Hua'er

The director left soon after Alex woke up. Luna poured him some water and asked either he want to eat or not and Alex nodded. She went into the kitchenette and brought out a tray of food. She pushed a button to raise the head of the bed.

"Are you comfortable? Did you want me to adjust the bed more?" she asked.

"I'm good, thank you."

Luna moves the mobile table towards Alex and opened the lids of the vacuum container. She picked up the spoon to feed him but Alex insisted he can feed himself. His arms and hands were uninjured, except for some small scratches here and there. So Luna let him be.

"I had talked with your attending doctor. As long as you cooperate with all the treatments, you'll be discharge as early as possible. So you can recuperate at home until your bones heal. But occasionally, you need to go to the hospital for your physiotherapy sessions. He said, it might be up to six months for your injuries to heal and you could walk by yourself again.

"For the time being, you can try to walk slowly using the crutches to loosen up your legs' muscles. It'll be painful and uncomfortable at the beginning, but eventually you will adapt. So don't be too hard on yourself.

"

You might not be able to have a bath or using the restroom by yourself, so make sure to ask for my help if the need arise. If I'm unavailable, do ask for the nurse help. You can push this blue button to ask for their presence. If you feel too much pain, quickly push the red button. It's for emergency.

"Until you're discharged, Lily and I will stay in the next room. Oh, I had hold the meetings with the Board of Directors and shareholders this afternoon. I also asked your PA to passed me all the important documents that needed immediate attention. So, until you didn't need the neck brace, I'll help you with the files."

Alex continued to eat slowly while listening to Luna. After she was finished, she stood up and switched on the TV. She put the remote control on the table and said, "In case you feel bored."

She went into the bedroom and came back with his phone. She put it on the table too.

"I had charged your phone. I had something to do, so take your time to finish the food. Just let them be when you had finished, I'll clear it later."

Then she stalked off before she stopped. Without turning back she said, "In case you're worried and you want to know, I had hired a nanny to take care of your woman. Don't worry about her as I already paid her admission and surgery fees. Just take care of yourself." 'As I won't be able to take care of you anymore in the future.'

....

Jason and Micheal slumped dejectedly on the sofa. 'At last, the devil knew. So much for keeping it as a secret.'

"...Do you think he went to confront Luna?" Jason asked.

"...Probably. He was unpredictable sometimes. He said this then he did that. Like before..after the graduation. I bet he must be very angry. Afterall, Luna was his....." Micheal sighed loudly.

He felt drained and lethargic after all the incidents that had happened. The moment they landed, they already went through such a roller coaster emotions. It just been three days, for God's sake.

"..I feel pity towards his employees. Tomorrow must be hell for them." Jason tsked.

....

Meanwhile, in the car.

Calvin drove his car aimlessly. A while ago, before the elevator door could close with Danial inside, he had rushed in. They rode down the elevator in silence until now. Nobody spoke. He would occasionally glanced at Danial, who had a dark and gloomy aura surround him. Danial pursed his lips tightly, his jaws clenched.

Calvin sighed as he doesn't know how appease the devil.

"I'm sorry. But I think it'll be the best if you could move on from the past. It's already been seven years. She was now happily married and you too have a fiancee. Don't hanged up on the past too much, it'll do you no good. Maybe she's not the one for you." Calvin said and gripping Danial's shoulder for a while.

Danial remains silent. But now he was more calm and composed. He dazedly looked out the window.

'Hua'er...why don't you wait for me? Don't you love me?'

He weeped inside his heart. The pain was too much.

He had searched for her high and low but never found any clues or traces of her. And now, she appeared in front of him with new name, but she was taken. He always thought that no matter how long it takes for him to find her, as long as she was single..he'll try to woo and court her until he could conquer her heart. That's why he's not yet married even though he had been engaged for three years. Arranged engagement.

'Luna Wang...Hua'er..'

Danial tried to remember her current face that he saw from the surveilliance camera. She looked more mature, sophisticated, and cold. There's no more childish innocence in her expression but she was no doubt elegantly stunning. He felt his heart thumped loudly when he saw her face.

Like the very first time he saw her nine years ago.
