I am overwhelmed by the number of comments that I am getting. Seems like I am getting a lot of new readers ..kim from thailand, Satya Sai, Sraoshee.. thank you guys. Your comments keep me motivated.
I realised that there were no reviews in novel updates yet. For every review ( positive :)) I will do a double chapter release.. but on consecutive days so the thieving sites only get half of the chapter.
Enjoy! Don’t forget to catch up on Part2 in Ch 25.2 which I have updated now at miumiu596 at blogspot. This chapter shows the caring side of YZ and even our simple, optimistic Bo Bing gets an inkling of the dark clouds looming over the horizon..
Chapter 26 : A Woman"s heart
If this accident had happened in China, the doctor would, at most, wash the wound with a disinfectant and do a simple dressing. Then, with a teta.n.u.s shot, he would have sent the patient home
The j.a.panese doctors were nothing like the doctors back home. They carefully checked me from top to bottom to determine that there were no internal injuries or fractures or that I did not have a concussion, He also suggested I stay a few days in the hospital under observation.
The man in the white coat reminded me a bit of Ye Zhengchen. I became a bit more anxious and prayed that he would have a bit more patience..
Once again , my prayer was ignored. My cell phone rang. The doctor was dressing the wound in my arm so I could not move, I stared at my bag
Yu Yin saw me. Letting go of my hand, she took the phone out of my bag and looked at the caller id.
"It"s your boyfriend calling. I"ll speak to him."
I remembered that I had stored Ye Zhengchen"s number only as "brother" , but she could actually guess that it was my boyfriend.
Smart!
" Don"t tell him that I am injured", I said. " Just tell him that I can"t answer the phone right now and I will call him back."
"Sure."
Yu Yin connected the call. The hospital was quiet. I could clearly hear ye Zhengchen smile. "If you are not back in the next half an hour, don"t blame me if I behave like an animal tonight…"
I started sweating! The greatest embarra.s.sment in my life is that I had manage to land a boyfriend like this..
My face heated up like a red pepper.
I guessed Yu Yin had never heard such dirty words. Her face paled.
However, she was, after all, a perfect lady, and soon regained her composure. She softly said, " h.e.l.lo.."
"……" “…”
For a long time, there was silence on the other end.
I figured that the s.e.x maniac on the other side was deeply embarra.s.sed. If I had hung up the phone, he would have killed himself with a piece of tofu from the refrigerator.
Yu Yin once again spoke, her voice clear and gentle, "I am Yu Yin. I"m a friend of Bo Bing"s."
"Where is she?" Ye Zhengchen spoke. Strangely, his voice was not the least bit embarra.s.sed, but extremely frosty." Give her the phone"
" She is a bit busy. She can"t answer the phone right now. I will ask her to call you back as soon as she can."
"Get her on the phone. Now."
His voice was not only cold, but it was commanding. There was no room for negotiation.
I had never heard him speak like this, his tone strange and anxious.
Almost reflexively, I rushed to the phone and took it from Yu Yin"s hands.
"Brother..", I said, " I got caught up in something. I"ll be back soon."
" Where are you?"
As soon as he heard my voice, his tone warmed up significantly. " Didnt you say that you will come back soon? Why are you with her?"
Although his tone was a lot better, but just the memory of his earlier tome scared me and I confessed everything.
" I tried to skip a red light and had a small accident."
I was afraid that he would worry too much, so I immediately added, " It"s not a serious injury. Just a flesh wound.."
Before I had finished, he immediately asked, " Which hospital are you in?"
" Feng Chinese Hospital", I answered obediently.
" Wait for me."
Without a word, he hung up the phone.
The hospital was close to the apartment. I estimated that he would reach in about ten minutes. It just took Ye Zhengchen seven minutes to reach the emergency room.
As soon as he entered the room, he checked my wounds and asked the doctor for a detailed diagnosis.
It was only after the doctor finished that he turned to speak to me.
" How did you get into the accident?"
As he asked me, he glanced at Yu Yin. It seemed she couldn’t shrug off her role in the accident.
"It"s not her fault. I ran the red light, but luckily she braked and swerved in time." I was scared of him, so I smiled and said, " Otherwise, I"m afraid you would have to collect your tuition fees from me in my next lifetime.."
He tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth, Instead he pulled me into his arms, He held me too tight. I could feel the pressure on my wounds, but I didn"t complain. I was just feeling very happy.
Yu Yin stood looking at us. There was no expression on her face. She looked like an angel, standing alone as she observed the love and sorrow of earthly men and women.
I guessed that she must have been reminded of something in her own life, because I could see tears well up in her eyes.
…… …
By the joint decision of Yu Yin and Ye Zhengchen, I was forced to stay in the hospital for a week under observation.
The cost of the hospitalisation , net of the insurance, was borne by Yu Yin
I reminded Ye Zhengchen that this accident was not Yu Yin"s fault and that I should refund the money back to her.
He only coldly said, " Yes".
During these days of hospitalization, I found something strange between Yu Yin and Ye Zhengchen. Yu Yin seemed to be a bit afraid of Ye Zhengchen. Every day, she would come and meet me, take care of me and laugh with me over silly things.
But as soon as Ye Zhengchen would arrive , she would make some excuse and leave. To me, this seemed inexplicable.
Once I asked ye Zhengchen, " Do you dislike Yu Yin?"
Ye Zhengchen was trying to cool the milk by blowing on it. "No", he answered.
" Then why are you so cold to er ?"
He smiled and pinched my cheeks, " I am worried that you will suspect we are having an affair."
"Huh!" I sneered, " I am not that kind of a petty woman."
"That"s true", Ye Zhengchen nodded in agreement, " I can"t remember who was it that asked me if Yu Yin was beautiful the moment I met her…"
I looked at the ceiling, then at the gla.s.s of milk.
"Brother, don"t you think the milk is cool enough to drink now?"
He brought the gla.s.s to my lips and helped me drink the milk slowly.
