"I am truly sorry . I didn't mean to worry you," Jia Li repeated .

"Let's not waste time on this issue anymore . Tell me, how did the interview go? Were they happy with the place and the progress?" Wei asked .

She started excitedly, "it went very well . In fact, Ethan managed to extract beautiful anecdotes from the new employees . I think those would make happy reads . But I just wanted to ask you…why didn't you inform me about this visit? I would have been better prepared had I known in advance . "

"I couldn't tell you because I didn't know about it myself till the last minute . Chu called me while she was enroute Moganshan . Apparently her father had given her the go-ahead without even bothering to check with me," he grumbled .

"That's strange . Fortunately the politics in your office don't concern me," she said with a smile .

"But you should know that Tang spent a few hours going through the ledger accounts . Since he is the big boss, I couldn't have…" she was interrupted by Wei's shout .

"What did you say? You mean Tang was there as well?" he asked in a raised voice .

Surprise and confusion was evident in her voice, "you mean you didn't know that he was going to be here?"

Taking a deep breath, he said, "take me through the events of today chronologically . "

Before she could do so, she got a call-waiting on her phone . It was an unfamiliar local number .

Putting Wei on hold, she received the call .

"What? Oh my god…" the phone clattered from her nerveless fingers .

She ran out of the door, mindless of anything else . By the time she reached the local hospital, she was completely out of breath . She asked the information desk about the three people who had been brought in just now .

She reached the assigned room, just in time to see the doctor examine Ethan . He was sitting on the bed and was protesting that there was nothing wrong with him .

"What happened? Are you alright? Where are Chu and Tang?" she asked, worried out of her mind .

Jia Li's face had lost all its colour . She looked as shaken up as she felt .

"Chu is in the other examination room . She is alright, else I wouldn't have been sitting here . I guess we should have paid heed to your advice . It was dark and slippery . Tang lost control of the car temporarily and we banged hard into a tree . He lost consciousness and…" Jia Li ran out of them room as soon as she heard this .

"I am looking for the person who has been brought in a state of unconsciousness few minutes back . His name is Xie Tang," she hurriedly told a nurse whom she met outside the room .

It was a small hospital with just enough beds and basic facilities . The nurse pointed towards a doctor's cabin at the end of the corridor . Jia Li ran towards that room and just stopped short of colliding into the doctor who was coming out .

"How is he, doctor?" she asked, trying to peep into the room from behind the doctor .

The doctor shut the door firmly behind him and gestured her to walk out with him .

"Are you his guardian?" he enquired when they reached his cabin .

She shook her head in affirmation impatiently, without hesitation . Her mind was going crazy and the doctor didn't seem to be in a hurry to answer her anytime soon . He took off his spectacles and polished them with the sleeve of his coat . It seemed as if he was weighing his words carefully before saying anything .

"The patient has suffered minor external injuries . But he has received a solid blow to his head which knocked him unconscious . He has a hairline fracture on one of the arms as well . For now, we need to wait for him to regain consciousness in order to determine if there is any damage to his brain," he said softly .

Jia Li's lungs didn't seem to be functioning well . She found herself short of breath . This was a nightmare! There was no way that any of this was real . He had bid farewell to her only an hour ago . The warmth of his smile still lingered in a corner of her heart .

"Can I go see him?" she asked the doctor .

"As long as you don't disturb him, you can do so," he replied kindly .

Jia Li walked out of his cabin in a daze and bumped into Chu .

"How are you? I was just coming to see you," she worriedly surveyed Chu up and down looking for signs of injury .

"Don't worry about me . What did the doctor say about big brother?" she asked in a tremulous voice .

"He says that Tang has suffered only external injuries including a minor fracture . He is just waiting for him to regain consciousness . But what exactly happened?" asked Jia Li, in a small voice .
