Jin said, "I didn’t tell Mom and Dad and just rushed out. They still think I am asleep in my room. I couldn’t think straight...I reached her place on my bicycle and I banged the door hard. But her parents didn’t co outside?"
Jia asked, "They didn’t co out to see who it was outside?"
He shook his head. "Ehuang sohow managed to open the door and...and once I saw her state...I...I...She collapsed right in front of ..."
He lowered his teary head in his palms. "It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t fought with Zedong and his gang, this wouldn’t have happened! It’s all my fault!"
Ehuang painfully said, "Please don’t...Jin. It’s not your...fault..."
Bojing was flabbergasted. "W-wait a minute, so your parents weren’t ho-ho when Jin arrived at your house?"
Jin wiped his cheeks. "No...Otherwise they wouldn’t have let see her or let Ehuang open the door. I didn’t care either. I took her on my bike and headed straight here."
Bojing gritted his teeth. "How could they! They left her daughter in such a state and left ho just like that for her to die!?"
Mingshen asked expressionlessly, "How co you knew to co to the lab here? This place is far from your place, I assu. Why didn’t you go to the nearest hospital instead?"
Ehuang wanted to reply but Jin stopped her. "You please rest Ehuang. I will talk," his eyes reddened.
Jin then t Mingshen’s deep gaze and said, "Ehuang’s father’s brother, her uncle, is a doctor in a hospital. One ti, she went alone to et him to..." he looked away, "talk about sothing private. But he told her parents about it and they got very angry at her. She isn’t supposed to go anywhere or talk to anybody without their permission. They also told her uncle not to help her."
Zhiyou pressed her lips hard with an icy gaze and so did Jia.
"Since then Ehuang doesn’t trust hospitals or people who work there. We don’t know who will snitch her to her parents. But..."
He clasped his hands together. "But I wanted to take Ehuang to et a doctor anyhow. So I was searching for good doctors a-and then I saw your na..."
Jin looked left and right as if he didn’t know how to put his words in a way that wouldn’t sound offensive to Mingshen.
"You are very popular and you own most of the hospitals but most importantly..." he cleared his throat, "I-I also heard of your e-e-eccentric personality..."
Mingshen raised his brow in amusent. "Hooo~"
Jia’s mouth twitched.
"I don’t an it in a bad way! Really!" He quickly corrected himself. "I an that it felt to like you are sobody who wouldn’t snitch to Ehuang’s parents if she didn’t want it. Like...I don’t know how to put it I am sorry..." his shoulders dropped.
Jia said, "It’s like Ehuang’s parents aren’t a threat to Mingshen. They cannot be a threat to him even if they tried. So you will feel safe. He gives off the impression that he doesn’t give a damn about the people he doesn’t want to."
Mingshen smiled. "I will take that as a complint."
"Most of the ti, it is not a complint," her eyes squinted.
"Yes, yes! Like that only!" Jin felt relieved that sobody was able to express his feelings. "So I strongly felt that we should et Dr. Yang. Ehuang agreed too after I convinced her. But we didn’t know how to get your appointnt, p-plus you are so famous too. So I kind of started tracking you but then I ca to know that you weren’t in Beijing for so days."
"Yes, I was in Tianjin along with my Spicy colleague here," he smiled.
He nodded. "I had no choice but to wait. Then I learned that the Whispers of the Heart drama crew was returning and it was big news because of the murder case. I also heard that you got involved in it so I figured I will find you at the airport with them."
Mingshen stared at him as he recalled sothing.
"Was it you who was staring at that ti? I was feeling a strong gaze from sowhere."
" too," Jia blinked.
Jin stiffened and looked away guiltily. "I was hiding and looking at you. But you were all surrounded by people and I couldn’t gather courage to co up to you. So I just kept watching until you left...Sorry that was creepy..."
"Ah. And here I thought it was so enemy. Aish too bad. I thought I will have so fun~" Mingshen deeply lanted.
Jin threw a nervous glance at Jia as if asking, ’Is it okay to continue talking to him?’
"He talks like that only. Ignore him," she assured him.
He coughed slightly.
"I see...That’s everything though. Since you were back, I decided to et you sohow but I was surprised to see you at the principal’s office today."
Mingshen rembered Ehuang’s surprised reaction as well.
"That’s why I ca here. I didn’t know anybody at the hospital and whom to trust...What if sobody called her parents again and took her away? So I ca here even if it was far..."
Jin bowed deeply as tears fell. "Thank you for saving Ehuang! I am sorry I...I don’t have enough m-money to pay for your fees...But I will find a part ti job soon and pay all the bills, I promise!"
"Not you, Jin. I will...do it..." Ehuang breathlessly said.
"No Ehuang, how could you? I won’t let you, okay? You just have to rest and do nothing else!" He firmly squeezed her hand.
Bojing burst into tears. His chest tightened with pain. Shilin, too, looked somber.
Mingshen smiled. "Don’t worry, I know who to take my fees from, that too with interest and that’s not you or Ehuang so relax. I don’t let my money go anywhere and I always make it a point for the concerned parties to cough it out by hook or by crook."
"Can you not talk to them in that hooligan manner?" Jia grimaced.
"I am just explaining my ways of working to them," he innocently said.
"No need."
Jia then looked at Jin and asked, "Why did you and Ehuang want to et Mingshen though? Is she sick but her parents are not allowing her treatnt? Is it sothing like that?" Her eyes dangerously narrowed at that notion.
Jin and Ehuang quietened at that.
