Lifen didn't knew how to respond to call anymore. She was struck with the words she had heard from the other side of the line. A current of fear ran down her spines.

Seeing her struck like this, Deming eyes filled with slight worry. "What happened? Who called you?" was the only words that came out of his mouth. Despite knowing who was calling her, he still asked her to snap her out from that look.

"Can you please drop me at First Hospital?" she said staring deep into her phone.

He didn't asked any further question and leaded her towards his car which was parked in the entrance of the mansion.

Soon the car left the Carnation Valley. It was buzzing on the streets of the city all the way towards First Hospital. There was a pin drop silence in the car, only the steady breathing of the two can be heard.

Lifen was still staring in her cellphone. The memory flashed back to her. It was from her high school days, "Lifen, you know my feelings for you, then why are you not still accepting it. We can be a happy couple. I am the most handsome boy of our high-school. You shouldn't miss this chance", Chang said with a smug on his face. But Lifen shook her head and rejected him, " Nope, I don't think I am interested in all this. We will always be good friends Chang". The expression of Chang sank and his eyes filled with the pain of failure.

All the memories flashed by one after the another where Chang has always helped her with all his might, always stayed by her side without expecting anything from her. But what she has done to him. Everytime she ignored his love for her, gave him extreme pain and never took his feelings in concern.

Then the memory flashed back of their reunion party where she has crushed all his hopes, thinking it was best for him. How can she think something suitable for him. It should be his sole decision.

Chang's depressed face whizzed in front of her eyes when he came to know that she was in a relations.h.i.+p with Deming, though she was not that time. She felt worst, remembering every part.

Drowned in her guilt, her body got a slight jerk when the car halted at the entrance of the First Hospital. "We are here", after the whole drive Deming spoke up. He didn't knew what was making Lifen so troubled and emotional after the call, so he kept quiet. He didn't wanted to stir up her emotions with his presence and words. He just wanted to accompany her in this situation.

Lifen snapped out from her thoughts, and swiftly stepped out of the car. Deming gave the keys of the car to one of guards working at the hospital and asked him to get the car parked. The guard was about reject the request but when looked up at the person who was asking, his thoughts got immediately rejected. He took the keys and walked to park the car.

Lifen went to the reception. "May I know in which room Mr.Yu Chang is admitted?" Lifen asked politely.

The receptionist looked up and gazed deeply at her, "Are you Ms.Lifen?"

Lifen nodded in approval. "Oh thank G.o.d, Mam you are here. I have called you before. Mr.Yu Chang has got into a minor accident before. Though the accident was minor but the cuts and scratches on his body is quite deep and if not treated on time, it might lead to an infection. But Mr.Yu has got stubborn on not letting our doctors to treat them".

At that instant, Deming walked there and stood beside Lifen. His hands tugged inside the front pockets of his pants. When the receptionist looked in his direction, she was mesmerized. There was no way, she didn't recognize him. Her eyes filled with excitement. She didn't ever thought that one day, she would come across 'the youngest business tyc.o.o.n of the country'- The w.a.n.g Deming.

She forgot all the words, she was about to say to Lifen and instead looked at Deming with her eyes filled with exhilaration. Lifen was waiting to hear the further words the receptionist has intended to say but when she didn't responded for the other one minute, she asked again, "Can you please guide me the way toward the ward, he has kept in?"

Hearing her, the receptionist instantly came out of her fantasy and smiled sheepishly, "I am sorry, Mam. I know you are concerned about your boyfriend. He is so sweet, he has kept your number as the speed dial 1 in his phone with a contact name, 'Angel'. He is on second floor, room number 109".

Lifen didn't gave any thought to her other words and simply followed the direction but Deming was not soft on his side. He gave a deadly glare to the receptionist which made her s.h.i.+ver and fear evolved in her heart. 'Did I sag say something wrong. Or did I offended him in any way', she thought to herself.

Lifen got into the lift to get on second floor. Deming too stepped inside with her. "There is no need for you to accompany me. Thanks for dropping me her, you can leave now", she said without looking at him. She didn't wanted to show him her weak side and that too after what he has done to her.

Deming ignored her words and gently placed his hands on her, "Don't panic too much. You shouldn't blame yourself. Everything is gonna be fine".

The words from him made Lifen relax. Don't know why, but her heart still have faith in him. His words still has soothing effects on her. She still feels safe by his side.

The door of the lift dinged open and the two came out on the second floor. They went straight to the room 109, where Chang was still behaving stubbornly. He was not letting anyone to get near to him.

When the door of the room got open, Chang looked up and her eyes shone on the sight of Lifen but soon his expression sank when he saw the man accompanying her.

Lifen came in and was about to lecture Chang on his childish ways but Chang spoke up first, "Oh Lifen, so you are her. How come you are here? Were you pa.s.sing by with your boyfriend?"

Lifen got his words and also understood that the fact that she was with Deming was making him upset. She thought to herself, 'It would be better to clear his doubts. This way it help him get less stubborn at this time. Though it would raise his hopes but still at this moment this will be the one best thing. And the most important thing, she wouldn't be lying as it's true there is nothing between her and Deming'.

"Chang, I am here for you. I came here because I got a call from the hospital. I was concerned about you", she said as she stepped forward towards him. Deming too came inside the room.

Chang gave a fake smile to her, "Thanks Lifen for coming here, but it's okay you can leave now. Your boyfriend might not like it".

Lifen can feel the pain in his heart and even more after experiencing the heartbreak few days before. She said gently, "Chang, there is nothing like that. You have misunderstood before. He is not my boyfriend. How could he be?"

Deming didn't expected to hear this at this moment. He looked at Lifen. A heartbreaking pain filled his heart. He knew he has faked love with her but still he was not ready to hear this coming out from her mouth, and that in front of someone who was head over heels for her.

Chang was confused. Lifen continued, "That day, at Daiyu's place. I was just kidding. There was nothing serious", she looked a Deming whose expression was now no more in good condition, "And most importantly, he already has someone he loves . He already has girlfriend. How could I be his girlfriend".

Hearing her words, Deming was jolted from within. He clenched his fist tightly enough to make his palms bleed. Lifen reverted her gaze back to Chang who was now in a much more better mood.

"Now can you let the doctors continue their work, please", Lifen requested.

Chang shook his head in disapproval, "Nope. I will not. I have a condition for that".
