Chapter 6 - Please Wake Up! (1/2)

Xander Yang was watching the interview of the CEO of Life Hospitals Group on the television as he waited for Bernard's arrival together with his fiancee.

He was so excited to meet Deyna Song who had captured the very aloof heart of his cousin. Bernard was so loyal to his childhood love Arya Tan. It was an unrequited crush that he believed had lasted too long.

Bernard was like a brother to him. Like him, he had a rare disease, but Bernard's condition was more grave. The doctors called it hemophilia. Since childhood, Bernard was often kept behind closed doors to prevent him from getting injured.

He often visited him abroad where his Uncle tried all kinds of possible treatments to get Bernard healed. Xander was happy that he had returned home and found a woman, who Bernard mentioned, was a great doctor and was in the process of improving his condition.

Xander grinned mischievously because he was very excited to tease his cousin by asking his fiancee to help him treat his unexplainable disease too. He laughed out loud at the thought of Bernard's angry face.

Then he sniggered when he heard how Lyndon Chu answered numerous questions from the interviewer.

The Chus had totally taken over Life Hospitals Group after Old Master Han died. He had seriously fallen ill when his only family member - his granddaughter - was pronounced dead, after a decaying body, which was identified by authorities as Yera Han, was found in a nearby river where her kidnappers had presumably kept her.

He was not sure about the details of the investigation since it was not his place to meddle in others' affairs.

But it was such an unfortunate event, and he felt really sorry for the Han Family.

”Look at all those smiles,” he whispered irritably.

The Chu's were even trying hard to compete with him. They copied most of their hospital's programs from the programs that his hospital had implemented. So different from when the Han Family was in charge of the Life Hospitals Group before.

”At least, the Han Family had their originality,” he murmured scornfully.

His thoughts were interrupted when the helper said that the dinner was ready. He looked at the clock. It was already past seven and Bernard hadn't arrived yet. He was never late whenever the two of them met.

Then his phone rang.

”What? Where?” He burst out and jumped off the sofa to rush towards his car, he even forgot to wear slippers.

”Bro, hang in there!” He murmured as he rushed to the nearest hospital where Bernard and his fiancee were taken.

Xander's heart was beating like a drum as his body shook frantically.

'Oh God, please save them,' he kept chanting as he drove. Bernard must not be injured. Those were the words that kept playing in his mind.

His cousin couldn't afford any kind of injury.

He ran inside and immediately dialed his assistant's number as he looked where Bernard and his fiancee were taken.

Both were inside the operating room.

”Go and immediately inform the doctors that Bernard has hemophilia!” He instructed the nurse who obeyed immediately.

”What happened?!” He was shouting as agony took over him. One of the hospital staff explained the situation.

Senior Cooper arrived at the hospital with Assistant Ron and saw how his nephew was waiting outside the operating room, barefoot.

Xander saw him and stood up. The operation was taking so long.

”They are operating on Bernard right now. His fiancee was transferred to the recovery room. The doctor said that she was not hurt badly, except for a mild head injury. The result did not show anything to be alarmed with. Uncle, Dr. Su said that Bernard is not in good shape,” Xander said, as he burst out crying.
