After Zhi Chen left, Xue Er closed the door from behind, and slither down onto the floor, "Is this...A DREAM COME TRUE?!!!" the feeling of thrill rushing down on her. She tries to calm herself down, "Xue Er, breathe in and out...In and out." And suddenly something strikes her, "ARGHH…," crunching down onto her side. As the pain accelerated, she rolled into a ball, both hands wrapped around her throat. Panting faster, ....Zhi Ch...en...sen...ughh!"
On the other hand, Wei Wei finally came home, walking up the stairs with their nanny accompanying her to her room, she decided to walk to Xue Er's room, "Let me check on Xue Er," Wei Wei said to their nanny. "She should be sleeping, let's not wake her up," the nanny suggested. "That is true. Let's go," their footsteps slowly departed further. (NO… don't go….) Xue Er kicks her table that was beside her, making her books crashing on the floor. "What's that?!" Wei Wei turned towards the sound. "It was coming from Miss Xue Er's room," the nanny answered. Wei Wei opens the door and sees Xue Er laying on the floor, she quickly removes the books that were on top of her, "XUE ER!!?" Xue Er weakly looked up at Wei Wei, "I…C...an't …..breath...e," holding her neck. "HURRY AND CALL 911!! HURRRYY!" Wei Wei shouted in horror, "Stay with me!!! DADD!! MOMM!"
----At XXXXXXX Hospital--------
"DOCTOR! How's our daughter?" The whole family gathered around the doctor. "She's fine for now. If she was brought a minute later, it would have been a different story." Mom finally releases her grip on her purse and asks, "Do you know why she suddenly can't breathe?" "There was no sign of any major symptoms. It could have been a minor one. I'll look into it more." Dad thanks the doctor and guides mom to the bench. "No problem, you guys can go visit her, but she will have to rest soon." "We understand."

"Mom, dad, Wei Wei!" Xue Er called over as they opened the door. "Do you know how scared I was?" Wei Wei walked over and gave Xue Er a little punch. "Haha, You sound like you're my boyfriend," Xue Er jokes. "Seeing you joking around means you're all better," getting ready to punch her. "Waitttt, i'm still a patient!!" Xue Er shouted, crossing her arms."Wei Wei, relax," Dad said. "Xue Er, how did this happen?" Mom asked, walking to her side. "I don't know. All of a sudden I couldn't breathe." Mom gave a worried look to dad. "BUT I'M FINE NOW. REALLY!"
"When can I go home then? I don't want to stay here anymore." Xue Er looks at her parents, but they didn't give her an answer. "Mom? Dad? Is something wrong?" "Uhh, you have to stay here for a few more days, before you can go home," as Wei Wei looks at her parents in a worried face. "But I don't want to stay here any longer though. I want to go home," as Xue Er protested. "Behave!," as her mom raises her voice. Xue Er didn't dare to say another word. She has never seen her mom like this before. "We're gonna head back now, and come in the morning to bring you food. Don't fool around here. I'm gonna check on you," as her mother went over to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Then her father and sister did the same. "What's wrong with today? I've never had these before," as she looks at them laughing. "Just go to sleep and rest," as her father turns off the light for her and exits the door.
She grabs her phone and scrolls through it. "I can't stay here any longer. The smell of the hospital makes me want to vomit. I need to find a way to escape," as she mumbles to herself. She called Yi Ping and told him what happened. "You gotta help me. Come to the hospital early in the morning tomorrow. Must be here before 8am," as she specified to him million times. "You better not tell anyone, or else you're dead." Yi Ping didn't understand why, but agreed to it.
The next morning, Yi Ping came over. "Are you sure you want to do this? Your parents are gonna be mad." Xue Er looks at him, "It's fine. Just stay here and I'll be back as soon as I can." Yi Ping gave her a worried look, "I still don't know about this. What if I'm exposed? You're sister is definitely going to kill me." Xue Er puts his hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry buddy, I'll make sure she won't." Yi Ping gave her his clothes and Xue Er gave him her hospital clothes. "HURRY UP AND COME BACK." as Yi Ping shouted. Xue Er waved goodbye and tied up her hair. She puts on a cap and secretly walks out of the hospital.
"Can't believe it was that easy," as she happily walks out the hospital. Xue Er starts walking and sees an old grandma on the street that seems lost. "Are you lost?" as Xue Er walks over to her. The old grandma looked at her and nodded, "I don't know where this is. I've been told it's around here, but I can't see it." Xue Er looked at the address and saw that it was only a few streets away. "Don't worry grandma, I'll bring you there."
