Author's POV:

.

.

.

The digital clock on the wall showed digits 02:00. The VVIP corridor was packed with people even when the city outside had pulled over its pitched black blanket and had drifted into their respective dreamlands.

It had been 3 hours since the red bulb of the OT was lit up............Mr. & Mrs. Xiao along with Cheng, Ziyi and some of their personals waited outside praying only one single thing.....Zhan's well-being.

.

.

.

There were glass shards on the floor which had been broken previously by the guest Zhan met. One of the shards pierced on Zhan's back when Yibo pushed Zhan.

Zhan was not a weak man but no one was born as Ironman, someday at some point everyone had to hit their lowest. The physical fatigue conjoined with the emotional turmoil caused by Yibo's rejection and accusation ultimately 'racked and ruined' the almighty Sean Xiao Zhan.

Zhan couldn't realize that the shard had pierced his back and hurting him physically as he was too focused on the pain he was experiencing as his heart was being stabbed with each word Yibo was sprouting.

In other times Zhan could have just pulled Yibo and made him shut but the tone Yibo was using was familiar for Zhan to be sure that Yibo was not kidding or playing any games.

With each passing moment as Yibo's words went harsh after harsher......Zhan leaned back little by little allowing the physical pain to suppress the burning sensation he was feeling in his heart. For Zhan the pain from the piercing shard was working like a soothing to the pain piercing his heart.

When Yibo turned around, Zhan with all his hope called for the last time but when Yibo neither stopped nor turned....that hope scattered....the flickering flame of Zhan's archaic doused and Zhan allowed himself to sink into the darkness.

When Ziyi brought her hand in front both Cheng and Ziyi felt only horror. They checked and found the shard didn't crosscut Zhan's body so his front was unaffected where he was bleeding from back. Cheng was about to pull out the shard but Ziyi resisted.

They rushed to the hospital as soon as possible and informed others on their way.

At 2:15 am finally the red light went off and the surgeon came out only to be interrogated by a swarm having a single question.....

"How is Zhan?"

Dr.Lu informed the surgery went successful and ushered Zhan's family to follow him to his cabin.

"The operation has been successful but he is still critical....we will be observing him for next 10 hours and only then we can give our final words.

I really appreciate that you did not try to pull out the shard as that could have caused severe internal damages. We are thankful that none of his vital organs had been affected, only tissues and veins got torn. But he had severe blood loss, in addition as per his reports his body is weak.....probably he was skipping meals and sleep. So his recovery will take a little bit time.

For now we could only pray that he responds promptly for the next 10 hours.....Thank you."....................The surgeon explained

"Lu!! can we see him?".............Mr.Xiao asked

"Once we shift him into his ward, you can see him but I suggest please go one by one also I will suggest Ms.Ziyi to take rest.....in this condition you are already exposed enough......Excuse me...please"......Dr.Lu informed 

"Don't worry, he is fine!!!"...............Dr.Lu soften his professional demeanor and assured his sister who was none other than Mrs.Xiao. She clung to his brother to found little solace.

.

.

.

Next day when Dr.Lu confirmed Zhan was stable and out of danger finally everyone allowed their tears to flow down. Xiao couple finally breathed out that they were holding from last night.

 Ziyi refused to leave even after pursed by all...she didn't even react on anything....being pregnant her emotions were already vulnerable which peeked up when she saw blood on her hand.......her own best friend's blood.

Cheng was beyond frustrated upon seeing his brother's condition but he composed himself to support his family....his dad, mom and Ziyi and most importantly his gege.

Lu informed them Zhan would regain his senses in late evening.

Mrs.Xiao showed her gratitude to everyone and requested to go back but not to utter a single word to anyone outside.

They also left to freshen up and come again before Zhan woke up.
