Xu Mey listened to Lin Shen's advise and splashed her face with some cold water. After that, she got a cup of coffee and walked out on an open terrace to take some fresh air.
Sitting on the bench, she was taking a sip of her hot coffee when her eyes fell on a familiar face sitting with an IV drip attached to his hand.
"Mr. Kaden?" Xu Mey called out his name and Kaden jolted a bit in surprise.
"Gosh! You scared me!" He placed his hand over his heart to calm down a bit.
"I'm sorry about that," Xu Mey spoke softly before taking a seat opposite of him. "What are you doing here? Are you sick?"
"Nah! It's nothing much. I ate something not knowing there was pineapple powder in it." Kaden replied calmly.
"You're allergic to pineapple?" Xu Mey raised her brow inquiringly.
"Yeah!" Kaden answered honestly. "Why are you asking?"
"Oh, nothing! I have a pineapple allergy as well." Xu Mey replied feeling rather weird in her heart. And at that moment, she missed the smile on Kaden's face. "But why did you eat it if you weren't sure of the ingredients?" Xu Mey asked sternly since she was someone who knew well enough how dangerous a simple food allergy could get.
"How could I say no to eating it?" Xu Mey frowned at his response. "It was made by my fiancee. I had to eat it at any cost." There was a bright smile on his face as he spoke.
"Where is this fiancee of yours? She didn't even know about your allergy? What kind of a person is she?" Xu Mey inquired again feeling angry for some reason.
"Don't say that. She must have forgotten because of all the work she has to do. It doesn't matter. As for her being here, I can't see her upset. So, I didn't tell her anything." Xu Mey had the urge to slap him seeing him grin like that but she controlled herself. She had to remind herself that he was just a neighbor nothing else. She actually approached him because of the same fact.
"You must love her a lot," Xu Mey remarked.
"I do..." He replied with a sadness swimming in his eyes. "Oh, what about you? Why are you at the hospital? Are you also sick? What's wrong?" Seeing his anxious look, Xu Mey was taken aback. Why was a stranger so concerned about her. They were neighbors but they only met once, surely he didn't have to react this way.
"I'm fine. I came with a friend." Xu Mey assured him and saw the way he visibly relaxed. Xu Mey sat in comfortable silence with him for a while before getting up to leave. "I should get back to my friend." Kaden nodded and waved her goodbye.
Meanwhile, Wu Wang was shifted to the VIP room. Lin Shen was the only one inside the room waiting for someone and when the door opened, he turned to see a young woman walking inside.
"Dr. Yang Ziyi?" Lin Shen asked.
"Hello, Dr. Lin Shen! It's a huge pleasure finally meeting you in person." Yang Ziyi smiled pleasantly at him and shook hands with him.
"I should be saying it's my honor to make your acquaintance." Lin Shen spoke politely.
"Let me have a look at the patient," she turned and Lin Shen felt that she halted for a second before walking ahead. Yang Ziyi looked at Wu Wang's pale face and picked up his report file.
Suddenly the door opened and Xu Mey walked inside. Yang Ziyi looked at her inquiringly and Lin Shen answered, "She's family."
Yang Ziyi nodded and said, "Dr. Lin can I talk to you alone?"
"Xiao Mey, wait outside for a while." Lin Shen said to Xu Mey.
"You said Wang Ge is fine. Why is he still sleeping like this?" Xu Mey tugged at Lin Shen's sleeve disregarding his words.
"He's absolutely fine and there is no doubt in that. Please, if you don't mind. I have to discuss something with Dr. Lin." Xu Mey narrowed her eyes at the young looking doctor skeptically.
"Xiao Mey, believe Dr. Yang's words. She's not only a renowned surgeon but also an expert in traditional medicines. Wait for me outside," Lin Shen coaxed her a bit and Xu Mey left the room reluctantly.
"Dr. Lin, your friend's reports are absolutely fine and you know that as well." Lin Shen nodded his head. The reports were fine but his friend was still in a coma. And with each passing second, his friend was walking farther away from him. "I believe his unconsciousness in due to mental stress."
Even Lin Shen knew that himself. His phone ringtone made Lin Shen excuse himself and he left the room for a while.
Yang Ziyi looked at Wu Wang's face and smiled. "Looks like you're still torturing yourself in the name of first love." She stroked his cheek softly saying, "If I knew I'd actually get to be your doctor after coming to this hospital, I'd have taken this job years ago."
"Don't be stubborn. Your friends are worried for you and if I'm not wrong that girl who just entered is the one whom you treasure the most. How can you let her cry like this for you?" She was talking as if Wu Wang was listening to her voice. "You're the one who once told me that love can beat friendship. Then how can you let down your friends for love?"
Looking at his wan skin texture, she felt a bit of pain in her heart. In her memories, he was the cheery person whom she hated the most. She hated his playboy habits. She hated his drinking habits. She hated him in general but what she couldn't hate was his heart. "Wake up soon! I still have a lot to fight about."
Hearing the sound of the door, she stood straight and behaved like a professional doctor. "Dr. Lin, I think you should let your friends accompany him. An emotional strike might help in stimulating his desire to live." With that, she cast a last look at Wu Wang and walked out of the room.
Walking out, Yang Ziyi could hear his voice in her memories saying, 'You know what's the deadliest kind of love?'
She had shaken her head in response and he added, 'The love itself. Because there are no kinds of love. There is either love or there is no love.'
It took her a while to understand the meaning behind his words but surely, she understood it.
