Chapter 50 - You hugged Mr Li? (1/2)
Muchen opened his eyes to an unfamiliar environment. He knew immediately that he was in a hospital. He tried getting up, but was too weak to,so he just lied back down on the bed.
”You're awake! I will get the doctor” Ms Long said as she stood up from the couch beside his bed.
”What time is it?” He asked with a dry voice.
”It's 7 in the morning” She said after checking the wall clock behind her.
”What about Sara?” He asked.
Ms Long's countenance changed when she heard his question. Why did he have to ask about her first before asking about his own health?
”Why aren't you answering?” He turned his head to look at her direction when he noticed she was still quiet.
”I sent her home last night” she replied dryly.
”Is something wrong?” Muchen asked when he noticed her unusual look.
”No sir. I will get the doctor now.” she said and left the room.
Throughout the night, Muchen kept having repeated dreams about Sara. From the very first moment he saw her till now. Everything about her remained a mystery to him. He wanted to know more. Why she acted this way, why she didn't care about anything or how people thought about her. He had never even seen her look sad except the first night after she caught her friend and boyfriend together. Didn't she care?
He helped himself sit up on the bed and took his phone that was placed beside him. He looked at Sara's number which he had never dialled before and dialled it. He just wanted to hear her voice and know how she was doing. But the call was automatically redirected. Then her remembered that her phone was ruined the previous night.
Ms Long entered the room with a middle aged doctor and two other younger doctors.
Muchen recognized the middle aged doctor as Ms Long's father and greeted him accordingly.
After exchanging pleasantries, they went straight to business.

Sundays was one of Sara's free days. She remained in her room, browsing through her laptop. Joreen had gone to the neighbour's place to hang out with their daughter. It was just Sara and Jianjun at home.
