Chapter 139 - President Xu, Mr. Jacob (1/2)

*Flashback To The Morning*

After dropping Xu Mey at Vintage, Ye Jie drove towards the hospital. As he entered the hospital room, he saw Azalea looking at Ru like she had met her Prince Charming.

Ru held Azalea's hand to massage her pressure points to ease up the stiffness in Azalea's muscles. Her mind was in better condition but her body was too weak and she couldn't talk without getting tired. Azalea stared at Ru's green eyes drooped to focus to her hand while Ru's perfect long lashes were making a shadow. "You're really handsome, Doctor," Azalea said in her sweet voice. Her voice didn't have the same hoarseness as yesterday.

Ru lifted her eyes and saw the look in Azalea's eyes. "First, don't call me a doctor. Second, stop with those dewy eyes. Your brother will murder me if he saw it."

"I already am seeing it." Ru stiffened a bit before leaving Azalea's hand and looking at Ye Jie.

"Hi, Jie! I'm not flirting at all." Ru tried to explain herself still using her deep voice like a male.

Ye Jie shook his head while clicking his tongue. "How can I believe the biggest flirt of the century?"

"Now, this is not fair with me. It's like you're blaming me for even breathing." Ru said with a scowl.

Ye Jie chuckled. "How's my sister?" He asked.

"See for yourself," Ru replied.

"I'm feeling much better, Jie Ge-Ge. My throat is not stinging and my muscles are not feeling stiff. Also, my mind is not fuzzy anymore." Azalea counted all the things with her smiling face.

Ye Jie walked closer to her and said, "That's very good." Then he looked at Ru. "But Zelie, you should stay away from this hypocrite here. This person can only break people. Fixing them is very rare for this one."

Ru smiled to herself. "Is he a flower boy who likes to break hearts?" Azalea asked like a curious little kid.

Ye Jie patted Azalea's head and replied, "No... Breaking heart is not his nature. This one likes to break people as a whole."

A pleasantly alluring laugh spread in the silent room. Ye Jie and Azalea both looked at Ru who had dropped her head back to laugh out loud. "Best friend, didn't I tell you that hearts are dangerous to play with? Hearts carry the burden of feelings and I really don't have the courage to play with that kind of burdens. Breaking people is a lot more fun." Ru's voice was still deep and lazy. Her face was smiling but it looked like hiding a storm behind it.

"And you, my best friend's precious sister," Ru turned to Azalea who was curiously peering at her. "Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't be scared of having a broken heart. Be scared of not having a heart at all. Because a broken heart can at least remind you that you're alive with pain. But an empty heart is just numb. It can't feel anything at all. Your brother is right, you should keep your distance from me because I fall into the second category; an empty heart one." With that, Ru left Azalea and Ye Jie alone in the room.

Azalea was deeply thinking about what Ru said and Ye Jie saw that. "Zelie, stop thinking." He said and made her look at himself. "You won't be able to comprehend that person's words this easily. Just think that he's crazy. Okay?"
