Chapter 125 - Not breathing (2/2)
Yan Mei opened the door quickly and rushed inside the house. She knew it was Edward Wu he was talking about.
One guard saw a woman wearing a hospital gown running inside the mansion and frowned.
”Miss where are you going?” he blocked Yan Mei and asked.
Yan Mei ignored him and tried to bypass him, but the man blocked her again.
”Call Mr. Wu for me. Tell him Miss Yan is here.” Yan Mei said.
The guard looked at her warily, but he still ordered his men to call Mr. Wu. Looking at the thin body of the woman in the hospital gown, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

”What do you mean, she ran away from the hospital?!” Edward Wu bellowed in anger as he questioned Jun Mo.
”A car came to pick her up the moment she left the hospital, so I guess she is okay.” Jun Mo muttered.
Edward Wu heaved a sigh. Suddenly he heard footsteps.
He saw a guard running towards him.
”Sir, there is a Miss Yan at the entrance.” The guard said not noticing Edward Wu was on the phone.
Edward Wu stood up from the car, ”what did you say? Miss Yan is looking for me?”
The guard stepped back in fright, ”Y-Yes Sir...Should we send her away?”
”What time did she leave the hospital?” Edward Wu asked Jun Mo on the other side of the phone.
”Forty minutes ago.” Jun Mo replied looking at his watch.
”Then how did she get in New York in such a short time?” Edward Wu asked with a frown.
”She is there?!” Jun Mo asked, bewildered.
”Let me go and see.” Edward Wu rushed to the entrance and saw Yan Mei standing there in a hospital gown.
”Where is he?” Yan Mei asked the moment she saw Edward Wu.
”Is that sister-in-law?” Jun Mo asked.
”Yes.” Edward Wu said and hung up the call.
To say he was shocked was an understatement.
”Where is he?!” Yan Mei asked again, snapping him from his thoughts.
”Miss Yan? How did you get here?”
Edward Wu asked in shock.
”Tell me where he is. How I got here is not important.”
Yan Mei refuted clearly she was getting annoyed.
Edward Wu beckoned at the guard to let her go.
Yan Mei strode towards Edward Wu.
Edward Wu led her inside the mansion.
”The doctors are still operating on him. Sit down.”
Yan Mei ignored him and stared at the door where the doctors were.
Yan Mei felt her heart shattering with every second.
”I- I want to go in.” Yan Mei swallowed as she said.
Edward Wu frowned. He wanted to refuse, but one look from Yan Mei and he swallowed his words.
”I will arrange it.”
”Five minutes later, Yan Mei was ushered in the room.
Yan Mei paused in her tracks when she saw Lei Zhao's lifeless body lying on the bed surrounded by five doctors and three nurses. His skin was horrendously pale.
Suddenly one doctor shouted, causing Yan Mei's heart to fell in her stomach.
”We are losing him!”
Yan Mei staggered back.
”No-no- save him!” Yan Mei pleaded.
She didn't even realize when she was near Lei Zhao's lifeless body. Her fingers shaking as she stretched to touch his cheeks.
”Lei...Zhao..you have to wake up..please.” She whimpered.
”The poison is spreading to his heart. Hurry!”
Suddenly the monitors started beeping.
”Lei Zhao! Lei Zhao?” She screamed.
”Please…please don't leave me. I love you…I love you…”
Yan Me uttered hoping he would say it back, but only the bitter words of the doctor rang in her ears.
”He is not breathing!”
Just four words, but Yan Mei felt her entire world shattering around her. Yan Mei wanted to believe she was hallucinating.
”No-no save him. You have to or I will bury all of you with him!”
Yan Mei bellowed. She stared at the lifeless body and the light in her eyes was gone.
She had lost Lei Zhao. Her happy pill was no more.
Tears fell from her eyes as she pressed a kiss on his icy skin, his icy lips. The doctors just stared at her, no one dared to stop her.
Yan Mei knew the last bit of her sanity was gone. It had died with him.
