"What? What did you say? Lost his memory?" Jia Li asked repeatedly .

Wei, who had been overhearing the conversation, took the phone from Jia Li's hand and asked precise and concise questions . They were walking back to Jia Li's house from the hospital . He put down the phone after a minute .

At her look of enquiry, he said, "as per the doctor, Tang is suffering from a short term memory loss . He seems to have forgotten the past six years of his life . Apparently he was in a similar accident then . "

"Yes, I remember . His car had been hit by another car while he was driving upstate from New York for an end of the year celebration . His car had skidded and banged into a tree, which had ended up saving him from falling off the cliff . I had spent the next twenty four hours in a dreadful waiting period . There was no one except his roommate whom I knew who could keep me posted about his condition . Horrible memories," she shivered involuntarily .

Wei immediately wrapped his arms around her shoulders .

"Why aren't you dressed suitably for the weather? Do you know that there are people in this world who care about your well-being and your careless attitude towards yourself, hurts them every time . For example, your running away in the middle of a call without informing me or anyone else about it . I spent the entire night pacing the room, wondering what has happened . It was finally the caretaker at the institute who came to check the incessant ringing of your mobile in your cabin . It was also him who told me that you had dashed out in a hurry . Thankfully you had the sense to tell him that you were going to the hospital, else I would have had to tour the entire length and breadth of Moganshan looking for you . I drove like a maniac to come here," he spoke with reproach evident in his voice .

She turned to face him, "I am really sorry . In that moment, I couldn't think of anything . I didn't mean to worry you, yet again . "

"I want the right to worry about you . I want to be the one, whom you can rest your weary head on . I want to take responsibility for you . And I will wait till you are ready to give me this right," he held her face in his gloved hands and stared into her eyes .

Jia Li broke the eye lock and looked away in an embarrassed confusion . She didn't know how to handle his romantic overtures . Her mind was filled with worry over Tang's health and she couldn't think beyond it for now . A part of her reminded her ruthlessly that he was a married man and had his entire family to take care of him . But she was feeling uneasy for not being around when he was hurt .

"Are you going back to Shanghai today?" she asked as they reached the entrance to her house .

"In a hurry to get rid of me?" he asked, trying to cover the disappointment by jesting .

"No, you misunderstand . I wanted to know if I should get a room booked for you at the usual place or not," she explained with a smile .

"The house looks the same . You seem to have done a decent job maintaining it . Your parents would be happy sitting up in heaven ," both Jia Li and Wei turned upon hearing this .

Mr . Xie had stepped out of his car and was surveying the place .

"What are you doing here, Uncle? I thought you were at the hospital," Wei frowned .

"I went to the marketplace to buy some congee which Tang has been fond of since childhood . Saw you both walking from a distance, so stopped by," he said neutrally .

"Please excuse me . I am going in now," Jia Li addressed no one in particular, not wishing to spend even a single minute in that man's presence .

"Actually, I wanted to have a word with you, if you don't mind," Mr . Xie looked at her .

Her heart hammering, she was transported back to being the twenty two year old naïve girl . With no choice to extract herself without being rude, she gestured him to follow her inside the house .

"I will see you around, Wang Wei . Maybe we could go visit the institute later, hmm? You could give me a tour," Mr . Xie said to Wei in a dismissive tone .

Much as he wanted to be a part of the conversation, he knew he couldn't openly defy Uncle Xie .

"Sure, Uncle Xie, whenever you say . Jia Li, I will be at the institute . Freshen up and come to work . We'll have breakfast together . Since your phone is still at the institute, make sure to call me from the landline when you leave home," he said, making a point in front of Mr . Xie .
