CHAPTER 20: CAN’T WALK

Huang Xia's schedules lately were totally packed. She almost has no time to pursue her plan to Moven's mother. They have been expanding new outlets and more orders here and abroad. Every time she got home from work, she almost could not take a shower due from exhaustion.

In the coming days, she will continue the plan. She never got any news with Moven lately. She just came from a business trip in the US. She just arrived from the airport and it's already 7 o'clock in the evening.

She is so damn tired and no plan to eat dinner. She goes inside the bathroom and took a shower. After shower, she dialed her cousin's number Faye.

She was holding a glass of milk while waiting for Faye to the other line. A couple of rings, the other line spoke.

"Hello cous, what's up? Faye said.

"What's up? I just came from my business trip. So, what's new?" Xia asked.

"Eh, by the way, did you know that Lee Moven got an accident last month?" She reported.

"What!??? Who told you that?" She could not believe what just heard.

"I met Lu Ricky last night. He told me about what happen to Moven. He is currently staying at home because he cannot walk normally." Faye exclaimed.

"Ha! What do you mean he can't walk normally? Is he a handicap?" Asking her with worried face.

"Yes, that's what he said. I was totally shocked with the news." Faye explained to her about that news.

Faye was still talking to her, all of the suddenly she couldn't hear her voice anymore. Her mind was not functioning for a while. It was then she realized she just hung up the phone.

She was still silent as if she does not know what to think. She anxiously steps back and forth inside her room.

She dialed Lu Ricky's phone number. It took few minutes before a voice from the other line spoke.

Ricky saw the caller ID of his phone. He did not answer it right away. He kept it ringing for 5 times. Lu Ricky already knew why Huang Xia called her.

He knew that she just came from other country and knew nothing about Lee Moven's accident. After meeting Huang Faye last night, she probably told Xia about it.

"Hello" he said.

Her throat was dry and almost could not say a word. Until she calmed herself.

"It's me Xia!" Saying in a sad voice.

"Hey, what's up?" assuming that he doesn't know.

"Ricky… Is it ….?" Huang Xia almost could not finish the words. "Is it true about Moven?"

"You mean the accident!" He stated. "Yes, he got car crashed by a truck last month and he still cannot walk."

Silent felt again the moment Xia heard what Lu Ricky told her.

Lu Ricky still heard her breathing on the other line. He knew that she was shocked knowing the situation about Lee Moven. He knew all along about the feeling she had for his friend.

That's why until now he could not give up Xia. He loves her the first time they met.

"Xia, are you still there?"

It took several minutes before she realized that she was on the phone talking to Lu Ricky. She was very unaware of herself after that.

"Hmmm, thanks for telling me, Ricky. I will visit him." After she hung up the phone, she was still frozenly sitting at the corner of her bed.

It was quite unbelievable to know that her beloved Lee Moven could not walk anymore. Suddenly, she was alert the idea. Lu Ricky didn't mention about being disabled forever, right? Neither Faye nor Ricky, they did not say something when they told her a while ago.

I was not able to question his situation because I was shocked from the news. I was speechless for that moment.

Her wild mind became actively positive reaction. She will visit Moven to his house eventually. She never loses hope. She should be always thinking positively in any situation when it comes to Moven.

Suddenly, she was alert the idea. Lu Ricky did not mention about being disabled forever, right? Neither Faye nor Ricky, they did not say something when they told her a while ago.
