Chapter 63 - The New Morning

The sun rose with a new beautiful morning as if the night before had never happened.The nught nurse knocked on the door of the VIP room to inform the care taker that their duty would be changing.After having no reply from the room,she opened the door carefully only to see the scary man from last night sitting on the bed,leaning back with his eyes closed.The patient's hand was gently held in his hands.The nurse thought to herself that the man did not look scary now..Appearences could be deceptive.In this moment of her thoughts,she did not realize the man's eyes had snapped open and were trained on her.

Feeling the hot glare on her the next moment,she came to realize that she was wrong..He was scary..Blushing a little at being caught for staring,she said,"Sir,the morning nurse will be comig in soon to introduce herself and the effects of the medicine will soon start wearing off so the patient will wake up soon.Please do remember that the patien should void speaking and should not be agitated.Also the police are here to question her but the doctor has instructed them to wait.However you are not allowed to discuss anything from last night with her as that can affect her statement.The doctor will also be making his rounds soon and explain everything in more detail." Ah Hai gave a curt nod to acknowledge the nurse who then left the room,closing the door behind her.

The next moment,Ah Hai had once again leaned his head back and fallen asleep.Another peaceful hour passed when Shi Ai's eyes fluttered open slowly.At firse,she was confused and unaware of where she was.However keeping her eyes open was a very difficult task as her eyelids were too heavy ant the light in the room was too bright so she snapped them close.The next moment,she could feel the heaviness in her limbs and even as her brain processed this news,her throat was in agony.She tried to move her hand to massage her neck a bit but realized that there was something heavy around one hand while the other had some sort of needle attached..She was sick.She was sure of that now.But how did she get so sick that she was hospitalized.She tried to think but remembered nothing..After a few minutes,a face flashed in front of her closed eyes.If she had not been so lethargic,her eyes would have snapped open.Believing that she was hallucinating because she was sick,she kept looking at the face of her dreams.Her forehead frowned at the new details of the face that her imagination had added..There was a scar on the beautiful face and long face..Maybe she had played too many games with Brother Min and thus was imagining Knight's face on one of the leading characters.

The slightest movements caused from Shi Ai's waking up had roused Ah Hai.He looked down at the small frown lines on her forehead and thought that she must be having a nightmare so he smoothed a hand over her forehead.This caused Shi Ai's eyes to snap open with a jerk and she met Ah Hai's stare with her big saucer like eyes and then..promptly lost consciousness. 

Ah Hai was shocked for a moment when his eyes met the little girl's..He shook his head when he realized that even though she looked grown up,Shi Ai's eyes were just as innocent as ever..It was only after he got over the shock that he remembered to call for the doctor who after examining her pulse and vitals declared that she was fine and would be waking up fully soon.Ah Hai's eyes narrowed at the pacifying answer but before he could intimidate the doctor,another knock sounded on the door and a young boy's face peeked in.Seeing that the grim reaper from last night was still here and true to his form was presently scaring the doctor,Zhang Min cursed inwardly though outwardly presented a bright smile to both the men.In a voice that was definitely not squeaky(he assured himself),Zhang Min said,"Good morning Doctor.Good morning Big Brother."

Zhang Min had decided last night that if this man was really going to be Shi Ai's husband then it was prudent to get into his good books.So he had decided to be brave and call him big brother.Last night,Zhang Min's father had explained the entire story of how Long Ah Hai had helped bring Shi Ai to this country and even taken care of her from behind the scenes.His father firmly believed that Shi Ai may not be the love of this man's life but she held an important place.Zhang Min reasoned that from a man like this,even care was something to feel good about so he prepared himself to reach the hospital early to get to know more about his brother in law to be..There was only one thing that Zhang Min was disappointed about...He had really really hoped that he would get a reprieve and not have to face the man despite his intentions.
