Chapter 218 Nightmare.

"Doctor, how is she?" Mu Yuehan and Zhou Yonge asked at the same time.

Before jumping in the elevator, Mu Yuehan had asked Li Tao to call Zhou Yonge. Even though he did not want to, but he knew Zhou Liying would like to see the face of Zhou Yonge more than his after waking up.

He wanted to give her comfort. He knew she was only unconscious when he rescued her but he did not know the reason. What if she had a panic attack because of which she fainted.

He could only think of what she felt when she was caught in a dark elevator and that too alone, without any knowledge when others would realise that she was stuck in it.

To give her some relief when she woke up, he called Zhou Yonge. He was also feeling guilty, guilty because she stayed stuck in the elevator for a long time. He thought it was his mistake.

"She is all right, nothing to worry about her. She fainted because of panic. I have given her needed aid. She will wake up at any time."

"Thank you, doctor." Mu Yuehan sighed when he heard the words of the doctor.

"Thank your Mister Mu, for saving my miss." Aiden bowed toward him. "If you were not there, it would have taken us a long time to know that she was stuck in the elevator."

Mu Yuehan narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "Why were there no guards beside her when she entered the elevator? Don't you know that there is a threat to her life? So, is it not your responsibility to place a guard beside her all the time?" he directed his anger and frustration toward Aiden.

"I am sorry, but Miss does not like when we follow after her all the time. She had strict orders to us to not follow her all around, especially in her office where she feels safe." Aiden was feeling guilty and helpless.

Mu Yuehan cursed under his breath. He knew Zhou Liying. "Become shameless and take your place in her office. For your knowledge, I worked for her as her guard. I did not leave her side for even a second. So, you too should not."

"But…." Aiden was conflicted. He was not trained to go against the orders of Zhou Liying. It was worse than death for going against the orders of your owner or become disloyal to her.

"Aiden, I am ordering you. Appoint a guard by the side of Zhou Liying all the time. If not all the time, then ensure that a person is checking on her after every fifteen minutes, to check her safety." Zhou Yonge ordered, taking the command in his hands. "Now go, and check the reason for this power cut."

"Yes sir." Aiden bowed and left.

Mu Yuehan sighed and leaned against the wall. Zhou Yonge walked toward him.

When Zhou Yonge received a call from Li Tao that Zhou Liying got stuck in an elevator, he panicked. Worry appeared in his heart. He was scared for her, afraid for the only memory of his big brother. He was afraid for her as a father should be.

He hurried toward the hospital where Zhou Liying was to be brought. He made all the arrangements before Mu Yuehan barged in with Zhou Liying in his arms. VIP doctors were all ready to look after her. A whole floor was cleared for her stay.

Zhou Yonge too felt relief when he heard the words of Mu Yuehan. He felt glad that nothing worse happened to Zhou Liying. He had heard how people died of panic attack due to getting stuck in an elevator.

"I am sorry uncle. I failed to protect her." Mu Yuehan covered his face with his hands and took a long breath.

"It was not your fault." Zhou Yonge patted on his shoulder. "No one could have imagined that she'd get stuck in an elevator. Everyone knows, it is hard for the power of Zhou corporation to get cut like this. It was all her bad fate."

Zhou Yonge squeezed on his shoulder. "Now cheer up. Nothing happened to her. You saved her. Otherwise, who knows, for how long was she going to stay stuck in the elevator. You saved her Mu Yuehan. Stop feeling guilty."

His words acted like a remedy to the heart of Mu Yuehan. He took a deep breath and uncovered his face.

'I saved her, yes. I saved her. I did not let anything happen to her. I will always protect her like this.'

"Patient is shifted to the ward. You can see her." A nurse informed.

Mu Yuehan and Zhou Yonge entered in the ward. Both took their seats on either side of Zhou Liying. They held on her hands, waiting for her to wake up.

It was dark. It was very dark and cold. It was so dark that she was not able to see or feel anything. There was not even a ray of light around her. She felt as if she was caged in a room without any door or window.

She tried to move, to find some wall or something else but there was nothing. She was alone and did not know where.

She felt as if she was part of some horror movie where she was caged in a dark room. She felt scared because of the darkness as well as she also felt cold.

"Someone here?" she yelled. "Can someone hear me?"

She was feeling desperate, desperate to see light, to be away from this foreign place. She started to feel panicked when she received no reply. She ran here and there, trying to find her escape.

She felt lonely and afraid.

"Please help me. Can someone hear me? Help, help…." She yelled.

"No one is here, no one is coming here to help you." She heard a loud voice, filled with cruelty. "You are alone and weak."

Someone started to laugh. His laughter was very loud. Zhou Liying covered her ears and stumbled down on the floor. Her hands were tightly pressed against her ears.

"Help, help…."

**

With a gasp, Zhou Liying opened her eyes. She looked at the white ceiling of the hospital. Her heart was beating fast and she was taking deep breathes.

"Liying, you are up. Thank god."

She saw the face of Zhou Yonge the very next second. Without thinking about anything, she threw herself in his arms, to find her warmth and her comfort.
