Before I give you the Chapter, firstly I want to thank everyone of you who were with in these bad tis. Though I didn’t reply to any of your ssages, I read all of them and was truly blessed to see how supportive, helpful and caring you were.
Daily I’m receiving ssages from many of you asking how am I and my father. Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou so much. I don’t have words to express gratitude.
Guys.... with the blessings of your prayers, he got discharged last Sunday and is now recovering.
Though recovery for covid patient is very challenging, especially when his lungs are severely damaged (CT score 19/25), we are trying our best to give him best care. My mom is also recovering at ho (CT score 14/25).
As far as I’m concerned, other then weakness I don’t have any post covid symptoms. Doctors have advised to continue taking vitamins and eat healthy diet. Other mbers of my family are on the path of recovery. It’s just my aunt who is still in the hospital as she was the first one to contract and her CT score is 22/25. Just today I received news from my uncle that she’d be discharged in a day or two.
Happy !
Happy we all!
But it taught us a harsh lesson. Don’t take this virus lightly. We did it, and learned it the hard way.
Please, please, wear that mask, use sanitizer, and try not to go out of ho. I have seen people dying in front of my eyes and families crying. Nothing is more heart wrenching then seeing this.
Please take care of yourself.
Take precautions.
Get vaccinated.
*Important update. I’m taking care of both my parents at ho which is taking my most of the ti. I will try to write whenever I get ti and give you updates.
Love
dream
*Before you curse , you won’t be charged for this long ssage. And I will be updating a dummy Chapter as non priviledge readers are looking forwards to hear from . I had to inform them about my father and thank them for all the precious. prayers.

Soone pinched Suyin’s nose to wake her up from her sleep. She groaned and shook away from the pinch, turning her face to the side.
"Dare go back to sleep and next I will press at your broken leg."
She cracked open her eyes. A man with hair like a bird’s nest stares back. Wrinkled face. Lips raised in to an arrogant smirk. Signature white coat. Stethoscope around neck.
"Though you had made full preparations to live the rest of your life with one leg, too bad I spoiled your plan." Dr. Colton whispered. Suyin followed his vision all the way to her leg, understanding what he was referring to.
A faint smile ca to her lips. She tried to sit up and Colton helped her. Then he places a pillow behind her. "Thank you, Shifu,"
Colton raised his brows, "Pardon ?"
"Sorry," he stared back in silence, and she held her ear lobs with both hands, "Sorry. I shouldn’t have been rude to you."
That’s it. It was enough for Colton’s heart to lt. Why not? The girl sitting in front was her one and only student. His favourite. The one whom he considers as a daughter but never told her.
A rare smile curled his lips up. He places a hand on her head, voice going soft, "I’m not angry, silly girl. Never was I. I know, none of us was wrong. It was just a difference in thinking."
Her heart warms up but the faint smile didn’t reach her eyes.
It must have shown on her face that Colton cupped her right cheek. A gesture he did only once when she cried at a patient’s death during her ntoring days under him. It was the first death she ever saw as a doctor.
Her pulse raced. It reminded her of old mories. She wanted to ask about Wang Shi , about the surgery she did, about his wellbeing, but was terrified of the results. What if--?? The words refused to co out, and she looked at him with pursed lips, waiting for him to say sothing.
Colton must have read the question in her eyes. "His condition is serious." his voice ca low and serious, laced with everything bad, "The clot in his heart--"
"No. No. Nothing can happen to him." Colton stopped seeing Suyin mumble, "He has to live for us. For his parents. For his brothers. For Honey. For --" she corrected herself, "--for everyone. He has no right to leave us alone in this world. I won’t let him."
She pulled the blanket off of her but Colton stopped her before she could hurt herself. "Shishi, let see him. How can there be a clot? I kept all the points in mind and took precautions. How--"
"Complications are integral part of dicine." Colton reminded her, "No matter how good you are, you are not a God,"
"BUT YOU ARE. AREN’T YOU THE GOD OF DICINE? WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING ANYTHING?" Tears rolled down her cheeks. A sob from heart and soul lted through her eyes, without letting her know she was crying for the man she claid to hate most. She held Colton’s hands, "Save him, Shifu. Please save him."
"Why? Why these tears when you hate him to the core? Wouldn’t his death be good for you? Honey will be yours forever. Let him die."
She covered her ears. The feeling of heart being shredded into pieces condensed through tears. Wish she not cursed Wang Shi in her heart. Wish she not think of all the possible bad things to happen to him. Wish she could take her words back...
