Shawn stood beside the door, looking at the busy streets with a blank look.
Just a week ago, Zeus brought him to his family home. Zeus parents even asked them when they planned to get married.
At that time, who would expect that they would break up so soon.
Betrayed by her childhood sweetheart and cheated on with his stepsister, Shawn felt like his life become a soap opera.
Shawn thought that his stepsister can seduce all men except Zeus, but it seems it's only his wishful thinking.
Only now did he realize how truly naive he was. When the reality had slapped him hard in the face.
All of a sudden, his phone rang. And Shawn immediately picked it up when he saw its from the hospital. "Hello...."
After listening to the other line, his face turn pale. He immediately hailed a cab. He didn't even knew what happened after that.
Shawn just realized that he's already running towards the hospital. His heart beating wildly. He almost fell down the stairs, but it didn't stop him.
He's brother needed him....

Down the road, a black limited edition Rolls-Royce was park inconspicuously, the driver saw Shawn rushing towards the hospital, thought for awhile then picked up his phone and make a call.
"Chairman,"
"What's the matter?" At the other end of the line, a man's cold voice said.
"I have been following the young master as per your request Chairman. It appears something has happened to his family member and he just get out of the taxi. He doesn't look good and he's very anxious. He probably has some acquaintances in the hospital. Would you like me to check for you?"
The driver would not dare to gossip usually.
This was the first time the Chairman had asked him to follow someone. And it's not just anyone. It's a guy who slept with the Chairman last night. He never imagined the Chairman had that kind of preference but now that the Chairman was putting everything to keep him safe, he's surely had a significant importance to the Chairman.
Because before him, there's no one who had taken the Chairman's interest, be it woman or a man.
The driver's line of thought were cut short when he heard the familiar voice.
"Go over and take a look."
"Yes. Chairman." Wow. He's actually right. The Chairman was probably worried with this young man to asked him this personally.

In the Hospital's lobby along the emergency room, Shawn came in frantic and anxious. When he asked about his brother's whereabouts, a doctor told him that he's brother was still in emergency room.
After an hour of waiting in despair, the close door of the operating room finally opened.
The doctors came out one after another.
Shawn hurriedly walked over, grabbed the first doctor that come out and asked, "Doctor, how was my brother?"
The doctor took off his mask, and gently said. "The patient's vital signs have stabilized, and there's no life threat for the time being."
Shawn's tears suddenly flow out, relief filled him and finally he could breathe. "So my brother was safe now, right?"
"Yes."
