23 Hospital (1/2)

”Hello?”

”Good afternoon, Mr. Cheng. I'm sorry for not being able to answer your calls for the past two days. I would like to ask for a week leave as I am currently recuperating in the hospital. Do you need me for something Mr. Cheng?” finally..he finally heard her sweet calming voice...but..

”you're sick?” Cheng Ming-hùa worriedly asked

”no Mr. Cheng, I got into a car accident”

”who?” his voice hid the anger he felt once he heard it but it didn't stop the room from turning cold as his frosty eyes glazed over.

”it has been dealt with Mr. Cheng. Do you need me for anything, Sir?” she asked again.

This woman really didn't want him to do anything?

”which hospital?” he asked, ignoring her question

”Grace Angels Hospital, Mr. Cheng”

”are you hungry?”

”hmmm...I guess I am?”

”which room?”

”VIP floor, room 104”

”what do you want to eat?”

'what is this? an interview?' she thought ”hospital meals”

”Don't eat that. Wait for me”

”There's no need to bother with that Mr. Ch--” before she could finish, Cheng Ming-hùa ended the call.

'I guess he really never listens when he wants to do something huh?' she thought as she let her thoughts wander to the past..

-2 years ago-

”What upset you, grandpa Fei?” Hui Yin asked as she poured earl grey tea on Old Cheng's favorite antique porcelain tea cup.

”that grandson of mine who else ah??!?”

”what did he do this time?” she chuckled. Hearing Cheng Ming-hùa's stories as they both grew older made her feel different emotions. It interested her..too bad I can't meet with him yet..

”he's too stubborn for his own good. Today, this old grandpa of yours just wanted to walk along the park and enjoy fishing but he told me to go alone just because he's busy making my empire larger”

”haha but grandpa Fei, you have me right here. I can do those with you since I'm free for the time being..”

”really? you're not saving lives today?”

”hmm nope, unless there's an emergency, I won't be there today”

”that's really great ah? you can accompany this old man. Xiao Yin, why don't you just marry my grandson? Then you can accompany me anytime I want. Think about it yeah?”

”don't be silly grandpa Fei, I still have things to do”

A knock on the door was heard and in came Mr. Ling, carrying a bag with freshly cooked food from L'Morte de Greiche, a famous seafood restaurant.
