Chapter 13 - POOR WRIST (1/2)
Outside the room, a cheer was heard when the baby's cry sounded. The people who helped earlier stayed and waited instead of leaving.
The door was pushed and a paramedic entered. ”Where is the patient?”
The people looked at him incredulously for arriving late.
Five minutes later, the new mom was loaded inside the ambulance and Luo Jingyi thanked the vet before stared at the man. She'd seen him once in a banquet in the palace. Just a fleeting glance but she remembered well because the moment her eyes met his, she thought he was dangerous. His eyes reminded her of ruthless and coldblooded killers. In fear, she retracted her gaze and went to search for the 2nd Prince. Back then, she was a love-struck idiot that she only wanted to meet the man who gave her stomach butterflies so she didn't pay heed to what her brother said about this guy.
Even at present, looking at the glint at the corner of his eyes was sending her signals that this man was dangerous. Jingyi saw him gave a half-smile noticing that she was studying him intently. Awkwardness inundated her.
'What are you doing Jingyi? He was just a look-alike.'
Shaking her head, she reminded herself to stop overthinking and she turned away. However, a grip on her wrist stopped her.
”Wait, I want to ask you something.”
With much impatience showing in her eyes, she asked, ”What is it?”
”10 years ago, have you ever been to Sundance Mountain Lodge?”
'Why should I answer you?'
But she didn't know why. When she looked at his eyes, they were like sucking her into a whirlpool of something. She found herself shaking her head and answered, ”No.”
”Are you sure?”
”I'm certain.”
Something passed on his face before he let go of her wrist.
”Why was he asking me this?' She'd been to Sundance Mountain Lodge before. When she fled the morgue 8 years ago, Alice Lacroix brought her to this place to recuperate. But she's never going to tell a stranger about her.
A Jingyi shrugged her shoulders and turned away.
”Wait!” he called out seconds later.
”What?!”
”Could I call you?”
”Why?”
”I want to get to know you.”
Luo Jingyi scowled at him. ”Mister, you don't have any originality. That line has been recycled many times. Plus, I'm not interested in knowing you.”
Luo Jingyi spun around and walked away.
The man gave a lopsided grin and yelled. ”Yun Jinghan. That's my name.”
”It's not cliche!” He added seconds later.
Yun? Wait a minute... Yun Jian... Yun Jinghan... Is he related to Yun Shan, the VP of Yun Corporation?
There are only a few people surnamed Yun in the country. Something flashed her eyes but she quickly tucked it away and entered the vehicle. As soon as she was seated, her attention went to the baby and the mother, monitoring them closely.
Yun Jinghan watched the car disappear with the smile still plastered on his face.
”Young Master.” The man came out of nowhere and stood behind him.
”Phone.” When K2 handed the phone, he called his assistant.
”Amy, where are you?”
”I'm still at the studio boss, wrapping up the details with the store manager.”
”Good. Take the Aileen dress and deliver it to GM General Hospital. Give it to Dr. Luo.”
What?! Boss, are you crazy?
