Half a day passed by but Jiang Yang didn’t come to check on Nixxxie’s mother. Although Nixxxie was aware that he must be busy with his surgeries, the memories of a kiss from that night were making her anxious. She thought, he must be trying to avoid her after thinking it was a mistake. This thought was not letting her sit in peace.
Jiang Yang was in his cabin after done with the surgeries while going through the reports of the patients. There was a knock on the door. Hearing it, Jiang Yang replied, "Come in."
The person entered inside. Jiang Yang took a deep breath and said without looking at the person knowing who that was, "How are you, Nixxxie?"
The anxiousness made Nixxxie come to Jiang Yang. She asked nurses if Jiang Yang was back from the surgery. Once she got to know he was free, she came to see him with the excuse to know about her mother’s condition.
Hearing him, calling her name without even looking at her, she was surprised to know how he knew that she was there. She sat in the chair and Jiang Yang looked at her. The moment their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat and she forgot why she came to meet him.
He was looking amazingly handsome in his doctor’s white apron with his blue color shirt visible through it as the buttons on the apron were undone. The top button of the shirt was undone too, showing his neck and the part below it. His deep golden brown hair was neatly arranged, making him look fresh, even after he had been a busy whole day. There was no sign of tiredness on his face.
With his bright brown eyes, he was looking at her waiting for her to speak while Nixxxie was unknowingly busy in observing his face. Her sight involuntarily moved from his hair, his bright brown eyes, tiny but a pointed nose, lips with a smile on them, well-shaped jaw up to his chin.
The moment, her eyes moved downwards toward his neck, Jiang Yang spoke, "Do you want me to undone the other buttons on the shirt?"
Hearing his words and coming back to her senses with her eyes opened wide, Nixxxie gulped, "I...I came to talk about my mother."
"Hmm! When did I say you came here after thinking about that kiss every moment, for these past two days?" he said straight staring into her eyes.
"Cough-Cough! I...I want...to know...When my mother can get discharged from the hospital?"
Jiang Yang didn’t tease her much and went back to his duty of being a doctor of her mother. "She is fine now. After going through a few more tests to confirm her current condition, we can discharge her at the end of this week if everything is fine in her reports."
Hearing a serious talk from him, Nixxxie felt relieved and replied, "Okay!", She asked again to make sure, "She will be fine right? I mean she won’t have any problem later."
Jiang Yuyan sensed the obvious worry of a daughter for her mother, "For now she is fine but I can’t tell you about the future as I am just a doctor who can treat her and help her to get well as soon as possible. You have to take care of her so that she will take proper rest and look after her health."
"Hmm! I understand. I will take care of her."
When the talk about her mother was over and there was nothing more to talk about, Nixxxie stood up from the chair, "I will take a leave now.
Jiang Yang nodded and she stepped towards the door.
Looking at her retreating back, Jiang Yang called her, "Nixxxie!"
"Huh?" she turned around.
"How about lunch together, tomorrow?" he asked.
"Lunch?"
"Hmm!"
"In the hospital?"
"Yeah! Here, in my cabin, if you don’t mind."
"Okay!" Agreeing to his wish, she left the cabin.
Once she left the cabin, exhaling out from the mouth, Jiang Yang leaned back in his chair.
As Nixxxie came out from the cabin and closed the door, she looked around to check if anyone was there. Seeing no one, she gave out a sigh of relief as she was able to face Jiang Yang. She patted her chest as her heart was running faster when she was sitting in front of him but tried not to show it.
Slowly she was getting pulled towards him even if she knew she should not go that way. She wanted to say no for lunch but ended up saying yes. When she went back to the room, someone was there and she didn’t like it.
"What are you doing here?" she exclaimed.
"I am here to see my stepmother." That was Xi Cheng, Nixxxie’s stepbrother.br>Song Meilin too didn’t look happy to see him and she was looking in another direction but him.
Nixxxie stepped towards her mother’s bed and looked at him in the eyes, "If you are done, you can leave."
Xi Cheng smirked to see her, "Hmm! Seems like little bird is not happy to see me here"
"My mother needs to rest so....."
Without letting her complete her line, Xi Cheng interrupted her, "I want her to rest nicely and forever but it’s her who doesn’t want to rest."
Hearing it, Nixxxie’s was angry but she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and clench her fist. She was helpless in front of him and moreover, she had to be calm for now for the sake of her sick mother.
Seeing her angry, Xi Cheng left with an evil grin on his face. Nixxxie went to her mother, "Are you fine? Did he do something to you."
"Don’t worry dear, he can’t do anything even if he wants too." Nixxxie’s mother replied. She was still having trouble breathing so she avoided talking more.
"You rest mother. Soon I will show him his place."
"You have to be careful. Though he can’t harm you, I am still worried that with what plan he will come up."
"Hmm! I know. For now just rest."
