Chapter 101 - A Small Accident (1/2)

Meanwhile, after talking to Ye Jie on the phone call, Xu Mey realized how much she was actually missing him. She shook her head to deny her feelings. 'I'm not missing him. I'm just missing the sense of protection he brings with himself.' She thought to herself.

After tossing and turning for 2 hours when the sleep didn't seem possible, she suddenly realized that she was all alone in this house. There were darkness, coldness and a sense of being lonely. It reminded of her worst nightmare in life. Her fear of loneliness crawled up in her heart and started wreaking havoc.

She ran to the closet and clad herself into leather pants and a black jersey top with a brown leather jacket. She picked up her gloves and keys. She headed to the garage and put on her helmet before getting on her bike.

In the middle of the night, without any destination in mind, she drove away from home. The roads were mostly empty at this time of the night. She was driving aimlessly ignoring the surroundings. While her focus was lost, a small child suddenly appeared in front of her bike on the road.

Due to the high speed and a sudden shock of seeing the baby, Xu Mey had to swivel her bike to avoid hitting the small girl in her tutu. She lost control of the bike and fell down on the road.

She felt pain in her muscles but didn't think much about it. She looked at her bike and realized that it had a few scratches and some dents on its beautiful sleek body. Before she could aggrieve about her loss, she heard the girl crying and a man's voice. "Baby Princess, why did you leave daddy's hand?" The man ran from the side of the road towards the scared little girl and held her in his arms.

"Are you okay, baby? Are you hurt anywhere?" He was asking while touching his daughter to see whether she hurt herself anywhere or not. "Don't leave daddy's hand ever again, daddy's princess." The man chided his girl lightly while patting her lovingly. He looked anxious, worried and completely lost.

While she was observing a father's love and concern for his daughter, she didn't realize that a tall figure had walked up beside her. He crouched down and looked at her bleeding ankle and dazed expression. "Are you okay, Xu Mey?" The familiar voice made her raise her head to see a very familiar looking face.

"Is it true that daughters are always their fathers' princesses, doc?" Dr. Zhu looked at her tenderly and stroked her hair.

"It's very true. Daughters are not just a child for a father. They are a part of them. A part of their heart and soul. A daughter always stays as a father's pride." He said with a sad smile. "Get up, you're hurt."

Xu Mey's daze broke and she looked at her bleeding ankle. "It's no big deal, doc. But my bike is hurt." She made a crying face.
