Auntie Zhang returns inside the mansion after seeing the doctor leave.
Today the weather seems to be so gloomy.
Chef Lu has prepared the breakfast. Both Old Madame Sheng and Old Madame Jing are still sleeping because what happened last night. The maids of both old madams are also happing with cooking.
Auntie Zhang wants to help till Auntie Chi comes and changes s.h.i.+ft with her. But suddenly she feels her stomach is in pain, she wants to go the bathroom.
The time she reaches the front of the bathroom near her bedroom. She tries to open the bathroom’s door but it is locked.
She doesn’t think too much and just run to the bathroom near her room.
After ten minutes, she comes out of her room and pa.s.ses the bathroom near her room. The light is on, she feels something is wrong.
Who will take that long to be in that bathroom?
She is thinking about it and wants to knock the door. When she reaches the front of the door, it is opened.
It’s Song Yu Ning. Her face is so pale.
“I want to know who takes so long in the bathroom, so it’s you.” Auntie Zhang says: “Are you sick? Your face is so pale.”
Song Yu Ning smiles forcefully: “My stomach is in pain. Is it you who open the door?”
“Em.” Auntie Zhang says: “Do you want to take the medicine? We have a medicine for stomach pain.”
Song Yu Ning shakes her head: “Thank you. No need. It’s my old illness. I just need to take a rest.”
Auntie Zhang says: “You are really having a good fate with your Old Madame. You guys fall sick at the same time. Before the doctor advised Old Madame to go to the hospital to have a check up together. That time you also do it too. It’s also serious illness.”
Song Yu Ning clutches her hands together.
“Thank you. I will have a rest first.” Song Yu Ning pa.s.ses Old Madame Yan and returns to her own bedroom.
Auntie Zhang looks at her figure and frowns.
This Song Yu Ning, she is strange.
She seems to be ……a bit agitated.
Suddenly Auntie Zhang remembers several days ago, Song Yu Ning secretly called someone. She told that to Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin asked her to watch Song Yu Ning….
Suddenly Auntie Zhang just gets inside the bathroom. It’s s.p.a.cious and big. It’s clean. She looks around. There’s nothing strange. She just notices that she haven’t tidied up the bin. She looks at it but theres’s nothing. She notices a small water stain on the lavatory. She takes tissue and wipes it.
This time she hears a sound of car outside. It should be Auntie Chi. Auntie Zhang just washes her hands and pa.s.ses her job to Auntie Chi. She forgets about it quickly.
When she is about to getting off the work, she b.u.mps into Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan, who are coming out of Old Madame Yan’s room. She greets them. Ye Qing Xin’s eyes are red, she says: “Auntie Zhang, drive safely.”
Auntie Zhang gets out of the mansion. She raises up her head to look at the balcony of the master bedroom. A year ago, the mansion feels so cold and desolated but now in a year time, it changes.
It changes inside out. She doesn’t know whether Tai Tai knows that the mansion is surround with roses.
She probably doesn’t notice about it. The time Tai Tai was not home yet, the gardener plucked out all the expensive flowers and plants and changed to plant the roses.Tai Tai always comes home at night after the cla.s.s, the sky is dark. Moreover the roses hasn’t bloomed yet.
Jing Bo Yuan takes Ye Qing Xin to the room to have a rest. He helps to take off her coat and covers her with the blanket on the bed. He kisses her face. “Sleep for a while. I call you at seven o’clock.”
Ye Qing Xin keeps on imagining Old Madame Yan’s face and also Old Madame Yan’s worried face.
Originally Old Mister Yan doesn’t stay at Nan Shan Mansion but after knowing what happened last night, he came over late at night.
They have good relations.h.i.+p.
Ye Qing Xin says nothing and just closes her eyes.
Jing Bo Yuan sighs and sits down on the edge of the bed. He wipes her tears and says: “sleep well. The doctor has said before that Wa Po will be okay. I already ask Cheng Ru Yu to arrange an ambulance to come here. Later on I will take Wai Po to do the overall check up for her. Don’t worry.”
Ye Qing Xin holds his hand, “Wai Po will be okay right.”
Jing Bo Yuan nods and says positively: “Em, she will be okay. Have a sleep. I will go down and watch after her.”
“You will not sleep?”
Because of knowing Old Madame Yan’s relapse, last night Ye Qing Xin slept anxiously. Jing Bo Yuan asked hr to sleep but she couldn’t. She made him unable to sleep too.
Jing Bo Yuan pats her hand and says: “I’m okay. Just have a rest. I’ll wake you up at 07:00 a.m.”
Jing Bo Yuan leaves and closes the door.
