-Lei Zhao

Suddenly, Yan Mei felt someone planting a kiss on he forehead. Yan Mei opened her eyes and saw a pair of warm eye staring back at her.

”Wifey,..you finally woke up.”

Yan Mei's eyes trailed at the person's face. his handsome face was bruised and his lips were pale.

Yan Mei's finger inched up to his forehead where a gauze had been wrapped around his head.

Yan Mei blinked as she stared at without uttering a sound.

'I'm I hallucinating again?' Yan Mei asked herself as she looked quietly at the man in front of her. Her fingers trembled as she trailed his face, his lips and his jaw.

She cupped his cheeks in her hand.

Lei Zhao flashed her a smile and grabbed Yan Mei's hand. He pressed his lips against her palm.

”I missed you, Wifey.” Lei Zhao whispered as he he gazed into her eyes. He held her hand that was on his face tightly and brought it to his beating heart.

Hearing the rhythm of his beating heart; Yan Mei finally woke up from her stupor.

”L-Lei Zhao?” Her voice was faint but still, Lei Zhao heard it.

Yan Mei's eyes searched his for anything that would give it way that all of this is an illusion; a beautiful illusion.

But all she saw in his brown eyes was love and affection.

”Wifey….,” Lei Zhao breathed out.

Hearing his voice and the endearment, Yan Mei's heart started beating fast in her chest.

”Are.. we.. in hell?” Yan Mei asked.

Lei Zhao's smile froze a second before he busted out into laughter.

”Pft..ha….hahah. Hell?”. Yan Mei arched her brows.

”Are we not?” Yan Mei asked.

Lei Zhao's held her forehead to check if she had a fever but surprisingly she didn't.

”Why would you think we are in hell?” Lei Zhao asked.

Yan Mei frowned and looked at her surroundings. She was lying on a white bed and an IV drip beside her.

Due to the decorations in the room, she knew she was not in a hospital or hell.

”L-Lei Zhao.” Yan Mei called him once again.

”Wifey...are you okay?” Lei Zhao asked with concern laced in his tone when he realized she was just staring at him in a daze.

”Aren't you dead? How are you still alive? I'm I going crazy? I'm I dreaming still; dreaming about my happily ever after? How long have I been out?”

Yan Mei rambled on as tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her devasted look, Lei Zhao felt a huge block in his heart. He cupped her face in his hands and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

”You're not hallucinating, Wifey. I'm really here.”

Hearing his voice, Yan Mei sat up abruptly upright. She threw her hand forward as hard as possible, whipping it across Lei Zhao's face.

”....”

Dead silence filled the room at once.. Yan Mei stared at her palm. She could feel the painful sensation and looked up at Lei Zhao who was staring at her with a horrid look.

The burning sensation in her hand made her feel everything is real.

Lei Zhao started at her with his eyes wide open as his hands slowly made it's way to his cheeks.

”Wifey...I thought you would be happy to see that I'm alive. Is this how you greet your husband who has escaped death's den?” Yan Mei narrowed her eyes at him.

”I'm really not dreaming or hallucinating?” Yan Mei mumbled to herself.

”Gosh, you're even scary than your father.”

Yan Mei jolted up her head and looked up at him..

”You met my father?”

Suddenly, Yan Mei looked at the entrance of the room and saw her father leaning on the door with his arms folded across his chest.

Seeing her daughter look at him, Zheng Ren smiled softly at her and nodded gently before he left the room for the couple.

Yan Mei knew her father had really confirmed that Lei Zhao was alive.

”Oh my! You're alive!” Yan Mei said aloud, almost unable to believe that he was really alive. Lei Zhao was alive and was right in front of her.

”You're really alive Lei Zhao! Oh my. I thought you won't be able to ever wake up and I was going to be left alone again. I was afraid that my bad omen finally got to-”

Lei Zhao pulled her in his arms, cutting her off. He hugged her tightly as if to engulf her body into his.

Yan Mei could feel the strong pulse of his heart as it beat against her own.Lei Zhao placed his lips on top of her head and muttered thickly in her hair.

”Wifey..you have suffered alot, sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't take care of myself making you worried.” Lei Zhao mumbled.

”I missed you so much.” Yan Mei whispered.

”I missed you too. I thought I would never see your beautiful face again or be able to hold you in my arms. I was so scared and broke.”

Lei Zhao mumbled.
