The curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window was drawn open by strong, yet slender hands. The rain that was pouring since morning finally started ceasing. At the end of the sky where earlier used to be dark clouds finally showed some tinge of warm orange from the slanting rays of the setting sun. The residual raindrops on the crystal-clear glass emitted a deep feeling of loneliness.

"Sean, the dusk today is mesmerizing. I wish you could see this." Ryman wiped his hand on the glass, wiping out the condensed dropped which was formed on the inner side of the window. Nevertheless, the raindrops on the outer surface remained untouched. It has been three months since that incident in China.

Sean suddenly collapsed in that strange house and by the time Ryman found it, he had already entered into a deep slumber. No matter how he tried, Sean's mind refused to respond. A sudden coma left everyone speechless to the point where Ryman had no other option than to call Sean's father. Boarding the earliest flight, both mother and father rushed to see their son.

However, as they entered the ICU, they saw Sean smiling in his sleep. He was dreaming, or perhaps he was recollecting something which was too important to him. Looking at his condition, his father initiated the process of the transfer of his son's medical case to their hospital. Since he was a well know neurosurgeon around the world, the hospital had no issues in transferring the patient details. It took them two days to bring Sean back to Albany.

Looking at Sean's sleeping face Ryman could not make out what dream that guy was having right now. He can only make out if the dream is good or not. If it is a good one, a smile appears on Sean's lips, whilst if it's like a nightmare, his tears slither down freely without any restraints of those closed eyelids.

Busy looking at Sean's face, Ryman did not notice when the third person entered the VIP suite of the hospital. Bella kept a bag of takeout on the table before walking towards Ryman.

It took Wang Yibo a longer than usual time to recover from the injuries. After getting discharged from the hospital he walked back to Lin Jin's room alone. These past few days other than checking on his health, Chen Xiao did not meddle with his business anymore. Jing Qin was also nowhere to be seen in the past few days. Wang Yibo wasn't sure if Jing Qin was out on a mission or if he was just avoiding him these past few days.

As Wang Yibo walked on through the bustling market area of this town, he kicked a stone that was lying on his way. Something was off, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong with whom. He hasn't been in his room for several days, so the grocery needs to be stocked again as the old one probably wouldn't be in the condition of using for cooking. Thinking about this, he ambled towards his usual grocery store where he finds everything that he needs.

Greeting the owner of the shop he asked for veggies, fish, and some eggs. For a week or two he still cannot eat heavy meals as his abdominal injuries were yet to heal completely. Looking at the familiar face of the young lad, the old boss commented, "Aiyoo, Lin Jin where have you been for these days?"
