CHAPTER 09 - CASE OF POISON
Xi Song's POV
Taking out my gloves, I washed my hands as I came out. "What's the report of the patient?" Reading the file, Ling Xiao answered. "He is safe for now, but the poison in his body is in excessive amounts. I'm afraid we can't save him--"
Cutting his words off, I shouted. "DON'T EVER SAY THIS AGAIN. We have to save him at any rate." Shifting my gaze, I glanced at a lady sitting on the nearby bench. Taking out my mask, I walked to her. "What are you doing here, Xingyue?"Lifting her chin, she stood up immediately. "How is the patient? Is he okay?" Taking a pause, I gulped. "The risk is too high. The toxin is poisonous, and it's found excessive in his body. It seems like a murder case." She knitted her brows as someone ran to us, shouting her name. "XINGYUE, IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?"
Gazing at Xia Na, I shifted my eyes to her. She was looking pale."How is he?" Shaking her head as no, she hugged her. "Xia Na, he is not safe." Patting her back, she tried to calm her down. "What is happening?"Scanning me, she answered. "The patient is an actor in our company. Xingyue allotted him. After his sudden passing out, one of the employees claimed that Xingyue added poison in his drink because he rejected her love." She added. "Everyone is now blaming her. Especially Zhang Yuewei, she even asked Mr. Han to call the police." Breaking the hug, she tried to control her tears. "Xia Na, keep an eye on him. I need some time alone."
Saying this, she walked away as I looked at her worried face."Who is Zhang Yuewei?"Sitting on the bench, she answered. "One of her haters. When Xingyue joined our company, she was Mr. Han's favorite. He cherished her like his own daughter. And so he gave the assistant job to Xinyue, not to Yuewei. I wished this girl could have happiness in life. She never deserves to be treated like this." Upon listening to it, my heart clenched.Xingyue's POV
Chin trembling, I picked up my cell phone as my mom's number displayed. I wept. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Feeling a lack of energy, I squinted my eyes when I felt someone's presence beside me. "What will you get by crying?" With empty stares, I smiled in pain. "You will never understand me, Dr. Song."
Glancing sideways, he uttered. "But crying for something you never did. What a stupid thing it is, Xingyue?" Heading down to the ground, I answered. "I don't understand. Why is it always me? Whenever I tried to make everything good, I ended up making it worse."Covering my eyes, he led my head on his shoulder. "Cry it out and let's fight after it together, okay?" Pressing my lips, I hummed.His shoulders were wide enough to have a good sleep. His palm was warm, sending me. Feeling the comfort, I discovered his new side. He was not a cold-hearted person nor aloof. "I think my thoughts about you, Dr. Song, are changing," I thought to myself.Han Shuo's POV
Dealing with the phone calls, I searched for Xinyue. But there was no sign of her. Calling Xia Na, I asked. "Do you know where Xingyue is?"
Xia Na: She was in the hospital, but now I don't know.
Me: Ask her to come here as soon as possible.
Xia Na: What happened, Mr. Han?
Running my hands through my hair, I replied.
Me: Someone leaked the news. Everyone now is in search of her. Ask her to hide somewhere.
Xia Na: WHAT? But she is not the culprit.
Me: I know, but for them, she is.
Hanging the call, I attended another one.
Me: Dad?
Dad: What are these? You both come to meet me.
Humming as an answer, I hung up as I laid back on my chair. Furrowing my forehead, I stared at the ceiling. "Xingyue, please be safe for me. I promise nothing will happen to you."
Xi Song's POV
As I uncovered her eyes, I saw her sleeping peacefully on my shoulder. Taking a deep breath, I took out my phone as I called the only one who could help me this time.
Gasping, I lowered my head as I stated.Me: Dad, can you do me a favor? Help me find out some details of an employee "Zhang Yuwei"
Dad: Why do you need her details, son?
Me: I can't tell you now. Just help me with it.
Sighing from another side, he replied.
Dad: It will be delivered to your house by tomorrow.
Me: Thank you, dad. I owe a big favor to you.
Hanging up the call, I stared at her face. For the first time in my life, I discovered someone more stressed than me. Smiling at her, I saw Xia Na running to us.
Catching a breath, she uttered. "Xi Song, it's not safe for her to stay here. Someone leaked the news." Rubbing my forehead, I tapped on her cheeks, waking her up. "Xingyue?" With her half-opened eyes, she yawned. "What happened?"Holding her arms, I claimed. "Do as I told you. Come to my home with me. Don't go out anywhere without me." "But what happened?" Holding her hand, I stood up. "I'll explain it to you at home. Let's go."
We were at the peak of leaving the hospital when I heard noises coming over from the front side. Media vans covered all the area as they were flashing the light, trying to capture her. "What is the media doing here?"Covering her behind my back, I thought. "Oh, no. How will we escape now?"
