Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Arriving at the Imperial's Union Hospital, Yue Ling learned that this private hospital is own by the Ye family. Ye Zhongwei is a doctor there as his father is the Head Doctor. She wasn't surprised when Lu Tian said that Ye Zhongwei's younger sister and cousin also works here.

Stepping out of the car, Yue Ling went inside first to sign in while she made Lu Tian drove the car to find a parking spot. She wasn't sure if the wait would be long, so it was better to sign them in.

As she enters the private hospital, she was taken back by surprise at how empty it was. Usually hospitals are packed, but it's 2pm and yet, the place is empty with no one in sight.

Brushing the thought away, she continues to walk towards the sign in table. After signing her name on the chart, she turns to sit on a chair.

"Did they call you in?"

Lu Tian's voice sound as he enters the private hospital. His voice and demeanor looked calm, but if one were to look closely one would the small sweat on his forehead like he had ran like his life depended on it.

"I just signed in."

Yue Ling chuckles at how silly the man can be sometimes. She reach an arm to pull him down to sit and leans in to whisper to him.

"Is it just me or it's strange that we are the only ones here?"

Hearing her suspicious question, Lu Tian softly chuckles and pinch her nose.

"I booked the place for us."

"Eh?"

Yue Ling's eyes widen in surprise as she moves back to look at the man. However, she furrow her brows and purse her lip at him.

"Why would you do that? What if someone has an emergency?"

Lu Tian looks at his wife then shrug his shoulders, "Well, they'll have to go to a different hospital."

However, seeing his wife's face suddenly turn into a chipmunk in disapproving, he sighs inside and wrap an arm around her shoulder.

"Ye family has another adjoining hospital behind this one, I only booked this side for us. Other patients are being treated at the other one."

He had to do it like this because she is not only a retired model, but also a well-known designer. If others were to see her here, speculations will surface, and he isn't sure if she wants others to know.

"Tian? Why are you here?"

Suddenly a woman's soft voice sounds from a distance. Both Yue Ling and Lu Tian turn to look at the person.

It was a young woman in a white doctor's coat walking up to them. She had dark hair but tied in a ponytail. Her eyes stares at Lu Tian with a glistening look of someone who admires the man.

However, when Lu Tian slightly moved and showed Yue Ling sitting next to him, she slightly stumbled in her steps.

Steadying herself, her smile disappeared, but only for a quick second as it returned to normal. She stops in front of the two people and force a smile.

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Tian looks at the woman and then to his wife. Helping her stand up, he part his lip to speak.

"Yue Ling, this is Ye Zhongwei's younger sister, Ye Ju-Hsin."

He looks to Ye Ju-Hsin with a polite nod and his words continue.

"This is my wife, Han Yue Ling."

Yue Ling smiles to the woman in greeting with a slight nod. Though she had no intentions in doing so, she could read the expression written on the woman's face.

It was the face of someone who suddenly meets their childhood crush's new girlfriend.

Ye Ju-Hsin at this moment kept her smile, but deep down she was fuming with rage and jealously.

She has known Lu Tian her entire life and never seen him with a woman besides his mother and cousin. Yet, here he is, at her workplace with a woman!

However, she cannot reveal these thoughts, or he will have a bad impression of her.

Her smile widens and she reach her hand out to Yue Ling.

"Ah, I see. It's a honor to meet the soul designer of De L'amour, Han Yue Ling. Please call me Dr. Ye."

Yue Ling does not find the woman's inner thoughts a threat. She takes the woman's hand and smiles back.

"Please call me Designer Han."

Since the woman wanted Yue Ling to call her in a formal way, it should only be fair to be called in the same manner too.

Just as Yue Ling shook her hand, Ye Ju-Hsin sneer inside and added more strength in her grip. However, what she did not know was that it was a wrong move of hers.

Who was Yue Ling again?

That's right, she is a woman who never backs down from a gun fight.

Feeling the tight grip around her hand, Yue Ling scoffs a soft chuckle and decides to return the favor. Her smile was so pure that Lu Tian did not find any reason behind it but friendliness.

"Ah…"

Ye Ju-Hsin wince in pain as Yue Ling's grip was a lot stronger than hers. She quickly pulls her hand away knowing that any longer and she was sure her bones would break.

Her eyes glare murderously at Yue Ling as if wanting to stab her to death for what she did.

For a lousy model and designer, how dare she (Yue Ling) try to hurt her (Ye Ju-Hsin). However, she takes a deep breath and turn to look Lu Tian.

"Why are you both here?"

Yue Ling sighs inside and lightly shook her head. Indeed women are scary when they are jealous.

Except, one should never judge a book by it's cover. She may be a model and designer on the outside, but inside, she can be your worst nightmare.

So what if Ye Ju-Hsin is a doctor, her hal-abeoji was a famous doctor for the underworld who taught her the ins and outs of the medical world.

Oblivious to the short interaction between the two women, Lu Tian glance around as if looking for someone.

"We have an appointment with your brother. Is he busy with other patients?"

Hearing this, Ye Ju-Hsin reach an arm to hold Lu Tian's arm in a playful, yet friendly gesture.

"My brother left to see a patient. I can see you two for your appointment."

However, the moment she was about to touch Lu Tian, his brows furrow and he takes a step behind his wife. His visible movement was as if he was going to catch a plague and his wife was the only barrier able to save him.

Yue Ling: "…"

Ye Ju-Hsin: "…"

Seeing this, Yue Ling press her lips tightly to hold back her smile, but Ye Ju-Hsin was the complete opposite. Her expression turned bitter at how Lu Tian moved away without giving her any face.

Although this was her first time to do such a thing, she thought that since he was with Yue Ling, other women being near him would not be a problem.

They have known each other since they were kids, so how could he embarrass her like this?

"Doctor Ye, what are you doing?"

From behind, another woman's voice interrupts the three people in the waiting area.

Turning to look, it was a woman wearing thick frame glasses and a short Bob haircut. She was also wearing a doctor's coat, but she didn't give the same aura as Ye Ju-Hsin.

Anyone who sees her would think she looked like Edna from the movie Incredibles, but a prettier version.

She walks up to them and stops beside Ye Ju-Hsin. Looking at Yue Ling and Lu Tian, she ignores the woman with a jealousy look.

"Are you here for Ye Zhongwei's 2pm appointment?"

Yue Ling looks at the new woman with a nod of her head and decides to ignore Ye Ju-Hsin too. At least someone knows how be professional when they are on the job.

"I am Ye Xiaotong. Ye Zhongwei just stepped out to see a patient. Please come this way, I will be your doctor for today."

Following after the new doctor, Yue Ling and Lu Tian turned a blind eye to Ye Ju-Hsin like she was never there.

Neither has time to deal with the woman because they came for a prenatal visit and it was more important than some woman's feelings.

Watching the three people leave, Ye Ju-Hsin was still fuming with rage and jealousy.

Lu Tian had never been involved with any woman and she was fine because it meant she still has a change. However, when she read online that he was in a relationship with Han Yue Ling, she felt even more jealous.

She is a woman with great looks herself, but when compare to the model, she was like dirt for Yue Ling to step on.

Thinking this, she scoffs inside and heads in the opposite direction the three people went.

She knows how Ye Xiaotong is and if she were to follow, the woman, despite them being cousins will lash at her for not being professional as a doctor.
