Turn

Assistant Jiang sighed and walked away. He decided to get something to drink for his boss and himself from the cafeteria.

As he was waiting for his order, he gulped then dialled the chairman's number. Assistant Jiang at least knows that Chen Kaori is like a daughter to them. Now that he did not know what to do to help his boss, the chairman is the only one he could turn to.

He Ziluo frowned when he saw his son's assistant on the caller ID on his phone. Assistant Jiang almost never called him directly. If it is about business, Assistant Jiang would go through his assistant first. The only time Assistant Jiang went to call his personal number directly was when his son refused to go to the hospital while sick. It was a time when Chen Kaori was still in City O, finishing her studies. After that, it was Chen Kaori who usually deals with He Zifeng's stubborn ego.

He Ziluo remembered that Chen Kaori resigned, so it must be something she would have handled. After several rings, he answered, "What's wrong?"

He Ziluo rushed home to his wife who looked back at him and said, "What happened?"

"Cheng, Kaori..."

The both of them rush out from the house and drove to the hospital. As He Ziluo made a turn towards the parking area, he started to brief his wife on what happened.

"Oh my! My Kaori...and Zifeng...he might never forgive himself if something..."

"Cheng..." He Ziluo placed his palm on his wife's hand. "...we need to have faith."

Mrs. He nodded at him as the boarded the elevator.

He Zifeng's stance shook and he looked up as several doctors and nurses were running towards the operating theatre. He frowned and his worried expression turned gloomy.

'I can't lose her! Not this time! Not ever! These people...they will save her...they can...and they will!' He Zifeng's thoughts occupy his mind that he did not notice his parents coming towards him.

"Zifeng..." Mrs. He tried to tap him on the shoulder.

He Zifeng quickly turned to look at them as he wiped tears from his face.

"Son...we got a suite for Kaori on the top floor. We brought both of you some clothes you could change into. Why don't you take a shower first..."

"No!" He Zifeng sat back down on the bench and held his head with both hands. "I...I won't go anywhere until I know she's out of danger."

"But we..." Mrs. He tried to reach out her hand.

He Ziluo stopped his wife then shook his head no to her. He guided her by the shoulder away from their son. He knew his son might break down if they keep on talking to him.

"Dear...I feel like I'm losing both of them..." Mrs. He burst out crying the moment her husband shut the door of the suite.

He Ziluo immediately took her into his embrace and patted her back and shoulders. "You won't...we have to hold on and be strong...for both of them."

After laying his wife down on the extra bed, He Ziluo contemplated on making a call to his friend, Chen Zhiyi.

He Ziluo tapped on his phone to make a call. "Assistant Jiang...keep Zifeng company for now. We will be in the suite we booked for Kaori. Call us when there is an update."

Assistant Jiang turned to a corner as he ended the call. Then he walked along the corridor and finally sat on the other end of the bench and glanced at his boss. He placed the cup of warm tea on the area between them, then drank his own coffee silently.