Ye Qing Xin opens her eyes and looks at the ceiling.
After a while, she closes her eyes again.
Outside.
Jing Bo Yuan goes downstair to Old Madame Yan’s room. Old Madame Yan is conscious now. Old Mister Yan is helping her to drink water. Song Yu Ning stands on the side.
Old Madame Yan notices him and asks: “Xin Xin is shocked right?”
She recalls when she had relapse when Qiao Qiao was sixteen years, Qiao Qiao cannot sleep well for several days.
“Xin Xin didn’t see it.” Jing Bo Yuan sits on the edge of the bed and says: “She will feel so distressed so I don’t let her go down before you fell asleep.”
Old Madame Yan is startled but feels gratified: “You are very considerate. These days I observe and conclude that you are sincere. A Yuan, Wai Po wishes that this life time, you will continue to treat her well. Xin Xin is a child with a cruel fate. Since you already accepted her, then please take full responsibility till the last.”
Her words sound like her last hope for him.
Jing Bo Yuan says: “Of course I will take responsibility of her, she is my wife.”
Old Madame Yan smiles: “You are really good. Xin Xin is so lucky to meet you. Kh kh…”
“Don’t talk anymore. Later on the ambulance will pick and take you to the hospital to do check up.” Jing Bo Yuan says.
Old Madame Yan coughs one more time and says: “Before I had a dream, in my dream, I met Tong Tong. It’s the first time in eighteen years. She said that she misses me, she asked me when will I come to meet her. A yuan, if I die, I hand Xin Xin to you. I will watch you guys from the above, don’t mistreat her.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at the Old Madame and says nothing.
Old Madame Yan keeps on talking and she closes her eyes when she is too tired.
Jing Bo Yuan let her sleep and covers her with blanket. He stands up and looks at Song Yu Ning.
Song Yu Ning avoids his gaze in panic.
After a while, the ambulance arrives in Nan Shan mansion number 8. Jing Bo Yuan has informed the guard with that so the ambulance doesn’t stop by anyone.
Song Yu Ning follows to the hospital, Jing Bo Yuan tells Auntie Chi to follow the ambulance too.
Jing Bo Yuan calls several people outside. When he comes out, Old Madame Jing and Old Madame Sheng have waken up. Old Madame Jing asks him: “Shu Zhen is going to the hospital? Have you asked someone to follow her?”
Jing Bo Yuan nods.
Old Madame Sheng says: “Last night before sleeping time, she was okay. There’s no sign of her illness. Shouldn’t heart disease show any sign? This Yu Ning is also insensitive, she has been following her so many years. How can she not notice it.”
“You cannot blame Yu Ning.” Old Madame Jing says: “I also have relapse. This is too surprising. We are caught prepared. She is old….”
Old Madame Sheng nods and says nothing.
“Oh right, Xin Xin is okay?” Old Madame Jing asks Jing Bo Yuan.
Jing Bo Yuan answers: “She is sad.”
Old Madame Sheng also turns sad: “We are all old. I don’t know how long can we live to accompany her. I am sad that she can see us leave one by one…..”
Old Madame Jing sits on the sofa and sighs.
After a silence, Jing Bo Yuan takes out his phone to look at the time. “I will go up to take Xin Xin up. You guys should have your breakfast first.”
“Go, we will wait for you guys.” Old Madame Jing asks Jing Bo Yuan to leave.
Jing Bo Yuan stands up and Old Madame Jing says to her: “Comfort Xin Xin well.”
“I get it.” Jing Bo Yuan answers. He goes upstair and opens the door. He notices the bed is empty.
He goes to the bathroom and knocks on the door. He hears her voice: “Bo Yuan? Don’t go inside first.”
When she comes out, Jing Bo Yuan is standing on the balcony and calling someone.
He is aware of her gaze, he turns around to look at her.
Ye Qing Xin has finished freshening up. She is wearing her maternity dress, it is loose.
Jing Bo Yuan finishes his call and walks toward her. He strokes her face: “Why did you wake up so early.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at his face: “Has Wai Po gone to the hospital?”
Jing Bo Yuan replies: “Em.”
“Is she conscious now?”
“She is.” Jing Bo Yuan adds: “She looks okay.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Good.” She comes forward and hugs Jing Bo Yuan’s waist. She buries her face on his chest and says: “Thank you, Bo Yuan. I really want to say thank to you.”
He needs to take care of Wai Po, he also needs to take care of her. Ye Qing Xin thinks if it ‘s not Jing Bo Yuan and only another man, it will be tiresome.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her tightly and says: “She is also my Wai Po. I should do it.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t like to do sweet-talking to her. But his words always touches the bottom of her heart.
