Chapter 3 - Alive

The assistant of the young man dressed in a classic English fit suit that was sitting on the sofa of the hospital room was named Fu Chao. At this moment, the assistance had been bearing his anxiety for five days now.

Fu Chao was holding onto a bunch of papers in his hand that needed his boss to sign. However, when he quietly looked at his boss who was sitting in a chair near the bed of the patent while reading a Japanese book, he could only pretend that the important papers were nonexistent.

At the same time, Fu Chao was tightly gripping his phone due to the sheer amount of calls and text messages he has received from the higher-ups in the company. Here he was being tortured by the company, and yet he was still sending clothes, books, and food to his boss every day in this hospital.

He just could not understand what his boss was doing!

After the operation, his boss had not left her side for even a bit. The moment that she was wheeled into the VIP room, his boss also stayed with her.

'Boss, if we keep on staying here, maybe the moment that we get back to the company, we will be hanging on a thread!'

Assistant Fu could only hope and wish for the young lady to immediately wake up or else she would be the cause of many deaths in their company.

Thankfully, it seems like God did not abandon him and heard his plea for the moment he was thinking those words, a sound from the usual quiet bed could finally be heard for once.

Tang Yazhu could feel her head aching tremendously as she slowly opened her eyes, feeling a bit dizzy and woozy. When she tried to lift herself up, she groaned at the heaviness that her body was feeling.

Then, sensing the presence of someone nearby, Tang Yazhu turned her head to the left. At the turn, she saw an IV drip and a man sitting on a chair next to her bed wearing a fitted full black suit. Despite wanting to pay attention to his face, she could only see his well-built body.

In a hoarse voice, she asked the man, "I-I'm… alive?"

She tried reaching out her left hand to touch him, wanting to see if this was truly real. However, being quite weak, her hand could only begin to fall. Just before it hit the bed though, the man grabbed her hand, holding onto it.

The moment that she felt the warm touch of the man with the roughness of his palm, tears flowed down from her eyes as she breathed out in relief. The poker-faced man was dumbfounded at her crying, unknown what to do to have her stop crying.

"Fu Chao, call the doctor!" the young man instantly called out while Fu Chao was still in shock at the sight of his boss holding onto the hand of a young lady.

Do not blame him. This was truly the first time that Fu Chao has seen his boss being intimate with the opposite gender, no less even a human at all.

Fu Chao knew quite well just how much his boss hated other people touching him. When he saw the aura from his boss turning cold due to the clicking seconds that went by, he immediately left the room in search of a doctor.

The young man then turned to look at Tang Yazhu and said in an assuring cold voice, "You're alive, so don't cry."

When Tang Yazhu heard his voice, she felt a brief moment of relief. Before she could relish the feeling of being alive, a flash of memories came through her mind, making her feel like her head was going to burst.

"Are you okay? Are you hurting somewhere?" the man stood up in a panic, looking aggrieved when he saw her pained face.

Tang Yazhu then realized that the gush of memories running around in her brain were images of memories that did not belong to her. Though, she clearly understood that these flashes of memories belonged to the previous owner of the body.

Since she now possessed the memories of the previous owner, it seemed that she had successfully managed to possess a human body now.

Then, Tang Yazhu finally understood that she could only possess a body that had already died. This was why she was able to enter a body during that accident. It was also why she could only pass through the human bodies rather than possess them since they were still alive with a soul still in them.

It seems like the transparent thing that Tang Yazhu saw from the accident was the soul of the previous owner leaving her body. Well, that was all she could really formulate at this moment.

Actually, she did not really know if she should be thankful for having a body now or be sorry for the previous owner for now she was alive, but the former was now dead.

While the young man wearing a poker face stood right next to her looking at her pale complexion, a doctor finally came in, prepared to examine Tang Yazhu.

"We will be running some tests to know more about her current condition. Also, due to the concussion, she will have periodic headaches. Young Sir has no need to worry for she will be alright," the doctor explained and assured the young man.

After examining Tang Yazhu and doing some procedures, the doctor finally left the VIP room.

Once the doctor left, Tang Yazhu exclaimed while heaving a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness I'm still alive!"

"Uh… Um… You can let go of my hand now," Tang Yazhu said when remembered to look at the hand holding onto her hand.

At her words, the poker-faced man immediately let go of her hand.

Seeing this scene, Assistant Fu decided to step in to introduce themselves, "Hello, Miss Ren. We are truly glad that you are awake now. I am Fu Chao, the assistant of Young Master Long."

Hearing his name, Tang Yazhu raised her brow as she could not help but think, 'Ren? Ah, I remember…"

The body that she currently possessed was named Ren Bao. She was a sous chef at a three-star Michelin restaurant and an adopted daughter of a priest from an orphanage. After she turned eighteen, she left the orphanage and moved to a small apartment, living alone for the majority of her life.

Comprehending all of these memories, Tang Yazhu could only think of one thing, 'What a lonely life this girl had.'

"Were you guys the ones that brought me here?" Tang Yazhu asked, looking at the poker-faced man and the assistant.

Not only did they not look like any ordinary person, but she could also sense luxury emitting from the interior of the room, making her roughly guess that she was currently habituating a VIP room.

"Uh… Well… Yes… We are very sorry for putting you in your current state," Assistant Fu apologized, feeling extremely sorry to Tang Yazhu.

Honestly, Tang Yazhu did not care much. There was nothing more important than being alive and to her, that was all that mattered.

Thus, Tang Yazhu happily said, "It's fine! It was an accident! Besides, the important thing is that I'm still alive and breathing!"

Tang Yazhu then subconsciously looked at the young man standing beside Assistant Fu who was staring at her intently as though he was doing an X-Ray or MRI scan on her.

"Uh… Assistant Fu, does your boss happen to have a problem with me? He's staring at me as though he's trying to see if I'm made of bones or not," Tang Yazhu anxiously whispered.

Wait… First off, why was he staring at her so intently? Was it because she happened to possess the body of someone who was very ugly?

Nooooo! As she was in a rush, she did not manage to see the beauty of this body. Now, she did not know if her looks were below or above average.

Even if she did not put too much importance on looks, how was she supposed to get married if she was ugly?! This cannot be!

It was okay if the face was average! She could accept an average-looking face! However, the way that the young man was staring at her was like she was the ugliest person on Earth!

No… This can not be!

With that thought in mind, Tang Yazhu started to panic. Her dreams… Her goals… Her wants…

Ah, she could feel them going down the drain. The drain that the gods used to wash their feet.

Seriously, she wanted to cry right now, but at the same time, she did not like crying. Besides, she already cried once before. If she cried again, would she not be weird?

Someone, please tell her if she was ugly or not. It was too bad that Assistant Fu did not receive her message, nor did the young man know about the effect of his stare on her.
