Yibo POV

I woke up trying to open my eyes but my eyelids felt a little too heavy, I struggled again and my eyes opened. "There you are." I heard a woman say but I was too baffled by the strange room I was in "Where am I?" I asked my voice sounding coarse.

I shifted and pain shot through my entire body "Ow" I said lying still again "Be careful, we have to get some food into your system before we give you painkillers." The woman said but I didn't know what she was talking about. Then I noticed all the hospital equipment, I was in a hospital.

"Why am I in a hospital?" I asked with slight alarm "You were hit by a van, the doctor say you are very fortunate, you didn't sustain any serious injuries." The lady said, "You don't remember?" I shook my head "Well that'll explain why my entire body is sore." I said and she smiled at me. 

"Don't worry about the loss of memory, its only temporary. Everything will come back when the sedatives wear off completely." She said and I nodded. She then started taking my blood pressure "Oh a woman named Meng Ziyi was here yesterday, she said to tell you she'll be back as soon as she can." She said and I nodded.

"So was that husband of yours. A friend of mine said he stayed the whole night. He must've been pretty shaken up." She said and I stared in shock. "Zhan was here?" I asked stunned; he came to see me? Did he stay the night?

She nodded "Oh is that his name? Suits him." She said, "He's quite a sight, I'm green with envy." She said playfully. I was the last person who needed a reminder about Zhan's attributes. "W- where is he? Is he here?" I asked still shocked.

"Oh no, he left really early. Is there somewhere he has to be?" she asked and bitter disappointment quickly replaced the shock. Yes, as far away from me as possible I thought.

"I'm not sure, but he's a workaholic." I said lamely and she nodded. How could I delude myself into thinking him being here means he still cares? He hates you remember? I thought pathetically. He probably didn't even want to be here, but they called him because legally he's still my husband. I wondered how much longer I had to call him that.

"Are you okay? You in pain?" She asked and I shook my head, not the kind of pain she was referring to. She finished doing her little tests with me "We're looking good, Doctor Jenson will be with you shortly." She said, "I'll see about your breakfast," she added and I thanked her then she walked out.


I finished eating and they gave me painkillers that numbed the throbbing soreness, but I felt even better when I saw Ziyi come into the room. She smiled at her and I did as well, "You have no idea how happy I' am to see you with your eyes open." She said carefully hugging me "It seemed like you'd never wake up." She added sitting on the chair beside the bed. 

"Don't ever scare us like that again." She said and I grimaced "I'll try my hardest." I said, "The nurse told me you were here yesterday." "Yeah, I was with Zhan too. He's the one who called me," she said and I just nodded.

"I don't know what to make of him being here." I said "It means he cares." She said; I shook my head. "Or that he wanted to finish the van's job." I said and Ziyi frowned, "Did those sedatives get into your brain, because you're talking crazy," She said and I slightly smiled at her mock anger.

She eyed me for a while "How are you feeling?" she asked, "I'm fine, I guess." I said slightly shrugging "I still can't wrap my head around all of this." I added gesturing at me being in a hospital.

"But I remember being on that road watching my impending doom and thinking about moving. I knew if I didn't I'd die, all I could think about was Zhan and my kids, what a sad memory I'd leave them with." I said.
