Are you alright?

WORRY

Chen Li and Xiao Lu looked at Ling Fen with worried eyes. She was sweating profusely while her body convulsed as though in deep pain. There was nothing that neither of them could do. Doctor Ji Luo walked toward the bed after keeping his equipment in the bag. He had already taken care of the burns on Ling Fen's hands.

He turned to Chen Li, "Other than the wounds on her hand, there is nothing else that I can do…you may ask her to visit a psychiatrist later when she wakes up."

Ji Luo was one of the best doctors in the country. He was also Chen Li's personal doctor and friend. They had known each other abroad and became fast friends. Ji Luo's skills were well known. If he said there was nothing he could do then there really was nothing he could do.

Xiao Lu sighed. Whatever happened to Ling Fen must not be simple. He looked at her, it was as if the memories were holding tightly onto her without the intention of letting her go. He could not help but wonder what happened to her.

Ji Luo looked at Chen Li, "I think it is time for me to treat your back. If there are wounds they may fester due to late treatment." He reminded Chen Li softly while carrying the equipment over once more.

Chen Li nodded and then proceeded to unbutton his shirt. His back was especially red but other than that, there was nothing serious.

Xiao Lu and Ji Luo exited the room once the latter was done treating Chen Li.

Chen Li remained inside the room and watched Ling Fen sleep. Her brows were furrowed in obvious pain and a whimper escaped her lips once in a while. He knew that the pain she was feeling at the moment was internal which was why Ji Luo recommended a psychiatrist.

He touched her forehead softly then said slowly, "Wake up."

His tone was soft, not at all the tyrannical one he used with others. When he first saw her, his heart which had been calm for more than thirty years started beating frantically that was when he knew. He had met countless women. Either abroad or at home but none of them had ever given him this feeling.

When he saw her faint, his heart squeezed painfully. He could not help but wonder what had happened to her. He wanted to look into it and find out the reason for her pain, he tried to ease the pain she was feeling right now but his hands were tied. He could only smoothen her brows while saying, "Wake up" several times.

On the third try, Ling Fen did indeed wake up. Her eyes shot open, scaring him. Her eyes were red and the tears that had not fallen even when she was in pain fell down now. Her breath was labored as her body shook from crying.

Her hands clutched tightly onto Chen Li as if it was a saving straw.

Chen Li panicked but then he slowly pat her back to try and calm her down.

Ling Fen cried for a long time. She did not understand why she had such a severe reaction to that specific hospital back then. She had gone to countless hospitals before but none of them had ever given her this feeling. What she felt was her being extremely powerless.

She had never felt that way before.

Ling Fen had initially thought that something from her childhood may have triggered the feeling she had towards hospitals but every time she asked her mother about it, she would tell her with certainty that nothing had happened.

If that was the case then why would she have these disturbing memories?

Chen Li watched her calm down after a while, "Are you alright?" He asked softly. Ling Fen looked up. She had not noticed that there was another person in the room. The voice slightly scared her.

She looked up slightly and was met with worried eyes.

Ling Fen was slightly taken aback. She looked down and noticed that her hand was tightly holding the others. She awkwardly retrieved her hand and nodded slightly.

She then looked around and noticed that this was not a hospital but a room.

She looked toward Chen Li and asked, "Where am I?"
