Chapter 43 - Uncertain & Stressful (2/2)

"You have to be odd to be at the top." Xu Mey replied with a straight face. Dr. Zhu was amused just listening to her. "Dr. Seuss once said: 'You have to be odd to be number one.'"

Dr. Zhu's gaze held admiration for her. She's not that old but she seems strong. 'A person with an easy past can never be strong.' She must have been through her personal hell to turn into the person she is today. But she's really ignorant about love.

"Let me teach you some breathing techniques. It'll help you a lot." He couldn't just tell her about why her heart was skipping a beat around her husband. It was something she needed to discover herself.

Even if he told her, she won't understand it at all. Love can't be explained in words. It can only be felt and that too with your heart.

He taught her some breathing techniques which she picked up very smoothly. "Try drinking Hibiscus Tea or Lemongrass Tea. It'll help you a lot." He offered his expert suggestion.

"Thanks, doctor. But are you sure, that I don't have an arrhythmia?" She was still suspicious.

"Yes, I'm sure." He replied with a faint smile.

"How sure are you?"

"Very sure."

"How sure is very sure?"

He didn't get angry at all. "100%"

Xu Mey nodded. "Oh well, I can only trust you. Okay then. I'll be leaving now. Thanks once again, doctor." She closed the door behind her politely.

"What an interesting young lady." Dr. Zhu chuckled thinking about Xu Mey.

With a sullen face, Xu Mey walked out of the hospital. She was supposed to be happy about being healthy but she was gloomy instead.

The reason was very simple. If it had been an arrhythmia, her confused mind would have been at ease. But now the confusion was back with a loud bang.

She was getting on her motorbike when her cellphone rang. She pulled the phone out of her jacket. It was Li Qiao's call.

"Hi, Qiao!" Her voice was dull and Li Qiao could feel it.

"Mey-Mey, are you alright?" He asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.

Li Qiao heard an ambulance siren from her side and his heart started beating like a drum as he abruptly stood up from his revolving chair. "Where are you?"

"Me? I'm at the hospital." Her short sentence fell like lightning on Li Qiao as the coffee mug in his hand fell down breaking into tiny pieces.
