/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 203
Jia Li interrupted him gently and tried to lighten the atmosphere, "there is no need to apologise, Mr . Ying . I am absolutely fine and it wasn't as if you deliberately caused it . As for being guilty, I guess, it was partially my fault . Maybe it was my horrid singing which put you on the sleep mode . "
Before Hui could react to her words, Eric exclaimed, "singing? You were singing in the car? Why was the privilege accorded to Hui and not me?"
Jia Li gave him a humorous look and replied, tongue in cheek, "after discovering that my singing can be near fatal, you still want a taste of it?"
Eric grinned at her words, "if you think that I am going to get scared by those words, you can think again . We must have a performance by you as soon as you get out of this place . "
He was aware that she was a good singer and had been a part of a band with her friends . What he hadn't known was that she had sung for Hui, the night before . This seemed like a promising beginning already .
Two kilometres away, London Hospital
"Your father has a fair chance at full recovery if this surgery goes well . We are extremely optimistic that tomorrow's operation would be successful . We shall be taking him in to the operation theatre during early hours . The nurse shall explain the Do's and Don'ts prior to that . Good Luck!" the surgeon told Wei .
He had been in London for more than two weeks now along with his father . His mother had landed an hour ago and was headed towards the hospital now . Much to his surprise, she had informed him yesterday that she was going to be present for Mr . Wang's surgery . Wei had initially thought of dissuading her but had held back, thinking of his father . Maybe a part of him was hoping that she turns up . So, Wei had sent a chauffeured car for her at the airport this morning . Irrespective of her motives for coming here, he had no intentions of sticking around when she came in .
If her behaviour with Jia Li hadn't been enough, her near apathy towards her own husband surely was, for him to keep his emotional distance from her .
"Dad, she has arrived . I am going to leave the two of you to do some catching up," he addressed his father gently .
Mr . Wang asked him to stay back but he shook his head and told him that he wanted to get some fresh air . Walking towards the nearest garden, he bought a loaf of bread on his way, to feed the pigeons . His father had been shifted from the doctor's clinic to the hospital for the surgery, a couple of days ago . Little did he know that Jia Li was currently in the same building where his father had been residing for the past couple of weeks .
Wei sat down on a bench and started crumbling the bread when his phone rang .
"What did the doctor say? When is the surgery scheduled to happen?" Tang's impatient questions boomed in his ears .
He replied, providing the details, including the fact that his mother had arrived this morning .
Tang digested it all and asked, "let me guess . You are nowhere near where she is, am I right?"
Wei told him to keep his nosiness away from him . Instead, he launched into a detailed discussion about the new product line which they were trying to develop in their company . Tang had been keeping him abreast of all the new updates at work .
"It seems that you are on top of things there . I know it must be exhausting for you with the increased workload . I am really thankful to you for supporting dad and me during this phase," Wei said .
"Ahhh, there you go again, with the stiff words of gratitude . Everything is under control here . In fact, things are running smoothly due to err… dad helping around enough . Between the two of us, we seem to be doing ok," he replied .
"Wait, did I hear that correctly? You and Uncle Xie are working together? How did that happen?" Wei exclaimed .
Tang replied in an apologetic tone, "you have been so preoccupied with Uncle Wang's health . Hence I didn't mention the developments taking place here . "
"Right now I have all the time and I am not preoccupied . Tell me what has been happening . I want to know it all," Wei insisted .
Tang began by narrating the incident with Mei Zhen and her new beau at the restaurant .
