Chapter 85 - Her heart feel suffocated.

Lifen stood up instantly after disconnecting the call. It was obvious by her expression that she had completely forgotten about her promise to Chang, "I think, I should leave now. I have to reach the First Hospital. Will talk tomorrow, don't bother yourself with such petty things and don't you dare blame yourself again".

He gently nodded to her with a warm smile and was about to say something to her but she has already rushed out.

Lifen was out on the street waiting for the cab to arrive. She has booked a cab online today but it has yet to arrive in another 10 minutes. She was lightly playing with her foot and waiting for the cab, when a honk was heard behind her.

She didn't turned to look behind and shifted a little towards the sidewalk. But it wasn't over, the car honked again, pacing a little near to her. She ignored again and was busy with something in her phone.

"Lifen, get inside the car. I will drop you", a familiar caught her attention. She tilted to look at the person inside the car. A warm smile curled on her lips, "It's not necessary. I have already booked a cab for myself, it will be here soon".

Deming stopped the engine to stepped out of the car. He swiftly walked to reach her, "Give me your phone".

"Huh?"

"Sigh, Just give me your phone once", He expeditiously grabbed her phone from her hand. Lifen wasn't able be to predict his act.

The phone was unlocked as she has been using it before he got it. She was looking at his fingers which were working efficiently on her phone screen. Till she realized what he was doing, it was too late, the cab was already cancelled.

"It was so simple", he said nonchalantly.

Lifen squinted her eyes in her flare of anger. She grabbed her phone back at a breakneck speed and snorted at him, "What have you done? You have cancelled the cab I have booked. Now how will reach the hospital ".

"Why you have to worry about that? You didn't needed a cab to drop you off as I have offered you the ride. Come, get in quickly", he opened the door for her.

Lifen didn't budge from her place. He repeated again, "Get in quickly,cor you will be late".

She reluctantly get into the car. Something irked her. She voiced out her thoughts when Deming settled to drive the car, "You shouldn't have troubled yourself for me. I would have taken the cab".

"It's not a trouble. I am just helping my best friend" he said as it was the only fact existed. He was driving his car smoothly.

"Best Friend?" it was unexpected for her. She had thought that she was just a mere friend but here he goes claiming her as his best friend.

"Yeah of course. You are not less than a best friend to me, or I might say you are the only one"

"Wow Wow, wait a second. Don't say you don't have any friends in your life. How is that possible?" she wasn't able to believe him. She knew true friends are really hard to make but still life always give everyone that someone in life with whom you can share all your thoughts and worries without making any thought.

"Who said I don't have one? I have you now and apart from you there is none whom I can trust to the extent where I put all my guards down", he said while looking at her as she was the one on whom he can rely.

Lifen was a little taken aback at his words. His word were so simple yet it hold such a deep meaning which can easily mislead the word friendship to love. She nodded to him and looked out of the window. She loved to watch the passing street lights which always gave her hope that nothing is still in life, pain will always wane away after time passes.

She was interrupted in between her thoughts again when her phone rang. She picked up and without waiting the other side to respond, she buzz, "Chang, I am almost there".

"Why have to ask these two demons here", he hissed softly.

"I haven't asked them. I have only informed them about your condition and they went to visit you. It's good you won't be alone now".

"Yeah, but I want to spend my time with you".

"Okay, wait a bit more. I will be there soon", she said and disconnected the call. This was the only thing she never wanted. An unwanted relationship always becomes a burden on your heart. It's neither healthy for you nor for anyone else. This mere feeling make her heart feel suffocated.

By now, Deming was dwelling whether to say his next words to her or not but now seeing her suffocation, which was really hard for her to hide he decided for it. He doesn't know but now he was sure that he can't see his only friend in so much pain. He can't let her live suffocating herself like this.

"Lifen, why don't you stop this. You don't have to force yourself that hard"

She tilted her head to look at him, he was looking at her for a while now. She understood what he was talking about but didn't know how a answer him.

"I can't break his heart this time. It pains a hundredfold when someone breaks it. I can't let him suffer again. And he had only asked me for 3 months. I can do that much for him".
