find you awesome but you failed to recognise it. I won't be surprised if you had chased away those men who thought so highly of you," Wang Yibo said playfully.
"What is so awesome about falling in love with Zi Er? You did find the woman for you but you carelessly let her go without even caring to follow her. Now, she did not only fall in love with another man but that man hurt her so much to the point that she wanted to end her life," Feng Shu said in a serious tone.
Wang Yibo's expression changed drastically when he heard her words. For five minutes, none of them spoke to each other, they just drank in silence.
"So, what are you gonna do now? When do you intend to tell Zi Er that you don't have much time to live...,"
"Shhh... What if someone we know overhears your words?" Wang Yibo interrupted her, as he looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on them.
"Yibo, you aren't planning to keep your condition a secret from her, are you? You know she has lost so many people she loved, her poor heart won't be able to bear it if she knows that the guy she trusted so much lied to her," Feng Shu said in a serious tone.
"This is exactly why I don't want to reveal anything about my illness to her. The pain of losing those she loved has left her heartbroken so many times, I don't want her to ever experience such pain. You know my whole life has been to always make her happy. Seeing her sad is not an option, that is why I will be gone in this world before she even realises it. I think doing that will be less painful," Wang Yibo said, as he forced on a smile.
