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

"We found ourselves on a slippery terrain but big brother was driving cautiously . Suddenly, there was some sort of an animal which came in front of the car . He swerved the car to avoid it and ended up losing control . We banged the car into a tree . He lost consciousness and both Ethan and I were so dazed . Thank God that Ethan had the sense to dial for the emergency services asap . I am sorry I forgot to call and inform you . I finally realised it when we reached the hospital and asked the hospital staff to inform you," she babbled, nervously .

Jia Li squeezed her hand gently and assured her that she didn't need to feel guilty about anything presently . Together they went to the room where Tang was lying down . Jia Li took in his pale pallor and something broke in her heart . Tears rolled down out of their own accord and she reached out to take his unhurt hand into her own . Sitting on the bed beside him, she brushed the unruly hair which had fallen on his forehead .

She never realised when Ethan came into the room and took Chu away, leaving her alone with her thoughts and Tang's steady breathing beeping in the room .

"I felt so guilty lying to Jia Li just now . You should have seen her when she checked on me for any injury . I wanted to just blurt out everything to her, there and then," Chu sniffed .

As per plan, Tang had made Ethan and Chu get off on the side of the road and driven further ahead to bang into a tree deliberately . Chu had been so worried when they had reached the car and seen him actually unconscious and bleeding . She had prayed fervently for him to be ok else she would never forgive herself for agreeing to the mad scheme of her crazy brother .

Jia Li woke up with a bad crick in her neck early next morning . She blinked at the unfamiliar surroundings before last night's events came rushing back to her . She realised her hand still lay nestled in Tang's . His face seemed to have regained some of its colour and that comforted her . The nurse came into the room at that moment and gestured that it was time for the doctor's visit and that she should step out .

Jia Li went to find a washroom to freshen up and ran into the entire Xie family . Mr . Xie was shocked to see her there . But it was Mei Zhen who immediately pounced upon her .

"This is all your fault . How dare you try and seduce my husband behind my back?" she screeched .

Realising her intensions, Mrs . Xie tried to grab Mei Zhen's hand but she was too late .

"Thwaaack!"

She slapped an unsuspecting Jia Li right across her cheek . Caught unaware at the sudden aggression, Jia Li reeled backwards and would have fallen had it not been for Wei's arms which came and enveloped her from behind . She turned her moisture laden eyes to look at him and then lowered them in embarrassment .

Wei pulled her deeper into his arms and addressed a furious looking Mei Zhen .

"How dare YOU…Who gave you the right to hit her? If there is anyone responsible for this mess, it is your lying and cheating husband . So, go take out the anger on him instead of others . Next time if I see you raise even a finger at Jia Li, I will forget that you are a woman," his words were full of fire .

"Can we please stop this? I want to go see my son . Where is he, Jia Li?" Mrs . Xie intervened .

Jia Li didn't get a chance to respond as Chu and Ethan arrived there .

"Oh, you guys are here . Come, I will direct you to Tang's room," said Ethan, oblivious of what had transpired a minute ago .

At the same time, Wei began pulling Jia Li in the direction of the exit .

"Are you leaving already, Jia Li?" Wei's possessive arms around Jia Li didn't go unnoticed by Chu .

"I think its best if I leave now . Your entire family has arrived anyways . But can you please keep me posted on Tang's health? Will you call me the minute he regains consciousness?" she pleaded .

At Chu's confused nod, she smiled tremulously and left from there . Chu stared after the retreating back of Jia Li, lost deep in thought .

"My worry is that he hasn't woken up even once since his accident . I want you to find the best neurosurgeon in Shanghai and get him here," Mr . Xie barked instructions into his phone .
