Holding her head in her hands, with her eyes shut tightly while the tears rolled down from her eyes, Jiang Yuyan was crying but she couldn’t get what exactly she was crying for. Everything that happened till now was getting too much for her to handle and she felt like her head would burst open soon. She wanted to sit somewhere and sought support, but even before she could reach the chair; she fell unconscious.
In a while, the room’s door opened and Ning Jiahui entered the room. Since Jiang Yuyan left the mansion, Ning Jiahui was restless. The whole night she spent waiting for Jiang Yuyan and asked the butler to inform her if she was back.
When Ning Jiahui got to know about Jiang Yuyan was back and where she was, Ning Jiahui straightaway came to Jiang Yuyan to see if she was fine but she never thought to see Jiang Yuyan lying on the floor, unconscious.
"Yuyan!" Ning Jiahui called her name, but there was no response.
Feeling scared, Ning Jiahui called the butler on the intercom and told him everything. Soon the Lu Family’s personal doctor- doctor Tang arrived there with the butler holding his bag. Seeing Jiang Yuyan in such a condition, the tears couldn’t stop coming out from Ning Jiahui’s eyes.
"Her body and her mind are under too much stress. She needs to rest or it will affect her health badly," informed doctor Tang.
Nodding, Ning Jiahui asked, "Is she hurt somewhere?"
"Not right now but her body has gone through a shock of an accident and it’s been just a few days since she lost her baby. Not just physical, but mental damage is there. She is still so weak and needs to rest more."
"I understand," said Ning Jiahui as she looked at Jiang Yuyan worriedly.
"How about sending her somewhere away from here just for a change?" Doctor Tang suggested that Ning Jiahui doubted if Jiang Yuyan would agree to this and said, "I will try."
It was the morning, and Lu Lijun was awake. He looked around the room, but Jiang Yuyan was not around that made him sad. Being a dutiful boy, he got refreshed and sat on the couch while looking at the table clock as Jiang Yuyan promised him to have breakfast together.
Till breakfast time, Jiang Yuyan woke up and saw Ning Jiahui sitting on the couch, and it surprised her. She couldn’t recall what happened to her.
"Mother!"
Going to her, Ning Jiahui asked, "How are you feeling?"
"I am fine. What happened..why I am....."
Interrupting her, Ning Jiahui replied, "Doctor asked you to rest as you are weak and fell unconscious suddenly."
"I am fine, mother." Saying, Jiang Yuyan looked at the table clock and tried to get up from the bed, but Ning Jiahui stopped her.
"Don’t get up. I will bring your breakfast here." Ning Jiahui instructed.
Sitting at the edge of the bed, Ning Jiahui held Jiang Yuyan’s hand and said, "He will be fine, Yuyan. You should worry about yourself first. You are so weak and it worries me."
"I will take care of myself, mother, but at least let me go to him. I promised him to have breakfast together and you know what the meaning of promise is for him," Jiang Yuyan requested.
Agreeing, Ning Jiahui said, "Okay, but I too need one promise from you,"
"Tell me, mother."
"You will not go out of the home for at least a week and you will rest properly," Ning Jiahui asked.
Not willing to disappoint her caring mother-in-law, Jiang Yuyan agreed, "Promise."
Feeling relieved with it, Ning Jiahui offered, "I will send Lu Lijun here and you can have breakfast together."
"Not here mother. This room and also, I don’t want him to know I am not well."
"Hmm, let me help you go to his room then," Ning Jiahui offered and Jiang Yuyan nodded.
Jiang Yuyan didn’t want Lu Lijun to come to that room as it would only remind him about Lu Qiang and seeing her sick, Lu Lijun might worry so she didn’t want to let him know.
There was a knock on the door but Lu Lijun didn’t reply and didn’t get up to open it. He was just staring at the clock as just ten minutes left for his breakfast time. It was not like he was punctual about breakfast time, but today he was trying to be as Jiang Yuyan didn’t show up.
Jiang Yuyan knew what would be the condition inside the room so she entered the room and straightway went to Lu Lijun who was not looking at her and who was sitting with his hands folded in front of his chest as his face looked cold.
Kneeling down in front of him, Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "I am sorry for being late, Lu Lijun, but I didn’t break my promise. See, there are still ten minutes left for it."
Lu Lijun moved his sight to look at her. Though she was smiling, her face looked pale and dull. Lu Lijun’s sight examined her face, and finally, there was some movement from him.
Letting his hands-free from the folding then in front of his chest, Lu Lijun raised one hand, and before Jiang Yuyan could understand he touched her forehead. She didn’t have a fever, but her temperature looked on the higher side than normal.
Lijun held her hands just to make her stand up and signaled her to sit on the couch. It surprised Jiang Yuyan because when she entered the room; she thought she had to work on melting the little iceberg but happened otherwise.
Lu Lijun dialed the intercom number and instructed, "Bring breakfast."
Another shock for Jiang Yuyan that he said two words at least, and she got to hear his voice. Ning Jiahui, who was standing at the door, felt relieved seeing Lu Lijun didn’t trouble Jiang Yuyan and she left to go downstairs.
