Love and Faith
The Vile Apartment, 2pm
Ruo Qin was setting up a blank canvas on her easel with a paintbrush at her fingertips. Despite being unable to see, Ruo Qin wanted to rely on nobody but herself.
Just then...Wang Yan step foot into the apartment.
"Is that you Yu Tian?" Ruo Qin asked upon hearing the doors unlocked.
"Yup. It's me." Yu Tian answered, appearing behind Wang Yan, just in time without getting noticed.
Yu Tian gave a firm nod to Wang Yan before leaving them with privacy.
...
Wang Yan carefully approached Ruo Qin and sat beside her silently.
"You must be thinking how can i still paint when i'm blind right?"
Ruo Qin let out a chuckle at herself.
She thoroughly searched for her color palette and squeezed random colors onto the palette, where Wang Yan quietly helped to place the palette in the right position.
That was all he could do.
Ruo Qin then started dipping her brush into colors that she couldn't see or tell and started painting with whatever she could.
"Help me to see if i'm painting well okay?" Ruo Qin asked.
"I just want to paint a theme park when i had the most fun with him..."
Ruo Qin smiles bitterly as her eyes slowly reddening..
"I..."
"i...really..miss him...so..much.." Ruo Qin muttered, as she tries to wipe away the tears.
Just then....
...
*SNIFFLE* *SNIFFLE*
Ruo Qin could hear a sniffle beside her, that made her dropped everything she was doing.
Wang Yan was sobbing..just right beside her with a broken heart.
The sight of watching Ruo Qin's tears are his absolute weakness.
Not being able to see or tell who was it. Her fear escalates, afraid someone would have broke in the apartment.
"Who is this!? You're not Yu Tian!...Who are you?!"
Ruo Qin shouted with a sense of fear in her voice, as she tried to stand up in defense for herself.
Then...a faint scent of musculine cologne travels across.....
This familiar scent....?
...
She recalled in just seconds.
It was Wang Yan's cologne!

"It's...Yan..?" Ruo Qin asked, trembling.
"It's you right?!?! What are you doing here?!? How did you?!" she raised her voice.
Completely astonished.
Wang Yan who was grieving upon seeing his lover. The pain was excruiciating, watching his woman in tears..
What must he do to gain her trust? What else must he do to let Ruo Qin have faith in him?
This man was torn..broken on the inside. Tears were leaving from the corner of his eyes.
"Qin..." Wang Yan's voice was muffled, his lips were quivering.
Just as helpless as she was.
"Get out! GET OUT! Are you happy now? Watching me like i'm a joke?" Ruo Qin wailed with tears as she retreated herself slowly from him.
"Why...why did you let go of our relationship just like that..?" Wang Yan asked earnestly.
"Can't you see?! I'm blind! I'm completely blind!" Ruo Qin screamed, clenching her fist close to her heart..
"Qin please...you've left me once, i can't live my life without you again.." Wawng Yan approached Ruo Qin holding her hands.
"This is exactly why i wanted to leave you! You've loved me too much...too much that you can't let me go! What if one day i'm no longer around? What would you do?!" she tried to catch her breath, panting her words out.
Wang Yan then...pulled her into his arms despite Ruo Qin resistance, struggling to free herself from him.
"Listen to me..." Wang Yan spoke.
"No..Let me go!!!!" She refuted, continue struggling.
"LISTEN TO ME!" he shouted.
The room fall into silence..only the sound of sobbing could be heard.
"I won't let you die..Qin..trust me..."
Ruo Qin gradually stopped moving and gave in to his touch.
"Qin..i need you to trust me..i am going to do anything and everything...To get you treated..You are not going to die!"
This time Wang Yan pulled her into his warm embrace, where Ruo Qin bury her face into his chest..
Their love..chemistry for each other was so deep that it hurts.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Qin..Sorry that i took so long to find out..I'm sorry you have to battle this yourself for so long.."
Wang Yan doesnt hide his emotions infront of her. He cried as he hugged her with all his might, gently kissing her forehead repeatedly.
All these while, they've longed for each other's touch, comfort and support.
"I don't want to die...Yan..i... don't want to leave you just like that....."
Her words was the comfort and strength to him.
"I'm not going to let you die. Have faith in yourself and me.." Wang Yan responded.
God set this ordeal for both of them.
But it was also when they decided to go against God's will.
This time, its both of them against the world.

Later that night..
While Wang Yan was driving back to Aescott, took a glance at Ruo Qin who fell asleep in the car..
He stopped by the road-shoulder.
Pulled out a blanket from his backseat, and lowered her seat for better comfort. Gently laid the blanket over her body frame and kisses her forehead.
"I love you.." he murmured and smiled.
It was heartwarming, he's finally back to the place where he wants the most, which is to be by her side.
Wang Yan knew..deep down his heart, as long as he lives for another day, he will not give up hopes finding cure for Ruo Qin.
After arriving back at Aescott, Wang Yan set her in bed carefully and called for Renxi.
---
Renxi: Sir, i've gotten all medical reports of Ms Ruo Qin.
Wang Yan: Good. What about Doctor Trey?
Renxi: Doctor Trey and his team will be coming to Aescott tomorrow morning.
Wang Yan: And i also need you to get someone to re-arrange the furnitures here to make movements easier for Ruo Qin.
Renxi: I understood. It will be done by tomorrow.
Wang Yan: Thank you

After Renxi depart Aescott, Wang Yan was up in his study room, studying the information of Ruo Qin's condition.
Working on his laptop, researching on cornea transplants, chances of recovery and risks of tumor surgeries.
Wang Yan was worn out after a long day, but he doesn't stop working on it.
It wasn't long until he fell asleep at his desk, when Renxi knocked on his door to no avail, he noticed his boss was fast asleep and immediately grabbed a blanket for him.
Renxi knew Wang Yan was tired. Juggling between the new Hotel project and Ruo Qin's condition must have been a big blow to him.

No mother in the world would be able to watch their children give up on their life.
Tears rolled down...when she stared at her daughter's photo. It wasn't easy for the mother and daughter to reunite after 6 years..She will never let her daughter go through such misery again...
"My Qin'er....be strong..."
Madam Qian mumbled.
