With a self-depreciating smile, he said, "it was the same pride which prevented me from reaching out to her for so many years post her marriage . My ego couldn't accept the fact . And one wrong decision led to another . But does this mean that we are to carry this albatross around our necks forever? I admit it – marrying Mei Zhen was an absolute wrong decision . My heart simply wasn't ready to accept anyone else in it, probably would never be ready . So should I continue making hers and my life miserable? She deserves better, a better person, a better marriage and hopefully a better life . But she won't acknowledge it if I bring it up to her . In fact I have tried to speak with her on a couple of occasions but every time she simply brushes it under the carpet . As per her, there is nothing wrong with our marriage . On the other hand, there is Jia Li . I know it for a fact that she would never be able to return Wei's love . I also know that he is crazily in love with her . Unfortunately, his love won't be enough for them to build a relationship on it . Hence I need to do this . You may think that this is morally wrong or deceitful or both, but it is my only recourse if I am to have a chance at happiness in this lifetime . "

Present Day

"What would you want me to do at this moment," Ethan asked Tang .

"Since they can't explain your presence here at the hospital, please go and stay at a hotel but stay in town . Keep an eye on Jia Li's well-being for me . I don't want a repeat of what happened this morning," he said with clenched teeth, referring to Mei Zhen's aggression against her .

The door to his room slid open and his father walked in with a bag of food .

"Your favourite rice congee soup and sweet buns . Unfortunately the food isn't that hot anymore," he said with a smile, looking at his son .

"Now that your father is here, I will take your leave . It was good meeting you . Let's catch up soon again once you feel better," Ethan bid his farewell and left the father-son alone in the room .

"Where is your mother? I thought she would be stuck to her precious son like glue," Mr . Xie enquired with a raised eyebrow .

"Chu forcibly took her to grab a bite in the cafeteria," he replied, taking a mouthful of the aromatic soup .

"This is delicious . Oh, it has been so long since I last tasted this . Thanks, dad!" he spoke haltingly between wolfing down his breakfast .

Mr . Xie felt extremely happy looking at his son's open, warm expression . It had really been too long . He had terribly missed this camaraderie, even more than he had realised .

"Dad, how long will I have to stay at the hospital? When can we go home?" he asked .

Mr . Xie looked at his watch and replied, "the best neurosurgeon in Shanghai is on his way here . Once he examines you, we would know better . There is nothing serious, I just want to be doubly sure before we leave the hospital . "

Just then Chu and Mrs . Xie walked in .

Chu jumped upto snatch the remaining piece of bun from her brother's hand but he moved it out of her reach in the nick of time .

"Not fair, dad . You got it for him and not for me . I have always suspected that I am mom's love child, born out of wedlock . Else, why would you treat me in such a step fatherly way," she pouted .

"Aiyyo, this girl doesn't think even for a second before she speaks . Is that something you can joke about? I shudder to think how will you behave with Ethan once you are married," her mother chided her without thinking .

"Married to Ethan? He's the guy I just met, right?" Tang frowned, staying in character .

Giving his wife a death stare, Mr . Xie said, "uh, that is to say, your sister foolishly thinks herself to be in love with this guy whom she has met recently . As always, your mother is supporting her and sheltering her . Don't take her words seriously . "

"Ooh, look at you . Aren't you still too young to think of marriage? And how come I haven't heard of this guy till now? I thought I was the one who knew all your secrets," Tang teased her .

Giving her brother a black look, she escaped from the place .

"Ethan, where are you?" she phoned him .

"I am on my way to book a hotel nearby to stay in . Tang wants me to keep an eye on Jia Li, especially post the happenings of this morning . He is also agitated about Wei's proximity to Jia Li right now . While I am here, you should think of ways to get everyone to agree to let Tang come here to convalesce for a few days . That should help him get an opportunity to explore Jia Li's heart," he said sagely .
