He stared down her head. Lena raised her arm and put her hand in front of it. "Can I touch?" Without even approving, Lena touched it. First, she poked on it like it was some exotic species, then she gently placed her entire hand on it. He could feel her warm hand on his cold body. It sent a warm tingle throughout his body. "Does it hurt?" Lena asked. "No. Pain is just an emotion in the brain. I might feel it at first, but I already learned how to avoid the pain, hiding it away." Lena stood up, standing in front of him. "Sorry I was rude. You can see mine too." "What? I don't want --" Lena lifted her shirt up a bit but he grabbed her hands to stop and pulled the shirt back down. "I don't need to see it." "But, mine's pretty. You need to see it!" "I really don't want to see it." "Are you calling it ugly too?! No it's pretty, I promise!" —————— The picture is from Pinterest... something I just grabbed for covers.

Light Bulb

Lena just finished her breakfast when there was a knock on her door. Aunt Mary went to open the door.

"Madam Li?" Lena as a bit surprised. She thought that her being in the hospital was hush hush.

"Ah… you poor thing. I heard you were in the hospital. I had to come to see you to make sure you were alright."

"Thank you."

"I bought some gifts and flowers for you." She placed them on the counter.

Aunt Mary left the room to give some space for them. However, Kris entered the room. Lena was even more surprised that he was here…

"My son also came along with me. He was quite worried about you." Madam Li smiled.

"Is that it?" Lena stared at him, trying to read his reaction. Kris was showing none. He just casually walked and sat down.

Kris turned his head sideways from Lena as he poured himself some water. At that moment, his neck was very much visible to Lena and a light bulb hit her.

'It was HIM! It has to be him! He was the only one that she had offended. Must have been from that time when she bit him!'

"Are you sick?" Madam Li asked, interrupting Lena's thought process.

"Nothing major. I should be discharged soon if my mother doesn't force me to stay here longer than what I needed."

"That's great!"

Madam Li sat next to the bed and held Lena's hand.

"My heart almost stopped when I heard you were in the hospital. I feel so guilty that you had left your bodyguard with me instead. You were so sincere about my health that you disregarded your safety."

Kris finally reacted. He did not know that Lena had left her bodyguard with his mother. He only heard that the doctor came and did a regular checkup on her yesterday. Was it not a normal checkup? He looked at Lena and then his mother.

"Are you having a relapse?" He asked his mother.

"Did you not know, your mother --" Lena spoke but Madam Li suddenly squeezed her hand a bit. Lena took it that the mom must not want to worry her son.

"Was... tired from the large crowd so I had James sent her home early." Lena finished.

"You are such a nice young lady… who would want to hurt someone like you." Madam Li changed the topic.

"You're right…" Lena stared at Kris.. as if speaking to him. "What kind of evil person would want to hurt me."

Kris met Lena's eye and he felt a cold chill. He had never felt such dire feelings before from someone else other than his grandfather.

"But I am alright now. Ming-ge has been helping me and my family with the situation."

'Ming-ge? The young master Zhao? Are they this close to calling each other by their first names? My son is too far behind!!!!' Madam Li thought.

"Our Li family can help too. After all, I am to be blamed for you being here too. As you know, my some has very high resources for these types of situations."

"Really?" Lena's eyes glistened. She was laughing inside her heart. "With the Li resource, I am pretty sure you will find the MAN that wants to hurt me in no time."

Lena spoke sarcastically, trying to rub some tensions to Kris… who obviously caught on her attitude.

"Of course, my son is very diligent. Right?" Madam Li turned to Kris.

"Anything my mother says is true." He sternly spoke.

Kris stood up and walked towards his mother. "Mother, you should leave soon too. You still have to visit grandmother today for the tea ceremony."

"That is right… then I'll be leaving. I'll have my people contact you about a day for me to come visit your collections."

"I'll be waiting then," Lena replied.

Kris walked his mother to the door in which he quickly said, "You go first. I need a moment to speak to Miss. Shen alone."
