Timeless Love [ YiZhan FF ] ✔

Chapter 17

" I promise to be with your forever and ever Zhan ~ " Yibo's voice echoed through Zhan's ear, as he stretched his hands to reach his hands, it moved further away from him " Yibo ! Yibo ! Yibo ~ " Zhan called his name, but it was as though Yibo was dissolving in thin air, all Zhan could see was Yibo's smile, his eyes moist Zhan tried to catch Yibo but it was too late Yibo was gone already. " YIBO! " Zhan woke up from his nightmare, since he had come back to his Dad's house he been getting these nightmares once again. Zhan woke up as he sat straight and wiped the tears off his eyes. He didn't want anyone to feel concerned, especially his father, so he refreshed himself and went downstairs to make the breakfast.

Zhan hummed as he made his breakfast, as he was making the breakfast, he looked out the window as the street had the familiar memories of his childhood and most of them had somehow connected with Yibo, he decided not to think about them, but even though he decided upon it. Face of Yibo flashed on his mind with the cold expression Yibo looked at him on he day he was leaving Yibo's house. Zhan was helpless as to what to do on trying to get back his memories. But just then it occurred to him " What if he doesn't want to remember me ? " his thoughts stuck upon this question while his hands were busy cooking.

Zhan's dad walked inside the kitchen sitting down at the diner table, Zhan sensed his father coming as he smiled immediately " Good morning baba ~ " his dad laughed to know Zhan hadn't even turned but sensed that he had come there " Morning Zhan " his father sat back taking his phone out " You know, you don't have to cook, you can take rest and you should take rest " Zhan smiled " Its alright baba, I haven't been home for a long time, let me take care of you guys " Zhan said placing the breakfast on the table, his dad smiled eating the breakfast, while Zhan continued looking out of the window. His dad looked at him and smiled as he continued eating.

" So what if we try to induce the memory ? " a voice echoed through the doctor's room asking many questions, while the doctor nodded at the possibility in her questions " I mean you can try it, but then again, it will... " this time the woman banged her hand over the table and asked in an angry tone " I don't care if he is in pain, I just want him to not remember him at all ! " she said in a demanding voice, the doctor was taken back a bit " If... If you want go ahead " hearing the doctor say this she got out of the place happily smiling. 

Paul who had the evening shift in the hospital, saw his mother come out of the doctor's room, not any doctor, but Yibo's doctor's room, he was hesitant as to why she had come there then putting two and two together, he knew why she might have visited him. Paul walked towards her and reached close to her , before calling her out, he did stop and think how he would approach her " Mama ~ " Paul called her in high voice but in a soft way, she turned back, but her expression was that of a surprise, it was as though she had been caught of a crime. " Paul, you have an evening shift today ? " she asked worried sweating all over.

Paul narrowed his eyebrows as he noticed her reactions " Yeah I do mama~ But what are you doing here? In Dr. Han's room ? " she patted hi shoulder " Here to ask about Yibo's condition " she nodded her head, but Paul knew she was lying " Oh is that true ? " she nodded her head once again, she looked at her phone and pretended as though she was in a hurry " I have to go now, see you for the dinner ~ " she smiled waving him goodbye, while Paul walked back.

Paul knew his mother would do anything in not to let Yibo regain is memories about Zhan, he went back to his room worried what his mother might do next, except driving Yibo crazy last night about the whole Zhan situation. Zhan didn't know about this, but the morning of the accident Yibo had a big fight with his mom after she had found out that Yibo was going to ask Zhan to marry him in the states after they had plans to move there. But she was furious and had a big argument. Yibo couldn't take it anymore and he had left the house in anger and even more sad news hit him when he had got a phone call from his own hospital that Zhan and Yibo had got admitted there after an accident.

Paul sighed thinking about the two lovers story, they had gone through so much, only to meet this kind of end. " I'll do everything in my power to help you both out, but I don't know what more games will fate play with you both " Paul sighed resting his head upon his table as he was tired due to lack of sleep because he had been working day and night just for Yibo to regain his memory.

" Should I call him ? " Yibo was in his room, more specially on his bed watching TV, even though his eyes  were busy, his mind was occupied by Zhan, he wanted to call him, but for some reason when he would pick up his phone, he would decide not to call him. He still was confused with all that was going around him, but he knew for one thing, that Zhan had major part of his mind occupied. He sighed throwing his phone on the bed and decided it was best not to think about it and watch TV. 

After a few minutes he looked over his phone when he heard it rang, jumping at it at the first ring he looked over the phone excitedly, but sighed seeing the number which he didn't expect  " Hello Yeifei ~ " he nodded his head at her words as they both continued to talk. As the night passed, Yibo talked to her while laughing at her jokes and this way, he had dozed off.

Over the other end, Zhan who had finished all his chores at his dad's house, sat on the bed taking his phone out, he would be staying here for a day or two more seeing the poor condition of the house that his dad had maintained. It sure was tiring but it did help him take his mind out of the topics that had been troubling him lately.

He took his phone out to see if anyone had called him, except a bunch of missed calls from Paul and his employees, he didn't have the call that he was expecting, Zhan decided to call Yibo anyway as he didn't want to wait till Yibo call him. He took his phone out and dialed Yibo's number "  Maybe he's talking to someone else ~ " Zhan said hearing the machine say his line was busy. But even after an hour later when Zhan, he still couldn't reach Yibo " Is he avoiding me now ? " Zhan sighed placing the phone beside him, as he looked at the phone rolling over to the other side, he was out of words to express what he was feeling.

Looking out of his window, he sighed once again " What should I do, if he doesn't ever remember me ? " he blinked in confusion thinking of the worst possibility  to which he wasn't prepared mentally to face it " Yibo ~ " he called his name one again in a soft but low tone as if his name was too fragile to be called, but the only fragile thing in that room was Zhan's heart which had been enduring too much pain at the point of it getting broken anytime now.
