"I understand that he is hurt and is probably asking for you . But for you sake, I want you to keep in mind the fact that HE is the one who has lost his memories, no one else, including YOU," Wei said .

Jia Li tried to pull out of his grasp impatiently, "is this the time to say such things? All that matters is his health, right now . "

He didn't let go of her arm, " maybe to you that is the most important thing . But to me, nothing matters more than protecting you and your feelings . I don't want to see you get hurt because of this . "

Jia Li paused to draw a calming breath .

She raised her free hand to place it on his chest as a placating gesture, "I appreciate your looking out for me . I truly do and I promise I will remember your words . "

With that, she shrugged her other hand out of his grasp and went to collect her bag .

"What I said to her was meant for you and Chu as well . I don't know what was Tang's purpose in coming here but the fact that you three hid it from everyone, makes it question worthy . Irrespective of his current condition, if I feel that Jia Li is being exploited or hurt by anyone, I would not let her anywhere near him, consequences be damned," he said in a softly dangerous voice .

Ethan gave him an understanding smile . Jia Li came back, in a hurry to leave .

"I will be working out of your office in the meanwhile . Make sure to keep me apprised of your situation," he instructed her in all seriousness .

Summoning a smile for him, she nodded her head in affirmation .

The minute Wei settled down in Jia Li's chair and opened his laptop, he received a call from his mother…

Trepidation filled Jia Li's heart as she walked towards Tang's room . She had been chastising herself since last night for not forcing him to stay back at the hotel instead of letting him drive back . She should have been more insistent . This wouldn't have happened then .

She reached the door and looked at Ethan before knocking . He gave her a reassuring pat on her back .

"You are finally here . I have been waiting for you for so long now," Tang said to her, petulance visible in his voice .

His hungry gaze took in her appearance, making note of the dark shadows beneath her eyes .

"You have been worried for me," there was something akin to relief in his voice .

"Of course, she has been worried for you, big brother . Didn't dad tell you that she spent the entire night here," Chu spoke on Jia Li's behalf .

"You look different from the image in my memory . I guess it's cos I can't remember our past six years . Thankfully, some things haven't changed," he said naughtily .

At this, Mr . Xie cleared his throat, reminding his son that others were still present in the room .

Ethan took a calculated chance and addressed everyone, "uh, maybe we can let Jia Li look after our patient for a while and everyone else can go back to the hotel and rest . We can come back here in a couple of hours . "

To his relief, no one objected . Chu looked up at him and winked, applauding his quick thinking .
Mrs . Xie pulled Jia Li in the hall with her, mumbling an excuse .

"I know it is unfair to drag you into this mess . But I am requesting you to keep up this charade for a bit . I…he thinks that both of you are unmarried . It was my mistake but I just got flustered in the moment . I am sorry but it is just for today . Once he is discharged, we will take him back to Shanghai where he should hopefully regain his memories fast enough," she begged Jia Li .

Jia Li took her hand in her own and assured her that she would handle it well and that she needn't worry about it .

Mr . Xie seemed to be on the verge of saying something as well but was pulled by his daughter towards the hospital's exit .

Calming her heart and straitening her back, Jia Li went back inside the room .

"How are you feeling now? Is there any discomfort?" she asked him, standing at the edge of the bed .

"Are you going to stand so far and ask me that question?" he sulked .

An image of his five year old self flashed in Jia Li's mind and she looked at him with a reluctant smile .

"Look at you, behaving like a baby," she scolded gently and came to stand next to him .

In the next second, he had pulled her towards himself with his good arm . Caught unprepared, she stumbled onto his chest . He put his arm around her and held her close .
