While the six men were having a chat with Xi Yuan , the girl inside the cold hospital ward was going through a battle of her own. It was a dream. A memory. A terrifying one. The one where she was merely four years old. She was holding her twin sister"s hand. Tightly. They were in an amus.e.m.e.nt park. Zhi Bo and Zhi Al had brought them there. 

She remembered that there was an accident. They were in a cabin on a ferris wheel. Something had gone wrong with it. Something about the giant wheel"s centre support. Only kids her age were there. A girl in the cabin beside that of hers and Rong Xiao"s , was crying hysterically. The girl was scared. Every kid was. Rong Xinghe wasn"t. She was vigilantly searching for her brothers through the crowd of people on the ground below them. She knew they would come and save her and Rong Xiao. They always did. Her six knights in s.h.i.+ning armours.

But it was then that she had seen a man climb up. Police was trying to stop him. But he wouldn"t stop , no matter what. He was not used to occasions such as those. His grip wasn"t that strong. He was falling again and again. Losing his balance. But he kept on climbing till he reached the top of the wheel.

"Dad !"

Rong Xinghe turned to look at the girl in the cabin left to hers. The one who was crying hysterically. She was crying and smiling at the same time , as she looked at the man clambering towards her. 

"I am here honey.", the man had smiled at the little girl , despite the troubles he was facing ,"Stay there."

"Xinghe , is that how a father is ?", Rong Xiao had asked her back then. 

She"d simply patted her twin"s head with a shrug. She didn"t had any idea as well. She didn"t knew anything about parental love. But maybe that was how it was. Having a father. Someone who would s.h.i.+eld you , protect you unconditionally. Someone , for whom , your safety and well-being mattered more than anything. 

She remembered how that man had carried his little girl down the ride after tying her to his back by a scarf. She saw the man carrying his daughter to his wife. She remembered how the mother had covered the girl"s entire face with her kisses and how she had hugged the girl tightly. 

BAM !

A sudden jolt in the ferris wheel , she remembered. And with that , the girl"s eyes flew wide open , her both hands clutching onto the the blanket covering her tightly. Then , a wrenching , throbbing , sharp sensation rushed across her brain , forcing her to shut her eyes back again. She started finding it difficult to breath , even though her face was covered up with an oxygen mask. With her eyes closed and brows furrowed , the girl"s hands started to tremble as her toes turned cold gradually.

Naturally , the nurse taking care of the girl noticed it and quickly checked the IV drip and the medication dosage provided to the girl. She then ran out of the ward hastily , calling out for the doctors working upon the girl. 


"What is going on ?", Su Rogguang asked as he rushed inside the hospital ward , Xi Yuan , Xi Fang and the other five men following behind him. 

"Mili...Military Chief seems to be facing some complications , Sir.", the nurse managed to speak , her voice shaky.

"Get me a Sumatriptan. Quick !", Su Rogguang shouted as he checked the girl"s pulse.

"Sir... Won"t that be too strong ?", the young woman hesitated. 

"She has gone through a Migraine stroke not too long ago. Its the only chemical that can suit her immunity now. It would be an honour if you wouldn"t question my medical skills at such a crucial time. Get the d.a.m.ned injection to me ! RIGHT NOW !", Su Rogguang yelled furiously this time. 

"Al... alright sir.", the nurse nodded , terrified by the man"s tone.

Soon , Rong Xinghe"s situation was stabilised and she was declared out of danger by the team of doctors diagnosing her condition. The girl was conscious , her face giving away no expression as she stared at the roof of the ward blankly. No matter what Xi Fang or Zhi Al said to her , not a word came out of her mouth. 

Xi Yuan stood beside Lu Wei and Zhi Xi , taking in the slightest bit of movements she made. Silently , he observed the girl"s fists clenching , her toes curling in , beads of sweat dripping down her forehead , the corners of her eyes glistening with tears. He knew that she was still trying to digest what had happened. To be honest , that was totally normal. She was an orphan , ever since she was 7.

Something she never imagined would happen to her , was actually happening now. It was only normal for her to be in a state of shock. Sigh ! His woman was really suffering a lot. 

He then glanced at the hospital staff surrounding his woman"s bed ,"Get out.", the man said calmly as he approached Rong Xinghe"s bed. 

"Let them do their work , Yuan.", Mo Zhixuan frowned.

"They are making her uncomfortable , bro Mo.", Xi Yuan looked at the man ,"She wants to be alone with her brothers. She only wants her family. Its better for the outsiders to leave."

The six men fixed their gazes upon the girl , noticing the tears in her eyes. At that time , they felt as if they were being stabbed by some dagger , straight into their heart. After all , they knew that they were the reason behind her misery , her distress. Although unknowingly , but they had brought those tears in her eyes. 

After the hospital staff left the private ward , Xi Yuan lifted his head up to look at Xi Fang and gestured him to leave as well. The man then picked up his coat and turned to face the door of the room. 

At this time , a pair of two weak soft hands wrapped around Xi Yuan"s right hand tightly.

"And you."

"Huh ?", the man turned to face the girl.

"I want you. Please ?"
