Chapter 135 - Life Is Unfair (1/2)

While hugging him, Xu Mey thought to herself. 'Now, more than being alone and needle pricks, I'm even more scared to lose you.'

It's weird how someone invades into your life and heart one day and alters your belief... makes you question your own feelings. And they give you a sense that they love you fiercely and so completely that even if one day they left, you won't be able to survive and you won't be to forget them as well. They make you believe not only in themselves but also in your own self.

K. Towne Jr. once said, 'Sometimes a heart must be broken to slip through the bars of its cage.' For Ye Jie, it wasn't much different as well. How his heart was broken didn't matter anymore. What mattered was simple; it gave him a way to escape from his own comfortable love that he was used to. And escaping from that cage made him stumble upon the girl in his arms who wasn't just invading his heart anymore. She had become a part of him. An essential part he couldn't live without anymore.

When Xu Mey let him go, she saw Alice and Zhu Qinyang looking at her with a smile. She wanted to bury herself in the ground at that moment.

"Woah! What's with this PDA?" Xu Mey heard Dr. Zhu Chen's voice and turned to see him also smiling at her.

"He's my husband. Can't I hug him?" Xu Mey stubbornly replied making everyone chuckle.

"Of course you can. Just like I can hug my wife." Dr. Zhu Chen said as he moved closer to his wife who crossed her arms before her chest.

"Chen! Behave!" That's all Alice had to say and Dr. Zhu Chen straightened up.

It was Xu Mey's turn to chuckle. "Auntie Qin-Qin, you should leave now." She said.

"This early?"

"Don't you have to work today?" Zhu Qinyang sighed sadly and nodded.

She turned to Dr. Zhu Chen and Alice. "Uncle Chen, you can keep us company right?"

Dr. Zhu Chen smiled at her and replied, "Of course, I can!" All of a sudden, a thought invaded his mind making appear a bit sad. "Gosh! I wish our Azalea was here. She would have loved you." He commented making both Ye Jie and Xu Mey stiffen up.

"Azalea?" Xu Mey couldn't help asking.

"Azalea is our daughter. She's been traveling for more than a year now." Alice replied instead of Dr. Zhu Chen. "This girl really knows how to worry us to death. We haven't heard her voice or seen her all this time."

Ye Jie went blanched. He was completely lost. Alice' last statement made everything even more clear to him. His body was trembling terribly but he had to bit the inside of his mouth to keep his calm. Xu Mey turned to see him. He smiled with force. "I'll be back in a while baby." He said and left a kiss at the top of her head before leaving abruptly.

He drove faster than usual and arrived at the Star Emperor Hospital where Lin Shen had transferred Azalea 4 days ago. He walked into her room and sat beside her bedside. He held his head in his hands and took deep breaths. But when he couldn't stop his mind from running wild, he made a call.

Before anyone could speak, he said in a choked up voice, "Ru, why is life so unfair?"

"Unfair?" He didn't hear the voice from the phone but rather he heard it right behind him. He instantly turned to see. There she was in dark gray button-up shirt with black pant. Her red hair swept sideways and her green eyes staring back at him.
