Ch. 1 Take Good Care of Our Children

A young woman in her 30s was laying on a sickbed with medical cords on her body, had an oxygen mask on her. She barley slowly breathing in and out. the monitor showing her heartbeat pluse is dropping slowly.

Li Meili saw her beloved man holding her hand without looking at her. He had a full of tear on his eyes. Her hand touches Zhao Yong's face. She wants to see his face one last time.

Zhao Yong had refused to rest and sleep because he fears that his beloved woman would leave without any words. He knew that she would leave the world any days and any minutes.

He had received a phone call came from Li Meili's villa, stating she is in bad pain and having a difficult breathing. He had sent her to the hospital by force if she does not want to go.

"Zhao Yong." she called.

Zhao Yong hears Li Meili called his name and looks at his beloved woman.

Li Meili gives a slighty smile on her face. Her face was fully pale as a white paper.

"I wish I could see my two children one last time." She wipes Zhao Yong's tear on his face as she spoke in hoarseness.

"You will get better." Zhao Yong replied in hoarseness.

Li Meili shook her head. She knows her body well.

She had been sick for two years since she was diagnosed with bone cancer. she has gone to her therapy and on medication.

A few month later she was once again diagnosed with liver cancer. the cancer made it worst for her to give up on therapy. She chose to stop the treatment.

The doctor had told her she is in her last stage of cancer. She had a short term of life span to spend time with her family.

"Promise me that you will not abandon our children? They need you you; you are all they have." She trying to catch her breath. "Don't let them get bullied."

She had her tear roll down her eyes.

"I'll promise you, Meili. I won't let them get bullies and I will not abandon them." He replied.

"I love you, Zhao Yong." Li Meili's hand still on Zhao Yong's face.

The monitor showing her heart beat is getting to a flat line as Zhao Yong hears the sound and saw the monitor.

"G - g - goodbye m-m-my good husband."

"Bbbbbbbb." the heart rate pluse turned to a flat line.

"Meili! Meili!! He got up from a chair and shook Li Meili to wake up. "DOCTOR!" Zhao Yong yelled top of his lungs.

Several doctors and nurse ran to the room to retrieve the back; however they knew that their patient had suffered from a liver and bone cancer. She chose to the treatment.

The doctors sighed and shake their head. They could not retrieve the patient back. They all look at Zhao Yong.

"My condolence to you and your family, Mr. Zhao." They give their condolence to Zhao Yong.

A little girl, 6-7 years old sitting on a swing with her circle skirt and a pink t-shirt. She had a sad face. Zhao Liming has not seen her mother for two weeks. her father told her that her mother sick and she will get better.

However, she does not know that her mother had passed away.

A 40s-50s Nanny was beside her. She tries anything to make this little happy, but the little girl would not budge.

The vehicle has entered the villa, parked his car in a front of the house. he had wailing and witness his beloved women's death. Zhao Yong does not know or how to bring the news to his daughter. As for his little son, he is too young to understand what is happening.

Zhao Yong got out of vehicle, entering the villa. The housekeeper spots the master had returns home.

The housekeeper knew that Zhao Yong had sent their Mistress to the hospital.

"Master, you're home?

The housekeeper in his 60s, he does not have much of gray hairs and wrinkle in his face. The housekeeper bows.

"En." Zhao Yong gave a short nodded. "Where are my children?" he asked.

"Eldest Miss is outside playing swing. And the young Master is napping."

The housekeeper follows behind Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong stops his steps and turn to his housekeeper. "Help me prepare for the funeral process. Meili has passed away."

The housekeeper had his eyes opened wide. "My condolence to you and your family, Master." he give his respect bow. With that Zhao Yong walks to the backyard.

Zhao Yong saw his daughter sitting in a swing with her face down. He does not know how or what to tell his daughter about her mother had passed away.

Zhao Yong wants to call her, but Zhao Liming called her father instead.

"Daddy!" Zhao Liming saw her father figure from afar because of Nanny informed her. She got off the swing and runs toward Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong saw her running toward him, he got down on his knees, his arms opened wide and caught and hug her tighty.

"Daddy, you're home?"

"Yes I am home." he hugs her tightly.

'can you take me see mommy? I missed mommy."

Zhao Yong bit his lips, wondering how to respond his daughter's question.

"Nanny Wang give us some moments please?" he looks at Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang had a bad feeling it could be a bad news. She excuses herself to check on young master.

Zhao Yong brought his daughter to gazebo and had her sit suits on his lap.

"daddy?"

Zhao Liming looks at her father and remind him again.

Zhao Yong looks at his daughter with no response, his tear slightly rolls down from his eyes. He hugs her again.

"daddy?" she called again.

Zhao Yong heard his daughter called, he wipes his tear and clear his throat.

"uhm... your mommy is with the Angel, She's not coming back, sweetheart." Zhao Yong patted her head.

"mommy is not coming back?" Zhao Liming had her voice breakdown. Her tears rolls down from her eyes.

"mhm." Her father looks at his daughter.

"You're lying! You said mommy is sick." She threw a tantrum at her father. She got off her father's lap and run away. Zhao Yong ran after his daughter.

Suddenly, she fell to down to the ground. Zhao Yong pucks his daughter off the ground and hug her tightly.

Then one of the servants ran to where both father and daughter was, she informed Zhao Yong that Lu Mingxia had come to this villa.
