CHAPTER 8: Is He Still Breathing?

"How is the patient?" Is he still breathing?" Tim, one of the trusted guards of Ling asks the doctor anxiously.

"His condition is now stable and the operation was successful but he is under the watchful eyes of our experience doctors" the doctor said with assurance as Tim sigh in relief.

"Please excuse me" the doctor leaves the door making way for Tim.

He dials a number;

"Tell boss that Mr. Yon's condition is now stable and promising" he said casually.

"Sure!" he hangs up the call and look at Mr. Yon through the transparent glass with a smirking expression.

"Masters, welcome" Old Sung ushers Ling and Jon into the living room with a smile "Ding!" the elevator made a sound making Ling and Jon anxious and alert.

"Who is here?" Ling asks anxiously.

"It's --- she ---"Old Sung stammers in fear making the culprit to walk out of her hideout confidently.

"Hubby" she said with a small smile.

"Loa?" Ling and Jon said together in astonishment.

"For the past two months or so, mistress Ling has been in this building without your notice master" Old sung said out of fear.

"Loa!" Jon calls again with disbelief as Loa approach Ling who was standing at a distance speechless.

"Hubby?" she hold his hand softly unknown to her Ling was weak thus making him to collapse on the sofa.

"Hubby!"

"Hubby?"

"Ling?"

"Bro!"
"Master!"

They tried to wake him up but to no avail as Old Sung hurries to call the family doctor with the land line.

"Please Mr. Ling needs rest as he has high fever and is very weak" the doctor said politely to Loa and Jon.

"I will give Old Sung some prescription" the doctor added and leaves the bedroom while Loa sit closer to Ling on the bed.

"You really stress him out, you know –"Jon said sadly after a brief silence and Loa nods slowly in response.

"You can go to bed, I will take care of Ling" Jon insists but his request was barred.

"Don't worry Jon, you need rest too. I will take care of him" she said sadly as she walk into the bathroom and comes back with a bowl containing water and clean white towel.

"I will leave him to you then" Jon said with a quick smile and leaves the bedroom.

Loa squeeze the towel and place it on the forehead of Ling.

"Please be alright" she whispers softly as she uses the duvet to cover his body tightly.

The next morning Ling wakes up at an unusual hour and sees Loa asleep beside him, he beam and sit upright watching her closely and quietly.

"I have searched everywhere for you, unknown to me you were right under my nose" he mutters softly as Loa open her eyes slowly.

"Hubby?" she stand up and sit on the bed quickly while Ling's expression changes to a tough one.
