195 Firing Back - Part 1 (1/2)
Wednesday, continued …
Hou Yi, had drifted off to sleep, sitting in the chair beside Anna, who slowly started to wake up.She opened her eyes and realised that she was in a hospital bed.She wondered how she had gotten here and remembered Inspector Gang, for want of a better term kicking the sh*t out of her.Anna could not feel much and realised that she had a drip in her arm.
Anna determined it was likely that she was receiving pain killers through the drip.As she tried to sit up more, without disturbing Hou Yi and realised that she was unable to move her left leg. She looked down and found that the blankets on the bed were raised over her left leg, so she carefully lifted the bedcoverings and realised that there was a cast on her leg.
Anna quickly thought, OK, as a result of being kicked, I have a broken leg, and given I cannot recall much, I must have a concussion, so I was taken to hospital.However how long have I been here?
Anna's movement, however disturbed Hou Yi, and he woke up.Once he realised Anna was awake, he reached up with his other hand, and placed his hand on her cheek.Rather than immediately turning to look at Hou Yi, Anna simply slightly moved her head back and forth for a few seconds.
For Anna this was a simple comfort in that the man that she realised she was deeply falling in love with was beside her.She knew that this would make her strong in dealing with the weeks ahead.Anna said to herself, I cannot tell him how I feel.I do not want to risk another rejection.This time, Anna knew any rejection would hurt her so much more than how she felt when Lu Jinhu dumper her at the altar.
To Hou Yi, Anna's actions not only provide comfort, but more importantly reassured him that things would be OK.He felt empowered as the woman he loved was willing to give such a small gesture that gave him so much pleasure and comfort.
Hou Yi knew before she turned her face to look at him, he had to hide his emotions because he knew if Anna rejected him, it would be heartbreak for him, and there would be no hope that his dreams would come true.Plus, he did not want to pressure her in relation to she did not want.
As Anna started to turn her head to Hou Yi, her mobile started to ring, so Hou Yi went into her handbag.Before he handed her the phone it stopped ringing.Anna opened it up and called back the number which she did not recognise, so she decided to call it back.
At the same time, Hou Yi's mobile started to vibrate, so he moved away and answered the mobile.
As Hou Yi answered ”Sir …”
”What is it, Assistant Wang?”
”Sorry to disturb you, Lu Jinhu and his father have given statements at a press conference at Lu Corporation Headquarters.To cut a long story short. They have blamed Madam Hou for everything that has occurred, claimed you and Madam Hou are not validly married, and threatened to sue Madam Hou.”