On the other hand, Yi Ping dresses like Xue Er and lays down on the bed. Suddenly the door opened and it was Wei Wei. "Xue Er, it's time to wake up. Mom and Dad went to get your breakfast." There was no response, "Xue Er?" Yi Ping didn't dare to move, but could only hear his heart beating very fast. Wei Wei walks over and tries to pull down the blanket, but it was tightly held by Yi Ping. "Mom, dad come over here. I don't know why she won't let go." Her dad walked over and pulled down the blanket. "YI PING??!" Wei Wei exclaimed. "Go-good morning auntie, and uncle," he looks at them awkwardly laughing. "Where is Xue Er? And why are you wearing hospital clothes," as Wei Wei questioned him. "Uhm-, well… how should I say this?," "Just say it, stop with all these UHMM AND WELL." The mother looks at him, "She escaped didn't she?" "How did you know?"
"You're really asking that?" Wei Wei glared at Yi Ping. "Ha...Ha…," "Enough with the argument. Do you know where she was going?" their dad stepped in. "No…," as Yi Ping answered, avoiding Wei Wei. "How can you let a sick patient go out on her own without knowing where she is going!?" she grabbed Yi Ping's collar. He pushes her hands away and hides behind her dad, "Use words instead! I understand without violence," he said feeling wrongly accused, "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON! I THOUGHT SHE WAS STUCK HERE WATCHING OVER SOMEONE! I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS THE PATIENT UNTIL I GOT HERE!" After realizing he had raised his voice on Wei Wei, he quickly excused himself. "Wei Wei, go watch over him," her mom sighed, blaming Xue Er's action on herself.
"I'll contact my men to search for her. It will be fine. It's Xue Er," her dad said trying to lighten the mood. "You're right."
"Grandma, we're here." Xue Er claimed. "Thank you young lady." Xue Er bid her farewell and went her way. "Xue Er?" a voice called her from behind. "Zhi Chen senior? What are you doing here?" "I was about to ask you the same thing." "I...I was visiting someone at the hospital." "I guess you're free now and haven't eaten yet," he guessed, taking her hand, "Let me show you a good restaurant I found." "Uhh...wait I didn't bring my wallet." "My treat!" he grinned.
"Here the place," Zhi Chen announced, "Table for two." "Right this way." (I was trying to get away from the hospital… and here I am block away from it.) She thought, shaking her head. "You don't like it?" Zhi Chen questioned. "Ah, no I'm just tired. Excuse me for a while as I use the restroom," she said, changing the topic. "Okay. I'll order first."
As Xue Er heads to the restroom, she starts feeling dizzy, "Whoa…," using the wall to support her until she finally reaches the restroom. She turned on the sink and washed her face, "That's better… Huh?" She touches her nose, "BLOOD?!" The dizziness suddenly came back again, "This is bad..." before she black out she grabs the sink for support. After she got her conscious back she quickly called Wei WEi, "Hello..." "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?!" "Chill-, I'm in the restaurant one street away from the hospital. Come get me. I don't feel good... ugh… and Don't let Zhi Chen find out." "HUHH!?" Wei Wei asked not knowing why she mentioned Zhi Chen. "He's with me right now..." Pulling Yi Ping along, Wei Wei responded, "This is what you get!"
After five minutes, Xue Er finally came out of the bathroom. "Are you feeling okay?" as he examines Xue Er's pale face. "Yea, I'm fine." "I ordered both of us cream pasta. Are you fine with that?" Zhi Chen looked at her, but Xue Er didn't seem to be listening. "Xue Er? Are you okay?" Xue Er suddenly came back to her senses and looked back at Zhi Chen. "Zhi Chen….." Before more words could come out of her mouth, her sister came in. "Xue Er, here you are. And Zhi Chen you're here too?" as Wei Wei walks over to them. "I'm sorry Zhi Chen, I have to take Xue Er back home. Our grandparents came over and they wanted to see her." Zhi Chen looks at them without suspecting anything. "Sure, do you want me to drive you guys back?" "No, it's fine. I have my car parked outside." Wei Wei took Xue Er's hand and felt that her hand was cold. "Well, we'll get going now. Sorry about that," as Wei Wei drags Xue Er out, she turned around and saw Zhi Chen staring at her.
Once they got in the car, Xue Er saw Yi Ping inside. "You got caught?" as Xue Er looks at him. Yi Ping gave her a look and sighed. "How are you feeling now? You're so pale." "I'm perfectly fine. Don't need to worry." After saying that, Wei Wei suddenly glared at her. "If you're fine, you wouldn't ask me to come and pick you up." "Why are we heading back to the hospital? I've already said I'm fine," Xue Er protested. "If you don't want mom and dad to be worried, go back to the hospital. Don't you know that you've already made them worry after escaping from the hospital. They almost called the police." Xue Er realized her wrongdoing and silently went back to the hospital.
Xue Er lays at her bed with her parents and sister supervising her. "If you guys are busy, just go. Don't worry about me. I won't leave anymore." Her mom and dad looked at her, "You think we will trust that?" <
