”How is Xiu?”

”Is she awake?”

”Can we see her?”

”She's okay, right?”

The doctor stared at every one of them and calmed them down saying, ”The patient is stable now. She is resting. So, you can't see her.”

”This won't do. We have to at least see her,” said Xiao Li sternly.

”For once, my son is right.” Their gazes shifted towards Xin Zimen who came from behind and went on, ”We have to see for ourselves if she is fine.”

The doctor narrowed her eyes at Xin Zimen and seemed to flare up, ”You came with her yesterday.” Xin Zimen nodded his head. ”I clearly gave you instructions that she needs extra attention in this condition because of her mental state. Why do people not care about the doctor's words these days? I can understand that she is young and can be willful but you're clearly older than her. It's your responsibility to take care of her and guide her properly.”

For a long time, no one dared to speak as they watched a doctor admonishing Xin Zimen right in the middle of the hospital corridor and the latter was even listening with his head lowered. This was one sight one wouldn't see every day.

”It's really my fault. When she said she was feeling down, I should have forcefully sent her home. I just didn't think things would escalate in this direction,” said Xin Zimen in a soft voice completely lacking his intimidating aura or stern tone. ”I shouldn't be blaming her for being stubborn. It's my own weakness that I couldn't force her. But rest assured, I won't let this happen ever again.”

”Mr. Xin, you better make sure this doesn't happen again because the next time, you'd only be left with regret!”

Xin Zimen closed his eyes and took a deep breath before asking, ”Yes. I understand. Now, can you please let me see her?”

The doctor's lips parted to say something but right at this moment, Darren opened the door and called out, ”Doctor! She's awake.” The doctor didn't bother saying anything and walked directly inside the room. Darren looked at the people outside the door and as if he just realized they had been here all along said, ”You all should go home now. She is fine. She's awake as well, just needs rest.”

Seeing how his body swayed, Xiao Li supported him once again and said, ”You better sit down... No, it's better if you lie down and let the doctors do their job.”

”I'm fine,” replied Darren.

Clearly, no one believed his words. ”Look, Regan! Your life is directly related to my sister's happiness. So, you better get your act together and let the doctors complete their treatment. Trust me, if my sister's condition worsened because of you, I'm gonna be really pissed.”

”Regi!”
