That night, Yu Fei doesn"t go back to Ko House,but returns to her own home instead.
She seldom returned in the past three years. Her room has been transformed into a storeroom by her step-mother.
Those days, Yu Fei brought her whole family safety, wealth and honor by trading herself, however, Yu Family abandoned her in return. Seeing the once familiar house, she is so grieved that she feels like crying.
"Click."
It is the door that opens. Yu Yu walks in, reeking with booze,and is stunned when seeing Yu Fei.
"Yu Fei? Why do you come back?"
Yu Fei feels bitter, pinching the bag in her hands. Her voice seems a little weak in this empty room, "I come back to visit our parents."
Yu Yu sneers and throws herself in the leather sofa in the living room.
"Isn"t it curious,distinguished Mrs.Ko, you should visit our slum. Don"t you know they have been abroad? Who are you going to visit? or--" Yu Yu drawls deliberately, "you are driven out of the rich family like dogs in the water, so you have nowhere to go but come back?"
Yu Yu"s vicious smile burns Yu Fei"s eyes like fire. She takes a deep breath,and stands in front of Yu Yu, "Yu Yu, the thing happened three years ago..."
"What thing three years ago?" Yu Yu interrupts her arrogantly and eloquently, and stands up from the sofa and stares at her, "three years ago, it was you who didn"t behave yourself, concealed the fact that you had aborted and married Ko Chen!"
"What?!" Yu Fei can"t believe her sister should call black white. She saved her that time due to her kindness, but now it seems like it"s just a story about The Snake and the Farmer, "At that time,you were not an adult,I was afraid that your reputation would be ruined,so I"d allowed you to use my name, but now you..."
"Do you have any proof?" Yu Yu claims, forcing Yu Fei to retreat, "Does anyone except you know? If you want to blame, you really should blame yourself, for your silliness!"
Yu Fei flops on the stool, feeling the world is up side down. Looking Yu Yu in front of her, Yu Fei can only feel Yu Yu has become fierce and horrible. The room is so silent that only the clock"s tick-ticking can be heard. Abruptly, Yu Fei laughs out. "Wh, why do you laugh? madwoman!" Yu Yu looks at Yu Fei with a chill on her back.
Yu Fei stands up from the sofa slowly, and smiles, "although you wrote down my name when you aborted, on the medicine reports and other medical certificates, they wrote your name!"
Yu Yu was frozen.
"I was concerned about your sequelae, so I just keep these reports. Unexpectedly, they are in good use now."
"No way, no way!" Yu Yu shakes her head astonishingly, "I do not believe you keep those reports, no way! Three years, they must have been lost!"
"Believe it or not, it doesn"t matter. I took your reputation into account originally, and meant to discuss how to deal with it with you. Since you are so cold-blooded, you can"t blame my ruthlessness! Tomorrow morning, at nine o"clock, I will wait for you in front of Ko Tower. If you don"t come, don"t blame me if I send them out regardless of our sisterhood!"
Yu Fei walks out with head raised. Actually, she doesn"t want to be malicious, which is not allowed by the reality, however. She can"t stay at this home any longer, but she doesn"t dare to go back to another home, either. She"s afraid of that man"s stare and his cynicism as well!
Ko Chen is driven back to Ko House by his friend and family doctor Duan Tsingfong. When Duan heard that Ko had already started having medicine today, he was furious!
"Can"t you wait to die? I managed to find you a doctor abroad, but you refused surgery? I thought you may be afraid to die on the operating table. But today you"ve done a good job, raining yourself outside to court death. You"re not even coming to me when you spit blood. A doctor like me is that useless in your eyes?"
Duan Tsingfong stands akimbo in Ko"s office, giving his "speech" like a machine gun. Uncle Chang touches his own nose and retreats silently. While Ko Chen, with no expression on his face,is still looking at the doc.u.ments in his hands.
"If I"m dead, that"s my business."
After a long time, Ko Chen gives these seven words. Duan Tsingfong stares at Ko Chen as if he were looking at a monster.
"What are you talking about? Your business? I"m your family doctor, and if you"re dead, on the one hand, I"ll be wanted by the whole Ko family, and on the other hand, I cannot hold my International Great Doctor"s t.i.tle anymore?!"
"That"s your business" Ko Chen doesn"t even raise his head, "I had given your chances, it was you who said that you weren"t able to cure me!"
Duan loses his tongue, and retorts awkwardly after a while, "your, your disease is rare difficult miscellaneous disease, don"t you understand the word "rare"? I"m not G.o.d after all. Besides, didn"t I find a special team abroad? And there are...are chances!"
Ko Chen"s writing hand is stopped. When he looks up, he has a smile on his face, which surprises Duan.
"Thank you."
Ko"s voice is not loud, but Duan hears it clearly. G.o.d is really "fair", such an excellent man, even G.o.d is jealous of.
Duan turns his head hastily and wipes away his tears. When he turns back, he returns to his bohemian look. He drags Ko out of his seat and pushes him out.
"Don"t say disgusting words, man, if you really want to thank me, don"t work so hard. Go home and have a rest, recover yourself and then have the surgery!"
Ko means to refuse, but unwittingly, he catches a glimpse of the tears dripping from the man behind him, so he tails off his refusal into silence. Back to Ko House, he finds the window on the second floor, which has been illuminated for him for three years, is now dark.
"Doesn"t she come back?"
He"s scared. He rushes into bedroom hastily, n.o.body. Bathroom, n.o.body. Study room, n.o.body......
There is no hint of that woman"s figure everywhere. Ko stands in the empty hall and feels whirling, and he takes two more pills in a hurry. Thinking of the man he saw in the hospital today, he is so frightened that he takes out the phone.
"Uncle Chang, please send someone out to find Yu Fei right now. She doesn"t go home tonight!"
Uncle Chang doesn"t dare to delay a second. Ko Chen doesn"t dare to relax, either. He drives along the road to hospital and looks for her carefully. In such a vast sea of people, a deep sense of powerlessness arises in his heart.
Until four o"clock in the morning, he receives news from his secondaries that Yu Fei stays at a hotel. His hanging heart finally lands.
Ko Chen stands in the monitoring room and looks at the skinny woman. He can"t help touching the screen, "What am I supposed to do with you?"
