Chapter 441 - Promise (1/2)

Once Luo Han and Ye Tian's conditions were somewhat stabilized, everyone was moved to the nearest hospital.

At the hospital, while Luo Han and Ye Tian were being operated on, Callum and Ghost were sitting inside a room with Mr. Ye and Lin. Contrary to what he thought earlier, Callum only had a line fracture. His ribs and his back still hurt, but it was not that bad to the point that he could not handle it.

Of course, the doctor who did a check on him advised him to rest but Callum refused. It was the first time his "wife" had seen his mother after so many years, and after he accepted her death, so Callum wanted to be there with Ghost. He knew that Ghost was not really fine at the moment and even though he did not know what to say to Ghost, Callum just wanted to be there for him.

As for DX, he was outside the room talking to his wife over the phone. When they were on the way to the hospital, he told her that he would give her a call and the moment Luo Han and Ye Tian was pushed into the operating theatres, DX did as what he promised earlier.

Meanwhile, inside one of the hospital's smaller meeting rooms, four people were sitting at the couch and each of them had a different expression on. Ghost's face had concern written on it. Callum's face was blank. Lin's face was showing a mixture of both fear and confusion. As for Mr. Ye, he had been frowning since the very start.

Understandable.

After all, his son was currently in a critical condition, but he had to be here for Lin as well. He could not do anything for his son, but he could help Lin reunite with her family.

As for Lin, she was still very afraid of Callum and Ghost, and she kept holding onto Mr. Ye's hand as if she was afraid he would leave her here alone with these "strangers". Even on the journey to the hospital, she did not want to sit with Ghost despite the latter's request.

And Ghost refused to allow her out of his sight. He was afraid that she would disappear again if he allowed her to leave in Mr. Ye's car.

In the end, Lin had only agreed to sit in the same car as Callum and Ghost after Mr. Ye said that he would be sitting with her.

Obviously, her lack of trust in him caused great sorrow to Ghost who had never expected such a reunion. He wanted to hug her and to touch her. He wanted to make sure that she was real and not a figment of his imagination… But he could not. At the moment, he could hold himself back.

"Mama…" thought Ghost as he stared at the mother he thought he had lost. Other than the fear in her eyes and the wrinkles on the corner of her eyes and her forehead, she looked like the mother he remembered.

It saddened him to know that she could not recognize him. Mr. Ye was explaining Lin's condition to Ghost, but Ghost could barely pay any attention to him.

Ghost just wanted to take his mother and hide her away but when he felt someone patting on his thigh, he turned and saw Callum giving him a soft smile.

"She's alive… That's all that matters now…" whispered Callum. He did not like to see such a sad expression on Ghost's face. He liked to see his "wife" in either happy, angry, or s*xually frustrated mood… but not sad. If it helped, he would have allowed Ghost to hit him all over again until he felt better.

Well, he offered earlier, but Ghost ignored him.

Callum looked at Ghost's face with a worried expression when he realized that the latter had not said anything.

It was only after a long silence that Ghost nodded.

"He's right… That's all the matters now…" thought Ghost as he stared at his mother. As long as she was alive, he was sure that she would remember him one day.

As for Lin, she was so uncomfortable with the grey-haired man who kept staring at her that she kept her head down the whole time. In addition, whenever she looked at the grey-haired man, she kept seeing images of a boy crying and it caused her heart to ache uncomfortably.

She did not know why but seeing the grey-haired man gave her a nostalgic feeling.

"I want to go home…" Lin whispered to Mr. Ye. She usually did not like to touch any man, but she was scared now and Mr. Ye was the only one she knew. If anything, he had never hurt her in any way.

Mr. Ye gently patted her hand as he whispered back, "We'll go back soon…"

"Mama, do you really not recognize me?" asked Ghost as he stared at his mother.

Lin shook her head furiously as she buried her face in Mr. Ye's arms.
