Yu Fei knows nothing about the outside world. Nothing can be heard except their breath.
More and more tenderness and affection spilling over from his eyes, Ko Chen stares at Yu Fei in his chair and doesn"t feel bored at all as time pa.s.ses by.
Under such a stare, Yu Fei moans and opens her eyes, and happens to catch the sight of him.
He doesn"t expect Yu Fei"s waking up so suddenly. Seeing her beautiful eyes, he loses his mind.
Silence still drifts in the air, but something seems to be different.
They look at each other, and an illusion emerges that the air flows gently with spark.
Yu Fei"s sickness and Ko Chen"s loss for words contribute to their silence.
Ko Chen knows his Fei is sick and she has shut her heart gate, not allowing anyone in nor herself out, though she looks normal.
For a second, Ko Chen is stunned by the soft hand which is held gently by him.
"Fei..." Ko Chen whispers. But the girl has no response even when he has been holding her hands since she woke up.
Seeing her like this, he feels distressed, for Yu Fei is like a soulless doll which is lovely in appearance but empty in heart.
Ko Chen is speechless after calling her name. His fingers rub her palm spontaneously as if to open her closed door.
Time pa.s.sing by, Ko Chen feels that time here is accelerated. He doesn"t react until Uncle Zhang calls to urge him back.
Every second and every minute with Yu Yu flies so fast that it disappears in a blink.
Uncle Zhang knows that Ko Chen will forget time when he"s with Yu Yu, so he calls to urge him back.
Gu Yi has already known the whole thing after going back to the company. He is not stupid and certainly understands immediately that there must be someone setting the obstacle deliberately. Considering Family Ko, he will definitely come back.
"I see." Ko Chen responds in a low voice, lowering his eyes, and hangs up the phone, not hearing Uncle Zhang"s sigh.
Unwilling to leave, Ko Chen delivers an affectionate look which is so full of love and tenderness that it almost spills out. At length, he bends and kisses Yu Fei"s forehead, having no way but to leave.
What Ko Chen doesn"t know is that the moment he walks out, Yu Fei"s fingers suddenly twitch and her eyes instantly are filled with tears which fall and soon wet the pillow.
"Chen, Chen......" After a long time of dumbness, Yu Fei murmurs, calling Ko Chen"s name again and again. Her voice is louder and louder and nearly turns into a heart-torn roar at length.
Startled by Yu Fei"s voice, nurses around run in in a hurry.
What Gu Yi sees when he returns to the hospital is this scene where a group of doctors are running towards Yu Fei"s ward and are discussing something at the meantime.
Gu Yi feels something wrong and his heart starts panging. He speeds up his pace.
He is stopped by a nurse in front of the ward. She says, "I"m sorry, sir, but you can"t go in now."
In an instant Gu Yi loses his temper. He clenches the nurse"s arm and asks her what the matter is with Yu Fei.
Gu Yi realizes his rudeness when noticing the nurse"s tortured face. He loosens her arm and asks for details with an apology.
She only asks him to wait outside the ward with a forced smile, and then she walks in again, leaving Gu Yi in futile anxiety.
At this time, Ko Chen is resting in the car. He means to go to the company. But before he could say anything, the phone rings.
He sees Uncle Zhang on the screen and thinks that Uncle Zhang tends to urge him again.
He gets through the phone. Before he could answer, Uncle Zhang has reported Yu Fei"s illness. Ko Chen pops up from his seat and holds the phone so tightly that his fingertips become whitened.
"What? Say it again!"
He can"t control his temper now, even speaking to Uncle Zhang. On thinking of Yu Fei, he feels like a demon dwelling in his body is roaring as if its rage would never be vented completely.
Ko Chen"s reaction is within Uncle Zhang"s expectation. He comforts him not to worry too much for the time being, for the result isn"t confirmed by the hospital, and though her illness is in a changing state and might worsen, it might be healed. The result has not come out, and everything is not sure yet.
For all the comforts, Ko Chen can"t keep calm on thinking of deteriorating.
"Go back to the hospital."
In a hurry, Ko Chen goes back to the hospital. A hank of hair combed meticulously hangs on his eyebrows, his suit hangs on his arm, and his sleeves roll up high. His typical calmness fades away. Instead, anxiety and concern take its place.
Ko Chen sees Gu Yi on the bench at the first sight when he"s back the ward. Gu Yi also looks up at him when he hears the footsteps. Neither of them has a pleasant face.
Gu Yi is especially unpleasant for he found that the government argued irrationally on a trivial point when he investigated the land affairs. Usually, this matter won"t be worth mentioning at all, and every time he communicates with them, they are easy to talk to and never embarra.s.s him.
Ko Chen"s att.i.tude adds to Gu Yi"s confusion.
The whole thing is as if someone were deliberately trying to get him back to the company.
Leave her ward and go back to company...A cold and cynical smile emerges on Gu Yi"s face. Can"t imagine the great Mr.Ko will use this kind of tricks.
Now that they happen to meet, Gu Yi will have no good att.i.tude towards him.
Gu Yi stands up and goes to Ko Chen. He looks at him fearlessly and says in a provocative tone, "Ko Chen, remember it is you that want to divorce Fei."
