99 THE GREATEST MISTAKE (1/2)

Hu Lei had never thought about having a sibling. It had seemed impossible after her parents' less-than-amicable divorce. In addition, her father had not had any dalliances while they were on the road. As long as he had his medical projects, he would be content.

Still, she felt that it was truly sad. If this boy was Hu Ming's child, he had already lost his chance to know him. Her eyes stung a little at the thought of her father. She decided that she would get to know the boy for both of them. She did not hesitate before pushing the door to the media room open.

She looked back and saw the encouraging look on Zhong Feng's face. She nodded and stepped into the room. If she waited for too long to meet this potential sibling, she might have regrets. More importantly, she trusted Zhong Feng. If he thought that the boy was worth the efforts he had, without a doubt, invested in him, he had to be something special.

Naturally, she could not approach him and declare that she was his long-lost sister. That strategy would backfire because they did not know one another. She also did not want to be overly enthusiastic because there were no familial feelings at the moment.

Fortunately, Hu Lei was a person who could approach just about anyone to achieve her purposes. From national leaders to rebel members of the society, no one had been too difficult for her to handle. A young boy did not even need a special plan.

Hu Lei walked calmly into the media room and plopped down carelessly on one of the comfortable seats. It seemed that the Zhong family had splurged on everything in this hospital. She looked at the boy with a discerning eye. Her heart felt a little shaken.

Murong Fai was not the spitting image of Hu Ming. However, he was definitely his son. His face was delicate and small much like hers. This was a characteristic that they had inherited from their mother. However, from what she could see of his eyes, they were like Hu Ming's.

Not only was the shape of the eyes and general appearance similar. The orbs also seemed to sparkle as he watched the boring medical documentary on the TV. Hu Lei felt for a moment as if her father's spirit had been revived through this child.

”This is boring.” She spoke suddenly, startling the boy.

Murong Fai, who had been ignoring the newcomer, turned his face towards her. He looked at the woman in the room and tilted his head in confusion. He knew that he had never seen this person before in his life. However, he felt that she was incredibly familiar.

”Who are you?” He asked straightforwardly.

”I am a patient at the hospital like you.” Hu Lei said, folding her arms over her chest. ”I want to watch something interesting.”

”This documentary is very interesting.” The boy countered.

Murong Fai felt that this woman was very strange. He had never seen her in the long periods of time he had stayed in the hospital. Perhaps she came around when he was out of the place. However, he felt that it was unlikely because he had spent a lot of time in the hospital.

”It is just some people opening up heads. How can this compare to a nice idol drama?” Hu Lei challenged throwing a scornful look at the TV.

”Aren't you too old for idol dramas?” The boy asked.

The innocent boy who had never had a lot of interactions with people in his short life committed the greatest mistake one could before a woman. Hu Lei felt that this stab was especially too deep because her greatest years had been stolen from her.

Her yellow eyes blazed in fury, forming little glowing flames. This brat had gone too far. 'With my youthful body, I can obviously pass for a teenager.' She thought in annoyance.
