Chapter 2

In the rain a young man in his late teens was running. He didn't know where he was running but he kept on going, his expensive suit was drenched in the rain but he paid no heed. Tripping on a small crack in the pavement, he fell into a muddy puddle.

"Why, why, why!"

The young man continuously muttered as his voice was getting louder and louder. Hitting his fist continuously against the pavement his voice got more and more desperate.

"Be quite, some people are trying to sleep. You're bothering the neighbourhood!"

Someone in a house shouted in annoyance through a window to the young man.

The young man did not keep quiet, instead he started to laugh maniacally. He didn't know where to go, he's been abandoned. The person whom he loved and thought he could trust betrayed him.

The man himself wasn't a good person. He looked down on the weak and worshipped the strong, just like the rest in his circle. But he was stupidly naive thinking he had nothing to fear, thinking things will go his way in the end, these thoughts made him a down right fool.

His eyes were helpless and lost. Regretting his life choices was all that he could do now. Liquid trickled down his cheeks, it was not evident if the liquid was either tears, rain or maybe both. He was drenched in the rain that had continuously poured onto him, hitting him without mercy, belittling him like the person he was.

The young man lifelessly strolled the streets, not paying attention to anything around him, he wandered aimlessly not noticing a car quickly speeding towards him.

Without a short of notice the car crashed into the young man. The impact pushed the young man back, flying towards bags of trash which more or less softened the blow.

It was a hit and run.

The car that had hit the young man speed of. The young man looked at the speeding car, as it got smaller and smaller and his vision getting blurrier.

"Ahhhh, someone got hit with a car, call the police, call the ambulance!"

A passerby who saw the whole accident screamed. The young mans consciousness slowly faded away as the darkness quickly took over him. In the darkness of his consciousness he didn't care anymore he just wanted to die not wanting to breath another breath in the world he was born into...

_____________________

Everything was dark, and he could blarley breath. The eunuch felt pain all over his body, the pain was much worse then the time when he newly entered the palace, and accidentally knocked over a flower vase a concubine had liked. Which resulted in him being punished with 20 strokes and his allowance being cut in half for the rest of the year, because of that accident he could barely walk for 3 days.

In the background he heard sobbing noises, but he paid no heed. He was sure he was dead since one of the royal guards sliced him in the neck, no man could survive their head being decapitated from their body.

He thought maybe he was in the afterlife, but was the after life supposed to feel like this?As he tried to move his body, pain washed over him.

Amidst the darkness he could hear voices.

"Doctor he's alive, I saw him move!"A woman's desperate yet hopeful voice could be heard.

"Miss my condolences, but he has already passed on into the afterlife, you must let him pass on."

"No, you must check again!"

Hearing the noises, he wasn't entirely sure he was died now. As he tried to peer open his eyes he saw a beautiful woman looking down on him, with teary eyes and a pained expression. Was she a goddess?Was he really died? The shocked eunuch thought as he stared back at her.

The doctor beside the woman was shocked, stunned, and scared. The patient's heart stopped around half an hour ago, in no doubts did he not think that the young man was not dead.

Previously when the doctor was operating the young man, he thought that there was no hope in saving him. Even if there was any hope left it would have disappeared when the young man's heart stopped beating many minutes ago.

His cells were supposed to stop functioning after 10 minutes, when the heart stopped beating for around 4-6 minutes. Since the young man's heart stopped beating for more then half an hour, he was certainly supposed to be dead.

The doctor thought if this wasn't a miracle then it would be a dream and if it wasn't then it would have been the start of the zombie apocalypse.

Preferably he hoped it was the first or second occurrence.

As the doctor tried to calm himself down with the sudden change of advent, the beautiful woman's teary eyes lit up in joy.

Before she could celebrate and embrace the young man, he had tiredly closed his eyes like he never even opened them in the beginning.

The eunuch had in fact fainted from the pain after using all his strength to open his eyelids.

"Doctor, check on him!"The woman frantically called the doctor, afraid that his heart would suddenly stop beating once again and he would really die this time. The surprised doctor hurriedly checked on his heartbeat, to see if he was okay.

"He's fine miss, his heart is still beating. He must have just fainted, we must give him some rest, will you be staying with him?"

"No, I...."

Before the woman could say anything more she bit her lips. Looking at her injured nephew she felt really guilty, he looked very much like her younger sister but of course a bit more masculine. Ming Yin really did want to stay with her nephew but she had many documents to fill at work, after weighing the two choices and possibilities, looking at her injured nephew she decided that she would stay with him.
