Sympathy and Concern

China

Hospital

A team of doctors was treating Mrs. Shen in the ICU....and the cops were interrogating Mr. Shen about the incident. Mr. Shen told that, when he was leaving his bakery shop. At that time his wife called him and....he was heard a scary voice on the other side of the phone.

He immediately cut the call and rush toward the house. As he reached the house....ambulance was already there and they taking Mrs. Shen's body out of the house. Mr. Shen can't control himself and hugs his wife.....he was crying out of his lungs.

When a doctor come to him and said that....she was not dead yet. Her heart is still pumping and if they treat her immediately.....then she can survive. Mr. Shen wipes his tear and hurriedly take her to the hospital.

"Okay, as soon as Mrs. Shen regains consciousness, please inform the cops first. We'll be in touch!" Cops said to Mr. Shen and about to leave....just then Shenwei along with Yunlan and his in laws reaches there.

"Papa...?" Wei run and hugs his father. He crying in Mr. Shen's embrace and wanted see his mother. Mr. Shen said....she is currently being treated and no one can see her right now. "Who is he?" One officer ask to Mr. Shen "he's my son, Shenwei!"

Officer nod and left from there. "Please Wei don't crying. Mom will fine soon!" Yunlan try to console his wife and Xinci ask to Shen about the incident. Mr. Shen tell the same thing.....which he told those cops. "WeiWei?" Shenwei looked at the owner of the voice.

Dorothy standing there with moist eyes and Wei asked from her how it happened to mama. But poor lady don't know about it and....she only crying in reply. *Ahem!* Shenwei cough suddenly which get their attention "Wei...? Dear! Please breath slowly, don't cry. It's not good for you."

Mrs. Zhao became worry for Wei and his father ask what's the matter. Xinci gave him the good news.....and Mr. Shen smiles in his cries "hm..?" He ask with his eyes and Wei slowly nod. Mr. Shen hugs him dearly.....and both crying in each other embrace.

The moment was very hurtful for them. The happiness which they should have celebrated with smile....they were crying in that happiness.

Everyone had come home from the hospital in evening time. Because they could not stay in the hospital at night. One servant gave them water and asked Mr. Shen.....what should they have for dinner.

There is no appetite left to them.....but for Shenwei, he gave the order and servant go from there. Wei goes into the room without saying anything.....Yunlan knew that at this moment he was very sad. Because the happiness he wanted to share with his mother turned into sadness.

"Son? You also go and take some rest." Mr. Shen said and Yunlan looked at his parents.....they nodded and Zhao stood up "I'll show you master's room" Dorothy said and Yunlan follow her behind. They all also go to take some rest.
