Chapter 62 - Wont let you escape that easily. You will have to pay. (1/2)
At a big mansion, he walked with long strides, eyes filled with concern and his body nearly shaking with fear. He was none other than Deming. He directly walked toward a room where someone was lying on the bed, medical machineries and tubes were attached to her body & several doctors and nurses were assisting her.
When they heard the footsteps behind them, they turned their head and bowed down to greet, ”Mr.Wang”.
”Doctor, how is she? When will she wake up?”, his voice filled with concern. His eyes showed a thick line of nervousness as if soon his soul is going to leave her.
The doctors were used to with his reactions. Though Deming portrays himself to be tough and heartless in front of everyone but after seeing him like this for 3 months, they know he is a man with heart which has concern for the girl lying on the bed, maybe more than concern.
”Mr.Wang, her situation is stable now but few hours before she got a panic attack as if her body was craving for something, something which her body can't miss. It's been like this for the last 3 months but today it got a little severe. Since we don't know her exact daily appetite routine, it's a little tough for us to get the cause of her panic attacks. According to her maid, she always had healthy food diet, but her body denies that fact”, the doctor said with a serious tone.
Deming nodded to them and signaled them to leave them alone. The doctors left the room and close the door behind them.
Deming fixated his gaze which held care , concern and love on the girl lying on the bed. He slowly walked to the side of the bed and cautiously laid beside her.
His eyes were still fixated on her, he gently caressed her cheeks and then combed her hair smooth with his fingers, ”Jie...O my Jie, You know that I don't have patience. Don't try my patience now. Just wake up quickly. I am missing your tantrums. Just wake up. I want to hear your voice. Your brother Ming misses you. I love you, my love”.
”Why I wasn't here when you got involved in that accident? It's all my fault, that I was not there for you”, he said while gently holding her hands.
He closes his eyes to reminisce his memories with her. A 14 year boy was sitting near tombs of his parents, blankly staring as if he has lost all his hopes after their death. The ones, his parents had trusted were ready to backstab him for their profits. He was feeling alone in this overpopulated world. He can feel darkness engulfing his from every sides.
At that time, a soft giggling took his attention. He turned to look at the direction where a girl was standing and chattering in front of a tomb. She was a 10 year old sweet girl, whose a simple giggle can multiply her cuteness into hundreds.
When she saw that him staring her, she gave a sweet smile and ran towards him. It was like a ray of light coming towards him tearing apart the darkness around him. He doesn't knew when and how but after getting a single glance from her, a small smile captured his lips.
”What happened to you? Why are you so sad? Are you too missing them?”she said softly. Her
dark black eyes were fixed on him as she was trying to figure out something from his expressions.
When he saw her intent gazes on him, she avoided her eye contact. He said in a stern voice, ”Why are you talking to me? Don't you know you shouldn't talk to strangers”.
”Yeah, I know we shouldn't talk to bad strangers but I don't think you are bad. You are not bad, you are so handsome”, she said innocently.
”What makes you think that I am not bad?”, he looked at her dangerously. He wanted to scare her away but the next second his heart melted when he felt her soft hands wrapped around him.
”I know you are not bad, because your eyes says it all. I know when you said that we shouldn't talk to strangers, you were concerned for me”, she said while looking at his eyes.
