When Love Beckons Twice

Wu Zhang saw her crying and felt a pang of ache in his heart . He scooted closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders to only pull her closer to him .

Song Jia felt his touch and immediately buried her face in his chest, her sobs getting even louder . "Wu Zhang my father . . . "

"He will be alright Jia, he will be alright . But you are not allowed to lose your hopes like this . " He gently rubbed her back as he tried to soothe her . "It had been a tough day for you, please rest for a while . "

"It"s all my fault . I . . . he is there because of me . " Her cries showed no signs of stopping .

"It isn"t your fault love . It was something inevitable, so don"t blame yourself for it . " He hugged her tighter .

"He will be fine, won"t he?"

"Yes, he will be but for that, you will also need to be fit enough to take care of him . "

"I can"t sleep until I know he is fine . " Song Jia shook her head, too stubborn to sleep . Her tears were ruining Wu Zhang"s neatly ironed expensive suit but he didn"t mind it one bit . He had neither done it in the past nor will he do it now .

His gently pressed his lips against her crown before supporting his chin on her head, without putting any pressure .

His hands continued rubbing her back in a rhythmic motion and she snuggled closer to him, trying to seek comfort in his embrace .

He was her comfort zone, just like home . His warmth always warmed her heart and somehow magically soothed her emotions too that threatened to turn into a turmoil . In his embrace, her sobs slowly died down which was a relief .

Very soon Wei Xin came running towards their direction with the sound of her high heels clicking with every urgent step that she took .

Song Jia was too engrossed in her own emotions to even register her presence but Wu Zhang noticed her arrival clearly . As soon as she came close to them, she bowed respectfully to Wu Zhang .

"Bring her a cup of warm water . " He ordered her .

Wei Xin read his lips and nodded before heading to the water dispenser nearby . She came back with lukewarm water and handed the cup to Wu Zhang .

Wu Zhang gently nudged Song Jia . "Drink some water, Jia . "

He was surprised to receive no response from her . To check, he pulled her back to only realize that her eyes were closed .

If one didn"t know well, they would have thought that she had fallen asleep, but Wu Zhang knew she had not as she was a very light sleeper who would wake even with the slightest of movements so there was no chance of her not waking up when he nudged her .

He took his thumb to her lower lip and pulled it down to see her teeth clenched together very tightly against each other . His suspicion was right . She had lost her consciousness .

Wu Zhang immediately panicked and placed the cup on a nearby table . He immediately ordered Wei Xin again . "Go and find a doctor, she has fainted . "

Wei Xin didn"t even wait for him to finish his sentence and ran to look for a nurse .

Meanwhile Wu Zhang took his hand to her cheek and patted it gently . "Jia wake up—"

He paused when he noticed a thin trail of blood formed on her thigh . Her clothes had a few patches of Song Chen"s blood but that shouldn"t form a trail on her thigh .

Without waiting for the doctors to come, he picked her up in his arms and rushed to look for a doctor himself .

On his way he met Wei Xin and a female doctor that was following after her . "Look at her, she is bleeding . I think she is hurt somewhere . "

"Please come this way . " The doctor pointed to an examination room that was nearby and Wu Zhang followed her .

Wu Zhang placed Song Jia on the examination bed and came out with Wei Xin following behind .

The doctor was taking her time to examine Song Jia inside, but with every pa.s.sing minute, Wu Zhang grew even more restless .

He paced back and forth in the hall without stopping for even once until the door to the examination room opened .
