Mending Withered Flowers

Chapter Twenty

Yibo's POV

It has been five days since the incident at the hospital. I've met and clarified everything to the Jiangs and Zoey. Surprisingly they accepted it more agreeably than I assumed. They only cautioned me not to screw up this opportunity. For Yuchen and Zhou Cheng, it's still a little inelegant. But we're patching things well after some chatter with Yubin by rings.

The last person I haven't patched things with is Zhan. His comebacks to me were zero to negative. There was no progress at all. When he first saw me at the hospital, he went lunatic. Zhan would scream and clamor at me out of his room. He even flung all the flowers I delivered him. It crumbled in my heart as all of this happened. Now and then, I could only visit him from behind the door and if he was asleep.

Only his family had at least tolerated me with open arms. Primarily Yin and Yan. They would run to me, embrace me, and have chitchat with me as if I were their family uncle. Their tactics and slight gesticulations warm my heart. Also, undisclosed to them, it supported my discovery too.

Yes, I've more or less, has discovered that Yin and Yan are mines and Zhan's biological children. I even conveyed the DNA test I privately accomplished with my medic. But I can't unveil it yet. Not until Zhan and his family are anticipatory. So, I've determined to patch things. Then I'll ask about the twins.

KNOCK!!!

KNOCK!!!

KNOCK!!!

A rash knock on my office burst me out of my trance. Glimpsing it's almost lunchtime, it must be either Li Yang or Kuan Ge. But listening to the knocking, then it must be both.

"Come in," I said while arranging files. Clearing up my table in the approach.

"Yibo." I froze as I heard the voice. Encountering his face, I'm startled.

"Zhan?" 

I can't believe my eyes. Zhan in my office. But shouldn't he be at the hospital? Yesterday, Zoey notified me that Zhan may go home in two days. Mean it's tomorrow. Then, why is he here?

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the hospital?" I sharply asked.

"You don't have to know," Zhan coldly said. 

"The hell are you talking about, Zhan?! You're not discharged yet!" I raised my voice. As much as I love him. Zhan has got to stop making people worry like this!

"How did you know?" Zhan asked back. 

"Zoey briefed me yesterday when I came by. You're supposed to be discharged in two days. It should be tomorrow, not today. You're making Xuan and the others uneasy! For fuck sake, Zhan, what were you thinking!?" I ended up roaring out.

"So it's true." Zhan's voice lowered down.

"What's true?" I asked back. With his tone like this, Zhan is in numb mode. 

"You brought me there, to Gusu Hospital. You also mentioned the others, which means you've met them." His voice shakes.

"Yeah, I brought you there and met your family, along with Yin and Yan," I firmly said as I noticed that he was shaking all over.

"Why? You could've just let me be!" Zhan raised his voice.

"Because I was worried!" I raised back.

"No, You're lying! You can't be worrying about me!" Zhan denied.

"Yes, I can! Because I love you!" I shouted back as my office door swung open.

BRAK!!

"But I messed up! I didn't realize that you were pregnant. I wasn't there for you as I should have. My father threatened me, Zhan! I had to leave, or he'll kill you! One way or another, my father won't let us be in peace! I couldn't even ask for your family! While knowing that my father would mess with them if I did!" I yelled out as my office door opened. I don't know what came over me. I just exposed everything.
