Chapter 189 - Disappointment (1/2)

When they reached the hospital, they saw Liam waiting for them at the entrance. His shirt was stained with something red—blood.

Lei Zhao stopped in his tracks and his face paled. His fears really came true.

Yan Mei took his hands and interlaced their fingers together. She squeezed it tightly and gave him a reassuring smile.

They walked towards Liam who had his head lowered.

”Liam….” Yan Mei called him softly.

Liam looked up at them.

”Mr. Lei, Miss…”

Because Liam didn't know the relationship between Yan Mei and Lei Zhao he didn't know how to address Yan Mei.

”How is Ying Sheng?” Yan Mei asked without commenting on the title.

Liam avoided Lei Zhao's gaze as guilt swarmed through him.

”I'm sorry…..I-I”

”What do you mean by sorry?!” Lei Zhao snapped at him.

”I went to work and then I got a call….she….I told her...beg her...she….wanted to stop hurting..”

Liam stammered as he muttered incoherent words.

Lucas who just arrived at the entrance saw Liam talking to someone. He assumed it was Ying Sheng's family. He strolled towards them and saw his brother struggling to explain what happened.

”We were in the middle of a meeting when Liam got a call from Miss Ying. I don't know what she said but my brother was panicking so I decided to drive him to the house. When we got there…..Miss Ying, she was lying in a pool of her own blood. She had cut her wrist.”

Lucas explained.

Lei Zhao looked at the man who looked exactly like Liam and felt the air leave his lungs.

”Is she….?” Lei Zhao couldn't even complete his question because of his fears.

”No, fortunately we arrived on time. But she is in a coma.”

Lei Zhao nodded and patted Liam's shoulder. He could see the young man was pretty shaken up. To witness a suicide scene was pretty traumatizing.

”Thank you, Liam.” Liam widened his eyes and looked up at Lei Zhao. He thought Lei Zhao would blame him for this..

”Don't blame yourself, Liam. I'm sure you did your best.”

Yan Mei added as she flashed him a smile.

”Thank you too.” Yan Mei said to Lucas.

Lucas nodded, ”It's okay after all she would be my sister-in….”

Lucas stopped himself and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

Yan Mei narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

”I want to see her.” Lei Zhao said. He wanted to confirm that she was really okay. How can she do this? No something must have happened for her to finally snap.

Liam led them to the VIP award where Ying Sheng was. Due to the blood loss, her skin was pale and her lips were blue.

Lei Zhao walked towards her and grabbed her hand. He caressed the back of Ying Sheng's hand and said nothing.

Yan Mei stood beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Lei Zhao sat beside Ying Sheng without saying anything. Silently comforting him.

”Did something happen?” Lei Zhao turned and asked Liam who was standing at the door.
