"The doctor said nothing was wrong. Why aren't they waking up?" Cheng asks no one. "And that cuff, aren't their wrists hurting?"

When the ambulance came it was difficult sending them at the hospital with the situation they had so they were all carried in a police car directly sent to the hospital. The patients thought criminals were bought to the hospital but after hearing who they were it was shocking. Siblings with cuffs.

Yibo opens his eyes staring at the ceiling then he shifts his gaze to his stretched arm joined with Mina that's when he squeezes the curtain meeting eye to eye with Mina.

"My arm's hurting yibo." Lowly she tells him shifting her gaze. "I won't do anything after a failure temptation, thanks to you."

"I greatly protested in front of father the issue of having this hospital. He wasn't convinced but I'll help you make him be intrigued." Sitting legs down to stare at her carefully.

"Are you faking all this to come back and do something to me later?"

"Are you willing to atone for everything you did? Are you ready to face all those you wronged to start a new chapter of life? I'm not rushing you Mina. Take as much time you can because father won't do anything for the time being." Smiling at her. "I've always been disrespectful to you but I won't apologize. Siblings are always like that. Take it or leave it." A sloppy smirk tainted his lips, he takes out the keys uncuffing them.

Silent treatment, yibo takes a tube by the table and applies on her wrist.

"Are you okay?"

"Promise me, i've always dreamt my sister asking if i'm okay, after playing she could come and check over my wounds, treating me, something like that." Showing a default smile. "Not trying to get back at you but it feels nice. Really. I'm okay don't worry. I'd go any length to save you unlike your boyfriend. He should be here but he isn't. You are dating a grandpa Mina." Saddening.

"Get out." Chasing yibo away.

"I was going to leave though?" Escaping her wrath.

And when he got out of the curtain there was Jun waiting for him.

"Hey man?" Stretching.

"Take back what you said back there."

"About what?" Smiling.

"You should handle the hospital. That way it'll be more assuring. I don't go with your idea at all." Crossing his arms.

"What's your point actually, huh? Me giving up the idea of being the successor? It's because i don't fit in that position, simple!" Shrugging aimlessly. "Where is Xiao?"

"Wang yibo!"

"What? Why? What's the matter!" Turning to look at him.

"With all ups and downs my father went just because of you thanks to your father, you want to waste his efforts? He is laying there thanks to you, but look, you have no concern at all or you wouldn't be barking at me like a street dog. He hoped that by doing all that in the end you'd be the victorious one but no! I have a father laying fighting for his health while some bitch is out of his mind."

"Taunting me with your words it's very different of you actually. I don't get it, i mean tables have turned already. That, i'm at fault. Is it what you mean?" Pointing at himself then he chuckles. "So, you want me to claim that shitty position back? My sister needs to collect her senses to claim it because i don't belong on it, remember this point Jun. Don't annoy me than you did already."

Jun lungs towards him with a punch on his cheek.

"I hate you! You whom doesn't feel like how i do! Will never get it. We are talking about my father here, don't you just get it. Shouldn't you repay him once?" Panting.

"I don't want. I quit! And this...

He throws back the punch.

"I should return it." Walking away.

"You MF! You don't deserve any good ahead of you!" Shouts Jun.

Inside Mina is all silent. She always wanted yibo to know his place and it seems he knew his place always. He was hurting all the time when she insulted him, how she slapped him the way she wanted, only he always threatened her by his words which of course they did some assaults to her poor soul yet never once, she admitted.

Today the bitchy cousin said stupid words over his brother, she feels like giving him his lesson.

"You disgusting shit!" Jun turns sharply to her. Mina slaps him good enough to gain everyone's attention. "You are his confidant, know that? So don't be this cocky shit next time. I won't guarantee what I'll do. Insult me but not him. I've insulted him enough. Hear me brat?"

"Just Fuck off. I'm going to snitch you to father."

"Go ahead. We should tag along maybe. I'd love to say my forgiveness to uncle!" Pushing Jun aside Mina evaporates a smirk disappearing to return her true self back.

"Here....

Xiao appears with a cup of coffee to yibo who's alone at the hospital garden watching how patients enjoy fresh air after being suffocated inside a lot.

"Thanks." Toasting with Xiao's bottle of water.

"Are you okay? I heard what happened back at the meeting. The unexpected accident. Both."

"I'm fine. I just wish that, how i acted disrespectfully to the meeting will be the right choice i made." Smiling at no body.

"I saw you and Jun fighting. Does it hurt?"

"In times like these everyone will see me as the fault one, i get it because it's true. I acted like a bitch back there, must've hurt his feelings a lot. What he said it's true though. I'm the reason for his father's condition right now. Because i don't know what kind of troubles he went through to do all that." Nodding at himself. "I should chat with him later."

Sighing contently after having a sip.

"It's not your fault. Stop taking the blame." Rubbing his back.

"Thanks for calming me down. I appreciate it." Though nothing will change. Smiling at Xiao.

"The doctor said I'm progressing good. The medicine have helped me a lot. Still six weeks to go and who knows, i might be healed." Happily stating.

"It's good to hear. That way I'll be able to take you even to colder regions. We can travel one-day in my holidays." Side hugging him. "How is it?"

"Sounds nice!" Smiling back.

"Want a kiss." Giving access to his cheek.

"Cheeky." Though Xiao does as he says. "Happy!"

"Hundred times." They all giggle.

*****

Days went by, Jun kept avoiding yibo whenever he wanted. Mina was always under protection by Hong San. Mr Wang's health isn't good either. He had experienced a shock he didn't predict.

