Missing You, Darling (Hiatus)

A big hospital in S City is now bustling with patients and visitors as a big accident happened close to the hospital. While ER full of people, another hall of patient rooms are still in peace. However, this calm atmosphere broken as a nurse emerged from a room with numbers 201.

"Doctor! The patient in room 201 has shown a sign to wake up!" This young nurse was around the twenties shouted as she's running into the counter. Coincidentally, a tall, handsome male doctor standing near to the young nurse. He looked up at the chaotic scenes and ignore it. That's not his patient, so why bother?

After a moment, his complexion turned somewhat ugly, "Wait... 201? That... That 201's patient?! Darn it all. Why now?!" the tall doctor run towards the 201 rooms while picking up his phone from the jacket pocket. He sweats as his call answered.

"Hello? Sis! Not so good. That woman wakes up!! You'd better come up with something fast. If the brother-in-law knew, then you're done!" Xue Yang takes a peek inside the room and saw two or three doctors checking the patient.

In a luxurious villa of Platinum Garden...

In a living room, a woman and a man sitting on the couch side by side. A woman in nightgown flipping the magazine page after page. Sat beside her was a young man in thirties, wearing a home outfit and look so peaceful as a calm breeze. Suddenly, this peaceful atmosphere disturbed by the woman's ringtone. She put down the magazine and see her brother's number. Smiling softly, she picked up.

"Xiao Yang? What's up?" As she asks, Xue Ning leans on her husband's shoulder, comfortingly.

Her face turned pale, her hands' trembles slightly. "Wh... What did you say? Is it true?" Xue Ning quickly realized that her husband still beside her, looking at her weirdly. She laughed as if nothing happens before sat up and went to the farthest place to speak.

"You better watch out for her. Do something now! Let her fell into a coma back or anything! Yes, you can kill her! Do it as if it was an accident! Find a nurse to be the scapegoat! Just do it right now. I don't care if she does remember or not. Only one person tells no tale! Understood?" Xue Ning's face contorted in a sinister smile. The hate she felt right inside her heart far greater than a sin of murdering. Her jealousy shrouding her consciousness and mind as a beautiful woman's face appears in front of her. If she had the wing, she will fly to kill that woman herself!

Damn you, b*tch! If you still alive, my good life would never be in peace! Either you or I live as a winner!! Xian Naihe is mine!! You should be his past!!!

"Honey? What's wrong? How Xiao Yang?" Xian Naihe appeared behind her in silence. Xue Ning scared, almost throwing her phone away. After calming down, she turned as her face went back into the peaceful state.

Xue Ning laughed as she held her husband's hand coquettishly, "Xiao Yang is good, he told me he found someone special, so he wants to introduce her to us! How about we arrange a light dinner this week to celebrate?" she asked as if nothing happened, but her heart snickering sinisterly.

Xue Ming, look how good Xian Naihe! He loves me more than he loves you. A two-timing like you don't deserve his love and affection! So what you had a beautiful face? So what if you're his lover? That's already happened in the past. His present self already mine! No one can take him from me! No, not even you!!

Hah, you better stay in sleep, never woke up again! Forever!!

########

After the call ended, Xue Yang calmed down. His face turned sinister and ruthless. He chuckled softly as he went into the medicine room to collect something.

Sister Ming, don't blame me for being cruel. Sister Ning happiness is my happiness, too. You're a good sister to us, but unluckily, we're not blood-related. Even though you're the true eldest daughter of the family, Sister Ning and me also the children of Xue's. But, your life is better than us. Your mother is the first legal wife, but our mother only a mistress! So what if we take what should be ours? From the beginning, all this luxurious life belongs to us! Father was no longer alive to protect you, so... Farewell, Sister Ming...

1.30 am...

Xue Yang appeared in 201 rooms. He stood beside the patient bed while holding a syringe with rubber gloves. Hiding behind the white mask, Xue Yang's sinister expression was masked. Looking down at the still sleeping woman on the bed, his hands froze as he found that a pair of ash-gray eyes staring at him. No emotions showed on her face, only that bottomless orb speaking through her eyes.

"Sis... Sister Ming! You... You still awake? Ha-ha... Ah... Ah..." F*ck! How the hell she still awake?! Without waiting for the reply, he left the room quickly. Damn! Failed!

Looking at the retreating view, Xue Ming's ash-gray eyes glistening with tears, but no drops coming down. This should be your last lingering feeling, right? 'Xue Ming' sighed as she remembered what happened two years ago. Those two siblings were the real culprit for the accident that happened back then.

"You treated them so well as real siblings, but they take it for granted. Ming, I'm sorry. I'm not a saint. Not bad, either. I can close one eye for whatever they did in the past. However, if they keep antagonizing me, Xue Ming, I'll let them know what coffin looks like." A ruthless side of her emerged from her ash-gray eyes, but soon faded as came back in those stormy eyes.

Xue Ming, an unfortunate young medical practitioner from another world that died from the poisonous python attack. She's on her way to the Death Swamp to collect certain herbs to concoct medicine. But, unluckily for her to bump into two beast war at the swamp. Albeit her being a medical practitioner, too, she didn't bring with her the cure for the poison, thus leading her to her death.

Can her fate be crueler? Xue Ming's eyes trailed off from her left backhand to the clear cylinder that hanging on the hook at the bedside. Dripping water? An Iv? So, they called this thing is IV? So interesting.

"Oxygen mask... Heart-lung machine... Blood transfusion... This thing had so many functions that my previous world most needed! If I had this thing before, Xue Ling will..." as Xue Ming remembers her younger sister from the previous world, Xue Ling, whose death from a heart attack, she cried silently. Xue Ling's body constitution was so weak from birth, prevents her from cultivating. A slight high fever could cost her, her life. Her organs also could stop functioning if the weather became cold at night. Although this kind of life was a lot sadder than death, Xue Ming felt so grateful that her sister lives full of joys and loves. The only regret Xue Ming had before her sister's death was she couldn't find a cure for her sick sister.

Xue Ming still remembers what her Master told her before, "Ming'er, this lives full of up and down. Life and death. We can't stop fate of a wheel from cycling around and around as human life and death depend on it. If in this lifetime you can't fulfill the promise you backed then, then do it if you one day be reborn."

As Xue Ming jokingly said, Master, do you believe in reincarnation? Her Master smiled mysteriously as his only reply was, "Who knows... Life is unpredictable. You can believe, or you can choose to not believe either, my child..."

As per she remembered the joke she asks before, Xue Ming laughed at it. What a stupid question I asked! Master is a living Sage that still alive through the years on earth, but I still treated it as a joke! No wonder Master treating me like an immature child.

"Oh, well. Now, I'm reborn as a new person. If I can't live to the fullest, then I should be damn by heavens." Xue Ming sat up slowly to stretch out her stiff neck and limbs for lying on the bed for almost two years!

How sucks it was! "Cheh, I would love to start from recovering from now, before starting anew." Xue Ming left her bed to stand at the window. Her ash-gray eyes shine as the scattered stars gleaming on the blanket of the night sky.

"Everything is same as my previous world. Nothing different or change at all. [The star and the moon shine brightly, under the sky was a garden full of the bed of flowers, fragrant of night wafts around the world, painting on the canvas of life...]" After chanting her self-created poem, Xue Ming walked back inside and leave the matter of life for tomorrow.

Unbeknown to her, a pair of black obsidian eyes followed her trailing behind. He stood on the balcony long enough for him to hear the poem chanting.