CHAPTER 10 - When the heart talks your feelingsAuthor's POVGulping down, he took his phone out as he called his friend. "Ling Xiao, do you know the other way of exiting the hospital?" Humming, he replied. "Yeah, there is a way behind the hospital. But what happened?" Holding her hand, he directed her as Xia Na pushed her. "Xingyue, just go with him. Don't worry about anything, okay?" Glancing sideways, she nodded her head in agreement as they ran away. Taking his car, Ling Xiao waited for them near the gate. Waving at him, Xi Song approached him. "Thank you, Ling Xiao. Can you handle the matter?" Smiling at him, he stroked on his arm. "Of course, I'm the master after all. Don't be concerned, sister-in-law needs you more this time." Peeking at her, he bowed. "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Ling Xiao. One of the best surgeons here--" Cutting his words off, he sided him. "Okay! Do your introduction some other time. Xi
CHAPTER 11 - FIND THE CULPRITAuthor's POVThe rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. Lifting her head, she glanced at the clock as it showed seven of the morning. Doing her daily pieces of stuff, she moved downstairs as she smelled something delicious. "Hmm!! It looks like Dr. Song woke up early." Chuckling at her comment, he placed the dishes on the table as he replied. "I'm a doctor. I woke earlier than others and stayed up at night too. Come and eat. I'll drop you at your office." Playing with her fingers, she brushed her hair back as she messaged Han Shuo. "Han Shuo, you don't need to come here. My cousin will drop me."Placing her phone on the table, she sat opposite him."Xi Song, I know it's tough for you to let a stranger stay at your place. So thank you for letting me in." Taking a bite of bread, he chuckled. "You're talking lik
CHAPTER 12 - PAGES OF PASTXi Song's POV"I promise her mom will protect her. I can't back off from it." Taking the file from his hands, I unopened it and started reading her details when something caught my eyes as I narrowed my eyes. Taking the phone, I dialed a number, not knowing if it still worked or not???: Hello?Gasping, I stammered.Me: You still use this number, Han Shuo.Clearing his throat, he answered.Han Shuo: It's my choice. What's the reason behind calling me?Me: I want to meet you. It's related to Xingyue's case.Han Shuo: Okay. I will send you the location.Humming, I hung up the call as I looked down when he asked."What's wrong, Xi Song?" Staring at the ceiling, I answered. "Nothing is wrong. Take my shift for today. I have something to deal with." Taking my belongings, I left the place.Xingyue's POVL
CHAPTER 13 - Signal of love?Xingyue's POVWalking as fast as I could, I arrived at an alley where I saw no other way to escape. Shivering, I turned back as I heard a man laughing like a maniac.He covered his face with a black mask as his hands were holding a knife. Gulping hard, I stepped back as he moved closer to me. "Is he coming to kill me?" I assumed.Stepping back again, my back clasped with the wall as I sweated.Horrified, I shut my eyes when he was about to stab me with the knife.Squinting, I felt a touch as I peeked with my half-opened eyes.Glancing back, I saw Han Shuo murmuring in pain. "HAN SHUO!!"Holding him in my arms, I looked into his eyes as he was about to close his eyes. "Keep your eyes open, Han Shuo." Tears formed in my eyes when the man again moved to me. But out of nowhere, someone appeared as he kicked him, pushing him out of the way. Lifting my chin, I gazed at the ma
CHAPTER 14 - Past or present?Xingyue's POVWalking out of the kitchen, I went near the dining table as I glanced at my phone. My eyes widened as I choked in the air. "Li Yubing?"Squinting my eyes, I cleared my voice as I picked the call.Me: Hello, Yubing. Long time no call or text.Yubing: I'm sorry, Xing. I didn't take care of you well. I failed to be an ideal boyfriend. But I promise once I come back, all my attention will be on you.Gazing down, I pressed my lips, assuming. "I don't know, Yubing. Will I be waiting for you or not?"Taking a deep gasp, I replied to him.Me: Focus on your business. We'll talk once you come back, okay?Yubing: Deal, Xing. I love you.As he said those words, it frowned on my spot as I wiggled.Me: Hmm! I'm hanging now, bye.Hanging the call, I exhaled noisily through my pursed lips when he asked. "What's wrong? Is there something
CHAPTER 15 - Visiting his familyAuthor's POVThe next day shone brighter than yesterday. Taking a leave from the hospital, Xi Song went to meet his mom along with Xingyue. "What do you think? Why do they want to meet us?" Keeping his intense look on the face, he replied. "I don't know. She didn't tell me anything."Nodding her head, they walked inside the place, which seemed exceptionally royal. With her mouth partially opened, she turned her gaze around. "Wow! What a place? I felt like I'm in a castle." Sneering at her, he stepped ahead when his mom noticed them. Waving her hand in the air, she shouted. "XI SONG, XINGYUE!! My babies are back."Wincing on a sudden voice rise, she glanced at Xi Song as he directed her. "She's my mom." Placing a hand on her mouth, she quickly planted her lovely smile while bowing to her. "Good morning, Aunt."Pulling her into a hug, she replied. "Call me mom, dearie. Y

Something else seemed written in the fate. Was there a spark between the two hearts? Or was there something that kept them together?Hearing the news of their marriage, both their faces turned pale.Both were fighting in the battle of mind and heart. Concerned, Xingyue said. "Mom, isn't it too fast? I mean, we don't know each other till now."Passing her glares, her mom stood up, arguing with her. "You know each other enough. I'm doing it for your sake, Xingyue. You're already 24 years old. How long do you want to wait for him? Huh?"As her mom started shouting at her, it made the situation more embarrassing for her. "MOM, STOP IT," she yelled.Her mom's anger was on top of the next level
Chapter 17 - Untold feelings yet to discoverXia Na's POVWith my half-lidded eyes, I crossed my arms and asked. "Ling Xiao? What are you doing here?"Sliding his tongue near his inner cheek, he scoffed. "Shouldn't I ask this to you? You're standing in my home and asking me this."Narrowing my eyes, I confirmed with him. "Wait, do you live here too?"Rolling his eyes, he replied to me in his deep, husky voice. "Or else? Who do you think Mr. Ling will be?"Recalling his last surname, I slapped myself mentally. "Yeah, you're the owner of this large residence, Mr. Ling.""Don't call me the owner. It's from my dad. I never earn much to mark it mine." Taking a deep sigh, he walked nearer to the couch as I quietly followed him. "What do you mean? Your dad's residence is also yours."Scoffing at me, he took a seat as I sat beside him too. "Not until you understand Ling's family terms and conditions. They al
