Fake Tears

After a minute, she could hear the door open and someone entered the room with heavy footsteps.

"Sh*t." The man spoke. The voice sounded familiar, not one of her captors.

The man walked into the room and the first thing he saw was Gary and Lena on the floor, both bleeding out. He went to check on Gary first because he had the most wounds. He checked his pulse.

There was still one but very weak. He went next to Lena and check her's. It was weak too, but stronger than Gary's.

"I found them. We are at the lowest level. Need immediate medical attention." He spoke to his earphone.

He dropped his gun to the side and unbuckled his gears. He took off his outer shit and tightened the wound on Lena. Lena suddenly opened her eyes.

"No… Gary." She shook her head. 'Not me! Take care of Gary first!' Lena screamed inside but could not get the words out. The man did not hear her and Lena closed her eyes again. This time, she went into an unconscious state.

When she opened her eyes again, she was not in the damp dark room. There were bright lights around her and she was moving really fast. She could see several people. They were doctors and nurses.

"Hello? Miss? You are going into surgery right now." One of the female nurses spoke to her.

Lena just blinked.

"What was her name? She's not responding."

"Patient Shen Qian. Sustained heavy injuring from a car crash."

'What did they say her name was? Shen Qian? Was she back?' Lena was very confused. She tried to feel her body and it aches all over. 'I can't be here… I need to make sure Gary is fine.'

"Pressure is dropping! Get us into that surgery room now!"

"We lost her! Starting chest compressions."

Lena's mind went black and dark. She could no longer hear anything nor feel anything. Her body was peaceful as if she was really dead.

'I can't die yet… I still haven't found love yet.'

"You are a blessed child" The granny's voice echoed in the silent darkness.

Lena's body jerked up and she opened her eyes.

"Lena?" Shen Milli was scared. It looked like her daughter had just woken up from a nightmare.

Lena glanced to her side. "Mom?"

Shen Milli quickly sat on the bed and hugged Lena. "It's alright. You are safe now."

Lena looked around. She was in a hospital room. 'Didn't I went back?' If she was still here then…

"Gary."

Shen Milli released Lena. "You have been sleeping for four days now. You need to stay in your bed."

"Is… Is he dead?" Lena stumbled to say that work. "Don't lie to me."

"He's in a different room."

"I have to go see him" Lena removed the blanket from her and was preparing to get out of the bed.

Shen Milli stopped Lena. "You're going to open your wound."

"I just need to see him. That's he okay, please." Lena was almost into tears.

Her mom sighed. "Wait here. I will go get someone."

Shen Milli left and came back with a nurse and a wheelchair. They both gently helped Lena to the chair and Shen Milli pushed Lena to Gary's room.

When Lena entered the room, she saw Henry by Gary.

"You're awake." Henry walked over. "You should not be up and going about so soon."

"I just want to see him." Lena replied.

"You watch her, Henry. I will go get something for her to eat." Shen Milli walked out of the room with the nurse.

Henry pushed Lena closer to the bed so she could see him. Gary was hooked up too many machines.

"The Doctor said he was out too long before they resuscitated him. We did not do anything, we wanted to wait for you." Henry explained.

Lena crouched forward and held Gary's hand. She placed her head on the table. "What's the situation now."

"The situation is all over the news. We tried to cover you and Gary but they somehow got hold of the information."

"What about Eva?"

"The Li and Yang group both overtook the rescue mission. Eva was found first. She only had minor injuries and already left the hospital yesterday."

"She didn't say anything about the people who took us?"

"Her statement to the police was that she was unconscious the entire time."

Lena laughed. She lifted her lead up and stared at Gary. "Such a liar.

I am sorry Gary. I… I told you once that revenge was not the way to go, but for you, I will make sure they feel our pain a thousandfold."

Henry could feel the chills from her cold voice. There was a sudden knock on the door. Two policemen entered the room.

"Sorry, but we heard that Miss. Shen had woken up."

"She had just woken up and you are already here pestering her?" Henry declared.

Lena turned her wheelchair toward the policemen and held Henry's hand. "It's fine. They are just doing their job." Lena smiled. "How can I help you?"

"Thank you, Miss. Shen. We just want your statement. Do you remember who did this to you?"

"I… I don't remember." Lena lied and faked a confused expression. She tightened her grip on Henry's hand. "I only remember hearing the shots. I am sorry." She pretended and released few tears down her face.

Henry knew she was faking big time. He put his arm on his shoulder to console her. "It's fine Lena, you don't have to remember what happened. The doctor said that you may be to shock to recalled the events?"

"Really?" She puppy-eyed Henry and the policemen.

"Ah… Miss. Shen, we won't force you to recall the events. It is fine if you do not remember anything. We only hope that you are well and recovering."

The two policemen tilted their heads and left the room.
