Chapter 289 - Where are you? (2/2)
Lena looked at Erik. 'Something is missing .... no someone... Where are you, Kris ?'
Erik stood up from the chair and walked closer to Lena. ”Hey... Are you---”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lena suddenly fainted. Erik grabbed her hand and pulled her body to him, catching her fall.
”Hey!” Erik called out and told someone to call for an ambulance. ”Shen Qian... hey, don't die in my office.”

Lena felt her eyes heavy... she was on something soft... but she could not tell if it was a bed or sofa, she was scared to open her eyes. She kept her eyes closed, however, she could hear the doctor talking.
”She's alright... just a very bad flu. Her temperature was very high but we have lowered it down. She should stay here for a few days.”
'.....' Lena opened her eyes, and what she feared was indeed correct. She was still here... where she originally belongs. She once wished that she was back here...
Her eyes started getting teary.
”Are you in pain?” Han Liu walked up to Lena and held her hand. ”Doc, why is crying? Is she in pain?”
”I--- Miss. Shen, are you experiencing any pain?”
Lena jerked Han Liu's hand away from her. She turned to her side and covered herself with the blanket. She closed her eyes again, hoping that the third time would be the charm.
However, no matter how many times she woke up, she was still here. Her father ran high a few times and she stayed longer in the hospital. Han Liu always came and visited her after work, bringing her something warm to eat.
”Senior Han?”
”Hmmm?” He was cutting her some fruits.
”Thanks.... but I think you should stop coming to visit me.” Lena spoke.
”Why? Are you thinking that you are a bother? Don't think that.” He smiled at her. ”You're sick, you're parents are far and they have told me to take good care of you.”
”No... that's not it. About your confession, I can't accept it.” Lena replied.
Han Liu put down the small knife he was using to cut the fruit and looked at Lena. He didn't speak back to her immediately... he was trying to read her face. ”It's fine. I'll just keep asking you until you say yes.”
”Then I'll keep saying no.”
”....” Han Liu thought that Shen Qian really had feelings for him... why does she look different now? ”Why...?
”I am sorry. But there is someone I already have my heart settled on.”
”Does he love you too?” He asked.
”Yes.”
”Where is he now that you are here? The nurses told me no one had visited you except your co-workers.”
”It's complicated,” Lena replied.
”Right.... well, I will still come to visit you every day after work. I promised you, parents, already.” Han Liu finished cutting the fruit and placed it on the hospital bed table. ”Eat this then get some rest.”
He walked out of the room and closed the door. Han Liu looked at Lena through the small window of the door. 'Maybe she is just feeling down due to her fever....' He sighed and then walked away
