743 Fangirl (1/2)

”Dylan, come to the hospital!” she hurriedly said.

”Why?” he questioned. ”Didn't you go to check up on Dazi and Xiu? Why are you calling me there? I told you I can't face them right now.”

”Dylan!” she shouted. ”Stop questioning me right now. And get here! Or you'll regret it!”

Dylan heard the tremble in her sharp voice and was alarmed, ”What happened? What's going on?” Feeling anxious, he asked, ”How is Dazi? Or is it Xiu?”

”It's both!” she replied. ”Come here and I'll tell you everything.”

”No, you first tell me what's going on? I won't even be able to drive if you didn't tell me anything?”

Cali sighed heavily, ”There had been an attack on Regi and Xiu.”

”What?!” she heard something breaking from his side.

”What was that? Did you hurt yourself?” she questioned.

”No, I'm fine,” he replied as he stood with the spilled hot coffee underneath his feet. The broken shards of the cup had left a few cuts but he couldn't feel anything right now. Everything was spinning around. He had to take the support of the kitchen counter to stand, ”Are they okay? Or...” He couldn't even bring himself to continue as his throat felt choked up.

”They both had surgeries and their lives are out of danger. However, they both are unconscious.” Cali tried to speak in a calm voice. ”I think you should come. Okay?”

”I'll... I'll be right there,” he stammered out before he stepped on the broken shard and ran off towards his room to get dressed. All the way, his blood had left an imprint on the floor.

Meanwhile, Cali clutched her phone in her hand tightly until her knuckles turned white. She was feeling really conflicted. And she knew Dylan would be in even more pain. After all, the one actually responsible for Darren's condition was definitely his sister Meihui. Although it had nothing to do with him, however, he couldn't separate himself from this sin.

But she couldn't hide something like this from him as well. With how much Darren mattered to Dylan, there was no way she would hide something so big from him.

Xin Xiaoli was sitting with his head in his hands when someone patted his head and he heard a familiar voice, ”Yo, Mr. Xin, what are you doing here?”

He looked up at Dr. Ling who smiled at him. Unlike when she came out of surgery and looked exhausted, now she seemed very energetic and cheerful.

”Dr. Ling, if you have time to hang around, why don't you keep an eye on the patient I left in your care?”

She made a face at him, ”What's with that stern look? And don't call me Dr. Ling anymore. I'm tired of addressing you as Mr. Xin. It sounds weird.” Seeing how he looked really disheartened, she questioned, ”What's your relationship with the patient?”
