Chapter 90 - The Affectionate Yifeng
"Jin, why do you think those I love so much always leave me. Take my mum and dad as an example. I watched them burn to ashes without being able to save them not to talk of....." Yifeng felt too emotional to speak. This incident opened up the deep scars he fought for so long to erase from his memory. He loathed being abandoned by those he loved. Through those incidents he got to know that those left behind are the most hurt and heartbroken during such a painful separation.
"Do you think I was cursed to watch all the people I love die in my presence?" Yifeng asked. He was a man of strong-will but his confidence shattered watching the woman he liked so much almost die in his arms.
"Feng, stop spewing nonsense. You know what you just said is not true. Stop blaming yourself for what happened. I am sure Miss Yang would not want you to behave like this, so pull yourself together. She is not dead, so stop mourning over her," Su Jin assured, tapping his shoulders. He knew Yifeng was not solely sad because of what happened to Yang Zi, but because Yang Zi's case made him recall his deceased loved ones.
Just when Yifeng wanted to talk again, his phone rang. He did not even allow Wen Min to finish talking before he hurried upstairs.
"Yifeng, she still hasn't regained consciousness, so I suggest we take her to the hospital before her condition worsens," Wen Min suggested. Before she spoke, she made sure she kept a safe distance away from her unstable cousin, seeing that he got very irritated by whatever she said. She quickly signalled Su Jin to bail her out when she saw Yifeng stare daggers at her. She vowed to deal seriously with Su Jin since he refused to save her from her cousin.
"Feng, what Wen Min said is correct. She needs medical attention, so let's take her to the hospital rather than waiting for a miracle for her to wake up," Su Jin supported. Yifeng deadly glares softened a bit when he thought about the points the both of them made.
"But she assured me she will be alright after a hot bath," Yifeng mumbled. He took a second glance at the pale Yang Zi in front of him. He instantly decided to listen to them.
"Both of you should get the car ready. I will bring her downstairs in a jiffy," Yifeng ordered. They didn't wait for him to say more before they exited the room.
"Just wait until you wake up. I will pester you till you get tired of my pestering," Yifeng said, touching her face. It was when he touched her face he realised that she was running a fever.
"Damn it!" Yifeng cursed. He instantly carried her on his body and made to leave. But Yang Zi's weak voice brought back light into his life.
"Taking me to the hospital is useless. As I have told you before my condition is psychological so there won't be able to solve my problem. They will just give me a fever reducing medicine and a sleeping pill. I particularly hate the smell of the hospital, so let's just stay, hmm?" Yang Zi said weakly before she fell asleep again. Yifeng was lost at what to do. After contemplating for three minutes, he went along with Yang Zi's suggestions. He didn't even bother to inform the two people waiting for him downstairs that he changed his mind. Wen Min was furious when Yifeng did not come out, even after they waited for him for about twenty minutes. Wen Min barged into the room, fuming.
"Yifeng, what do you think you are....,"
"Ssshhhh....," Yifeng quickly cut her short. He signalled her to keep quiet so she won't wake the sleeping Yang Zi up. Since they were not there when Yang Zi woke up, Wen Min thought Yifeng lost has lost his damn mind. She just swallowed back her complaints and stared at him pitifully. Apart from Li Chen and Chairman Li, this was the first time she saw Yifeng care so much about someone. The way he pampered the sick Yang Zi made her think twice about her earlier words to Su Jin.
Yifeng continued wiping off the sweat from Yang Zi's face with the clean towel and water he brought from the bathroom. Su Jin and Wen Min stared at him in their various seats as he took care of the woman who despised him so much.
"Feng, are you sure that it is alright for us to leave her this way?" Su Jin asked worriedly when he saw Yang Zi shiver profusely. He thought they made the mistake of not sending her to the hospital.
"I am sure she will be fine. I already gave her a fever relieving medicine so let's just wait and see," Yifeng mentioned, his attention still on what he was doing.
"Ok, but Feng, how about you leave Miss Yang to us and rest a bit? You are also not fine so you need to rest. Wen Min and I will take good care of Yang Zi so you can be rest assured," Su Jin advised. He stood up and walked to Yang Zi's bedside, where Yifeng was sitting down with the wet towel in his hands.
"I am fine. The one who is ill is Yang Zi, not me, so you don't have to worry about me. What is the use of saying I should rest when I won't be able to close my eyes knowing that Yang Zi is like this," Yifeng replied, trying to force a smile on his face. He placed the towel on her forehead and grabbed hold of her hand. Su Jin could see the sadness in his eyes as Yifeng caressed Yang Zi's hand affectionately. "Jin, it's getting late, both of you should go to bed so you will be able to coordinate our employees for our departure tomorrow," Yifeng added.
"Miss Yang is so blessed to have someone like you by her side. I hope she will see your sincerity towards her after she wakes up. Take care of yourself. Don't deprive yourself of sleep or you might really fall ill," Su Jin commented, tapping him on his right shoulder.
