Prologue 2

After 2 years

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Surrounded by the machines, Qin Tian was lying on the hospital bed. Many nurses and doctors were surrounding her, continuously monitoring her critical condition.

Each breath was like piercing glasses for her. Her pulse rate was very weak. If not for the machines, anyone would assume her to be dead.

No, I can't die like this…not when I have so many things which I want to tell him!

Not when I was to spend my future with him.

I wove so many beautiful dreams of my future with him, so how can I die now?

I am sorry love; I am dying like this…I am going away from your life like this...I am sorry for leaving you with the last memory of our fight…. I am sorry for going away with our unborn child…I am sorry…!

I am sorry for fighting with you, for not trusting you...I am sorry…please forgive me…! I will pray to meet you in our next lives….

"Doctor, doctor, the patient is having another cardiac arrest." A nurse yelled for the attention of the doctor when she noticed her unstable heart rate of Qin Tian.

Immediately, doctors came to her rescue and an ECG was performed on her, with the hope to save her.

"Wu, Wu, what will I do if she dies?"

Outside the emergency ward of Qin Tian, a girl in her early twenties was crying bitterly while hugging her boyfriend. Traces of fear and guilt were visible on her face.

"I shouldn't have tried to drive a car. If not for my driving, that girl would not have come under my car. What will I do if she dies because of coming under my car?"

Zhou Bingbing sobbed and looked up at her boyfriend, Kris Yang.

"Silly girl, how many times do I have to tell you that she is not in this condition because of you? You applied the brakes before the car collided with her. I am sure this girl was a victim of some other tortures. It is her good luck that she came in front of your car. You are not behind this condition of hers. Now, stop crying."

He gently removed her tears and tried to console her.

"She is lucky to come in front of your car. At least, this way, she is getting the much-needed treatment. Otherwise, who knows in which corner she was going to die."

Soon after, the father of Zhou BingBing, Zhou Yonge arrived at the hospital. Looking at him, Zhou Bingbing immediately threw herself in his arms.

"Father, nothing will happen to her right?"

"Nothing will happen to her."

"Promise?"

"Promise, I will appoint the best doctors for her."

Zhou Yonge already knew about the accident from his secretary. He knew his daughter was not at fault, he also knew that his daughter had a weak heart. She could not see anyone dying in front of her eyes, especially after her mother's death. That's why he promised her that he'd save this stranger girl.

When the doctor came out of the emergency room, Zhou Yonge walked toward him. "Doctor, how is that girl?"

"Mister Zhou."

The doctor immediately recognised the man in front of him and why not? Zhou corporations was one of the top conglomerates of England with its business spread throughout the world. They owned many malls, hospitals, hotels, and many other businesses under their name. The face of Zhou Yonge appeared on the face of business magazines from time to time.

"This girl has suffered many injuries. She has suffered many internal injuries and broken bones. If my speculation is correct, someone kidnapped her before inflicting torment on her. There are many cuts and torn marks on her skin which is not a work of any sane person, nor some accident."

"I must say, she is lucky to have arrived at the hospital at the right time. Otherwise, she'd have died a torturous death."

"How is her condition now?" Zhou Yonge asked in a stern voice.

"For now, we can stable her condition, but we can't say anything about the future. If she will live or die depends on her willpower."

Zhou Yonge nodded his head. "Can we shift her to Zhou hospital? You know doctors there are the best."

"Not for now. It will not be safe for her to be transferred right now."

The doctor left but not before telling another news to Zhou Yonge, "She was thirteen weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, her baby was already dead."

Once the doctor was gone, Zhou Yonge walked toward the emergency room to have a look at the stranger girl. His breath hitched when his eyes fell on Qin Tian.

Zhou Yonge carefully looked at Qin Tian and could easily see some familiarities with a person who was very dear to his heart.

'How is this possible? How can she look like him?'

**

After fifteen days

"Granny, I feel so bad for that poor girl. She has suffered so badly. I don't know how she will react after knowing that she has lost her baby."

Zhou Bingbing placed her head on the shoulder of Zhang Biyu, looking sad.

"You are again started with this?" Zhou Yonge entered the living room and looked at his daughter with a stern face. Traces of anger were visible on his face.

"How many times I have asked you to not be concerned about her, instead focus on your studies? Exams are on your head and you are still thinking about her. Go to your room now and prepare for your exams."

Zhou Bingbing flinched hearing the loud voice of her father, sadness appeared on her face.

"Father, you know I don't like management and finance. They are not my cup of tea. I want to become a fashion designer."

"You also know it's not possible. You are the sole heir of the Zhou corporation. If not for you, who is going to become the next owner of our company. Now stop giving me this face and to your room, now."

Feeling dejected, she made her way toward her room. She cursed God for not giving her father another heir who could look after Zhou corporation after him.

"You should not be so strict with her." Zhan Biyu chided.

"Ma, you know, I worry about our family business." Zhou Yonge took a seat beside his mother and took her hand in his.

"Yonge, tomorrow is my monthly check-up. I was thinking of seeing that girl in the meantime."

"Ok, I will make all the arrangements."

The next day, Zhang Biyu and Zhou Yonge arrived at Zhou hospital where Qin Tian was already shifted. Zhang Biyu was curious to visit her, especially after hearing so much from Zhou Bingbing.

After her monthly check-up, they arrived in front of the VIP room of Qin Tian and entered in.

The moment Zhang Biyu looked at Qin Tian, the floor seemed to slip from beneath her feet. She stumbled back only to be supported by her son.

"Yonge…she…."

"I know, she looks so much like a big brother. But how can this be possible? How can she be related to him?"

Zhang Biyu walked toward the bed of Qin Tian and carefully observed her sleeping face, observing her familiarities with her dead son.

Her son was a secret agent working for the government. He died at a very tender age of twenty-three while serving his country.

"Yonge, you are forgetting. Your brother wanted to introduce a girl to us after his last mission. You have also seen their marriage certificate. Unfortunately, that girl went missing…. maybe…maybe…"

Zhang Biyu broke down feeling emotional. Sadness crept on her face as she remembered sad memories of her elder son.

"Yonge, find out about this girl. I want to know if she is his daughter or not!"
