When Love Beckons Twice

"How is she?" Wu Zhang asked with urgency clearly evident in his voice .

"She is fine . The blood trail was because she has gotten her periods and she collapsed due to fatigue and exhaustion . I will get the nurses to clean and s.h.i.+ft her into another ward . She just needs to rest . " The doctor said with a faint smile .

She was quite surprised to see Wu Zhang panicking so much over the health of the women inside . She hadn"t recognized Song Jia, but she must be living under a rock to not have recognized Wu Zhang .

And as much as she had heard about Wu Zhang, she knew he was an aloof man with a cold heart . Seeing him fret so much over the health of Song Jia, she didn"t need to be told that it was a matter of love .

"Can I see her?"

The doctor saw the worry in his eyes and couldn"t say no . "Yes sure . "

Wu Zhang pushed the door to the room open and went inside while Wei Xin chose to stay outside and let Wu Zhang have some time with Song Jia alone .

Wu Zhang"s entered the room and saw her lying on the bed with an IV Drip attached to the back of her palm . He sat on a chair that was placed beside her bed and took her free hand in his .

He kissed the back of her palm and then looked at her face . She was sleeping peacefully and looked serene . With his free hand, he gently caressed her crown before whispering slowly, "Jia, I love you . I don"t know how I fell in love with you but now you are the chapter of my life that can never be closed because from now our story will continue further together . I promise to take care of you and love you till my last breath . Just get well soon and I will make sure you never have to worry about anything else ever again . "

A silent knock occurred on the door and Wu Zhang turned his head to see a nurse standing near it . "I have come to change the patient"s clothes and s.h.i.+ft her to a private ward . "

Wu Zhang placed another kiss on the tip of her fingers before carefully placing it back and leaving the room .

He went outside and saw Wei Xin talking to an elderly man . It didn"t take him long to realize that he was Song Guang, Song Jia"s grandfather . He was sitting on the couch while Wei Xin stood next to him, explaining him the situation .

"Where is my granddaughter?" He asked thumping his walking stick against the floor .

"She is being transferred to a private ward . " Wu Zhang answered his question .

Song Guang"s aged eyes turned to the direction of the voice and he immediately recognized the owner . Wu Zhang walked up to them and bowed to him in respect before sitting on the armchair placed opposite to the couch .

"How is my granddaughter?"

"She is fine, just needs some rest . " Wu Zhang"s expression was stoic .

Song Guang was usually a very stern man with very less or no visible expression on his face at all, but today he had lost his calm . His wrinkled face that was usually expressionless had a very nervous look plastered on it, which refused to go .

He was equally worried about his granddaughter"s mental state as much as he was worried about his son who was stabbed in the stomach by his own wife .

His granddaughter had always been very dear to him and he loved her a lot . Seeing his son and granddaughter in such state was too much for his old heart to bear . In the eyes of Wu Zhang he looked old and weak today, unlike the last time when he met him at Wave Manor where he looked tall and proud .

"How long will the surgery go on for?"

"Another hour or so . His condition was critical when we brought him here . " Wu Zhang answered offering him a cup of water that Wei Xin had brought for them .
