“I’ve texted you and you neither answered me nor came to hospital to see me.”

Yu Fei soliloquizes and stares at Ko Chen without blinking, trying to find some special emotions. But, none.

Actually, Ko Chen conceals himself very well. Shock flickers in his eyes when he hears she has got in hospital again, and it’s too quick to be caught. But he indeed never saw any texts. He knows everything when he finds Yu Yu is ill at ease from the corner of his eyes.

It turns out someone played trick secretly.

“Ko Chen, please, say something.” Yu Fei can’t stand his indifferent attitude. How sweet they were before, and now all turns into heart-breaking pain.

“You’re annoying.” Ko Chen interrupts her impatiently and can’t look at her eyes which are full of begging. He can’t help being soft-hearted.

She is annoying? Yu Fei is dumbfounded.

Throughout all conversation she didn’t get the answer she has been looking for.

Ko Chen holds up Yu Yu’s hand and kisses it, even does something more intimate with overflowing love in his eyes, as if there were no one else around.

But, as for Yu Fei, all of this is just like a knife that keeps stabbing her heart.

In his eyes she is like air.

Silence is better than thousands of words. His behavior shows his attitude. Yu Yu’s sweet but satiric smile seems so dazzling. Yu Fei’s heart is so painful that it becomes numb.

“I know. I’ll leave right now.” Yu Fei wipes out her tears, turns and leaves.

“Yu Fei!” At the end Ko Chen can’t help shouting her name. They have been married three years, and he understands well that her calmness is feigned.

This situation makes him more worried.

Hearing him call her name, Yu Fei freezes with hope rekindled again in her eyes.

Then Ko Chen realizes he did wrong thing. His dizziness becomes worse, so he moves his eyes in haste and forces himself to be cold, “Uncle Chang has packed all your things up. Take them away.”

Yu Fei’s feet lost strength. She almost fell to the ground, staring at Ko Chen as if to make sure these words actually came from him.

“Humph!” Yu Yu sneers with arms folded over her chest, “Don’t you understand? Chen means to drive you out.”

“Shut up.” Yu Fei is intolerable, glaring at her. She feels uncomfortable when she hears the word Chen which is only used by her come from Yu Yu’s mouth.

How does she…Yu Fei is distracted. Even Ko Chen belongs to her now, and there is nothing she can’t do. Yu Fei looks down dejectedly and takes over the luggage from Uncle Chang with forced smile.

Is this necessary? Yu Fei tries to say something but Ko Chen doesn’t give her chance. He goes back to bedroom straight to avoid Yu Fei. “Madam, let me drive you home.” Uncle Chang sees they have broken up that way and feel worried. He has an itch to tell her truth now, but considers Ko Chen’s stubbornness…

“No, thanks.” Yu Fei refused Uncle Chang’s good intention with smile of alienation, and drags her luggage laboriously and leaves Ko’s home under Yu Yu’s complacent eyes.

Out of the door, Yu Fei looks up as if being cut off from the outside world for ages. She looks back to see whether someone follows her. However, there is nobody except herself.

Finally, she can’t help crying. Actually, she is not that strong as she looks. No one can rescue her when she is through this extreme predicament of fire and ice as if suffering in purgatory.

She has nothing, and even Ko Chen has left her.

The more tears, the more sadness. She squats and holds herself like a little injured animal licking its wound.

Suddenly a sound of footstep comes up, so she looks up surprisingly with two clear tear stains on her face.

“Why are you here again?”

She sees Gu Li, and the light in her eyes is gone instantly and tears trickle down again.

Gu Li touches his nose and picks her up reluctantly, saying softly, “If I don’t come, what can you do?”

His word has no effect of comforting, but makes Yu Fei cry more. She holds his neck tightly as if a drowning man were holding his last floating wood.

He takes Yu Fei into the car and drives away. Duan Tsingfeng’s car shows up after they left.

Duan Tsingfong came here at the same time with Gu Li. But seeing the crying Yu Fei he stops, so he witnessed the whole process.

There is no time for him to think for Ko Chen’s disease has aggravated and needs him to take care. This couple never makes him free from worry.

As soon as he comes into house, Uncle Chang greets him, “Mr. Duan, you finally come, Mr Ko…”

Originally Mr. Chang was ready to say that Ko Chen had fainted in the bedroom, suddenly he sees Yu Yu behind and silences and says, “He is waiting for you in the bedroom.”

“OK, I know.” From Uncle Chang’s tone, Duan perceives that the situation is not good and hurries into the bedroom

Yu Yu sees that and tries to follow in, but is stopped by Mr. Chang. She immediately gets annoyed, “what are you doing? Why don’t you let me in?”

“Master wouldn’t like you to disrupt him.” As the oldest man in this family, Uncle Chang watched Ko Chen grow up. He knows well about his thoughts.

Master likes Yu Fei so he respects and identifies with her.

As for Yu Yu who tries to break their relationship, he will not treat her well, so he commands others to take her away.

Ko Chen does not come to himself until the evening. This time is much longer than the past. Although Duan Tsingfong doesn’t tell him, he knows his body is weaker and weaker day by day.

“Where is she?” The instant he speaks, Ko Chen finds his throat is pretty dry and he almost loses his voice. Capturing the expression in his eyes, he knows and passes a glass of water to him.

“Who is she? If you mean your wife, she has left with another man. If you mean another one, she is still in the villa. Uncle Chang ordered someone to watch her.”

Ko Chen captures a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone, especially when he heard Yu Fei had left with another man. His nerve is tensed. He feels concerned that she will never come back after she leaves. But now, what qualification does he have to keep her?

If she stays, she will be hurt. Competitors in the company are still eyeing. If he fails, Yu Fei will face a group of wolves and tigers. How can he stand it?

“Maybe she doesn’t care at all, why not tell her? Or do you like you two torturing each other?” Duan Tsingfong is frustrated by Ko Chen’s depression and tries to persuade his friends to change his mind and face difficulties with his partner together.

“Don’t pull her in. At least she is safe.”

At length, it is Duan Tsingfong who is finally persuaded. Duan accepts his fate to diagnose him, and changes the subject, “you are getting worse and worse. You must go abroad to accept professional treatment with me as soon as possible.”

“What is the cure rate? I haven’t finished my work yet, so I can’t go for the time being.” Ko Chen’s lips are compressed to a hard line. It’s okay with business in the company, and he is more concerned about Yu Fei.

Ko Chen thinks of Yu Yu in his house. He thinks she will not appear after seeing her in the parking lot, however, she followed him shamelessly and tailed after him into the house.

And he was just sick, and Uncle Chang didn’t know the turns and twists of their story, but thought she is Yu Fei’s kind-hearted sister, so he didn’t drive her out.

Now he thinks he can make use of Yu Yu. Anyway, he will not let go of anyone who hurts Yu Fei.