When he saw his two kids falling off that ten floor building his heart shook from fear. Losing his first wife was never a pain. Losing his second wife destroyed his life that he didn't thought he could make it today. He hasn't been able to leave his bed in his room hence yibo decided to stay with him until when his health returns back to normal because Mina refused to show herself yet. She's still feeling guilty.

"Is yibo back?"

"He hasn't sir. What else should i do for you?" The head maid asks.

"Has Mina called you?" She only shakes her head. Mr Wang sighs. "Alright. You can go, i don't need anything for the time being."

"Sure."

They say kids are innocent. Parents who lose their kids, how do the move on?

I don't think I could.

Only his mind whispered.

Mina comes out showering, "Aren't you leaving for work?"

"No, actually I took a leave for a month." Spitting on the sink then rinsing his toothbrush.

"Oh, a leave. Why?" Resting her back by the glass door.

Drying his face, "It's for you. I can't leave you alone."

"I'm fine already San?"

"I know. That's why we'll have this month to get closure. We have never dated, we can now. All sorts of bucket lists, make one, we can have our date that way." Kissing her nose.

Following him, "Date!"

"Don't you want?" Snickering.

"Oh, I love it." Smiling.

"Umm... Mina, aren't you going home? It's about your father. Yibo, kept giving me updates on his condition. I'm just asking won't you go and see him?"

Awfully the mood changes in a flick.

"I can't. Not now, for me to face him." Walking towards the bed.

"Isn't it the right choice of time? As a lady, and daughter, it's more lovely and lively when you are with him than yibo. We men can be soft but not like our mothers(ladies) it's the good time to talk a lot and catch up with your father.

Squats in front of her.

"Please- at least I'll have a good relationship with father-in-law too, don't you want it?"

Pink blush spreads over Mina's facade.

"You are starting?"

"Or what should I say to convince you. Is it, that you don't love me anymore?" Horror spreading his face.

"I do! What do you take me of?" Frustration creeping up. "You always ask me that question, why so? I have never asked you back, do you know the reason?" Silence elopes. "Because I trust you. You were true about us having no closure that's why you needed a break, I needed it. But, I redeemed myself to know I'm the one at fault. Please, stop being insecure about our relationship."

"I didn't mean what I said. Don't take it to heart. I know you love me as I do to you. Now, don't be sad, there... good girl." Kissing her both cheeks. "Think about it. He's the only parent you have. I don't want you to regret later. Okay?"

Mina hums out okay.

"Ah, how about we go together? Tomorrow?" Flicking his fingers San points out.

"Tomorrow? I'm not prepared, let's find another day really."

"Tomorrow or else, we should rethink about our relationship."

"San!" Screaming at him.

"Ye'." Dramatically accepting her call.

"You are stupid Hong San? Mature a bit?" Stomping murderously.

"Don't be a scary cat? And I'm mature enough?" Smirking at her. "Tomorrow or-

"Okay! We shall go tomorrow." Scoffing while she makes her way out.

Behind, San types Done towards the number saved a Y****

Next day...

The Wang's mansion is always silent, there are no guards but surveillances speak more. Always greeny and colorful, thanks to the beautiful flowers of each kind on every potions designed.

"When will you be here?" Half sleepy yibo asks

"Later we'll be there." Choosing what to wear from yibo's wardrobe.

"I feel bad leaving you alone while you came so we can be together."

The other side Wei dropped the telephone, all clothes fell on him. Thanks to yibo being a rough guy in terms of his clothes arrangement.

"Give me a second!" Shouting in hopes the phone is still in line.

"Brother! Are you okay?"

"Yeah Cheng? Good i'm not suffocating in these aromatic clothes."

"What a wonderful morning!" Laughing brightly. "Xiao, answer me please....

"I'm listening." Taking back the phone.

"If you look on the top shelf there are boxes, each has clothes, choose one that can fit you."

Xiao can spot five of them.

How much money does he waste on clothes he isn't wearing?

"I'd be willing to waste a lot for you." Smirking. "You said it loud! Learn on it please."

Blush spreads over Xiao's face.

"Sorry...

"Sorry to you. I just embarrassed you." Sticking his tongue out teasingly as if Xiao can see him while the other side he feels like hanging up.

"I'll call you back when we start leaving." Pressing red sign Xiao slams the closet. "Very twisted."

There are frames along the corridor yibo is running with his pajamas. Most of his father and Mina few of him if not three. Some paints brought from the exhibition. The mansion has a lot of shortcuts and once yibo reaches his father's room, it's all alone at the dead end.

"Father...

"Son, come in."

"It's Mina's birthday." Sitting beside him.

"They might be done decorating." Sighing. "I remember it yibo. Both your birthdays. Even your mothers."

"Then why?"

"If i tell you that it was her mother will you believe me?"

Silence shows many. Mr Wang, proceeds.

"She never cared if her daughter celebrated. Banning me from throwing her any party claiming it was a wastage of money. A sinner can never see her flaws, son. But always point other's flaws." Sighing contently. "I blame myself now yibo. I should have played my part as a father. I let a woman control me and hurt her a lot. I hated Mina for no reason. Forgetting will be tough but I want to ask her to do so and move on."

"She'll be here. Say those words to her dad." Giving his shoulder a pat.

"You've grown up to a fine man." Closing his eyes.

"Thanks to you father."

His father has been weak since the incident. Mr Wang, refused to go hospital for check up. They are both scared. Yibo is scared that his father will be suddenly sick while Mr Wang thinks that going to the hospital is just useless. He doesn't wish to know what got wrong in his body.

He will be fine.