"No. No. This can’t happen. Honey--" she looked up and saw Colton smiling at her. She understood. "You lied."
"I," He said, wiping her fat tears, "Can’t help. Was curious to see your reaction---ah--" she slapped his hand.
"I take back my words. You are cruel."
"That I am. Being around king of underworld has a deep impact on --"
"AHEM, AHEM,"
"COUGH, COUGH,"
Suyin’s head snapped at the door. Her eyes watered seeing Jas and Zeng smiling at her. By their restlessness she could clearly tell how desperate they were to squeeze her in their arms. She too.
"AHEM, AHEM,"
"COUGH, COUGH,"
Dr. Colton rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, I heard it before. My hearing is very much intact." He looked back at Suyin, "I really want to do so experints on these two annoying flys. They ate half my brain asking about you when you were unconscious. Compensate ." saying he walked towards the door, watching as Jas and Zeng running all the way to Suyin. "Careful. Her wounds are fresh. Don’t make export you two back to Cheyna."
The two nodded like pecking chicken.
Colton, "By the way, just now she cried for Wang Shi. Don’t forget to give her an update." saying he left, shutting the door behind. "Hard to understand. Impossible to explain," they heard him say from the closed door.
Jas scratched his head, "Huh? What is he saying?"
Zeng scrunched his nose, "What is hard? What is impossible?"
Suyin, "Go ask. Don’t eat my brain,"
"..."
"...."
Jas took a step back, not daring to hug the ball of hotness. Angry Suyin was unpredictable. He had experienced it many tis. But Zeng was unaware of it and reached to embrace his sister. "Aiyooo, my cute Susu-- AH!" Suyin slapped him away.
Jas suppressed his laughter.
Zeng slapped Jas on shoulder, not controlling his strength, "You knew it. That’s why you stepped back, moron, jerk, asshole."
"Don’t talk about ass. Don’t forget your ass is still swollen and I just have to-- PAK" Without warning, Jas spanked Zeng.
"OW..."
Suyin couldn’t control her laughter at Zeng’s howling and him rubbing his ass furiously. The two winked at each other and didn’t delay another second to hug her. She hugged back, nudging her head once in Jas’s chest and once in Zeng’s.
Janes, "Thank God you are okay."
Zeng, "We were so scared when we heard you might lose a leg. Thanks to Dr. Colton, who boarded the ergency flight when he ca to know about you and Wang Shi,"
Suyin looked up from their chest, "Howz he?"
Zeng pouted, "How an. Never for once you asked if I’m okay."
Jas, " too,"
Suyin, "My eyes are very much working. Now are you two telling or should I--"
"He’s fine. Recovering. The surgery was successful, and he woke up twenty hours later with no serious complications." Jas didn’t delay another second.
"No matter how much you decline, you are one of the best doctors." Zeng squeezed her in arms.
"Take to see him?"
Jas and Zeng sighs but they stood up and assisted her out of bed. They knew it was futile to talk her out of this.
While Jas supported her, Zeng helped her put on a robe and sandals and made her sit on a wheelchair before taking her down the hallway at the room very hand where Wang Shi was.
On the way she saw Evan standing outside a room looking lost. As they passed, Evan’s gaze fell at Jas hopefully. Suyin glanced at Jas who was behaving as if noticed nothing and ignored Evan’s eyes at him.
Suyin, "Jamie--"
Jamie pressed at her shoulder, "Don’t pay attention."
They stopped at the very end, where bodyguards stand watch.
Zeng was about to push the door open when Suyin stopped him. "Help stand once. I just want to see him once, and not talk."
"But--"
She raised her palm, "Don’t make do anything that I don’t want to."
The two sighs and nodded. Jas stepped forward, "Whatever you want," The two supported her by shoulders, and helped her to the glass opening at the door.
Wang Shi was half sitting on the bed, Honey sitting beside him. The two busy in a ga of Go. Correction needed. Honey seed teaching Wang Shi how it’s played and the forr’s facial expression showed he was forced into this.
Poor Wang Shi.
Savage Honey.
Unknowingly Suyin chuckled.
Call it a God’s set up or intuition, the two ’n’ inside the room looked at the door simultaneously. Because of her injury Suyin couldn’t dodge in ti.
"DUCKY! DAD, DUCKY WOKE UP!" Honey bolted up in excitent, dashing straight at Suyin. Before she could realise, the little one had hugged her thigh, careful not to go anywhere near her injury. "You are bad. You scared ." she heard his choked up voice.
