Bai Cao went towards the palace. She touches the nameplate of the house.

Bai Cao(thinking) - Why does this place looks so familiar? Why does it feel like I have come here before? As much as I remember, I never came to the US before, then why? I haven't even seen this place before, then why? Why do I feel so connected here?

Bai Cao was thinking all this and suddenly, she passed out.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao!

Ting Hao ran towards Bai Cao before she could fall on the street. Bai Cao was not fully unconscious and Ting Hao holds her in his arms. As Ting Hao hold her in his arms, Bai Cao fainted.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao! Bai Cao! Wake up, Bai Cao, please! It's not a joke, Bai Cao. Please! Please, wake up!

Nothing worked. Bai Cao was still unconscious. Then Ting Hao take his phone out of his pocket, opens a browser and searches "Hospital near me". Then he lifts Bai Cao upon his back and runs towards the nearest hospital.

After fifteen minutes of running, Ting Hao finally reached the hospital. He rushed inside and puts Bai Cao on a stretcher. At that time, some nurses and a female doctor came near them.

Ting Hao - Doctor, please save her!

Doctor - Relax, sir. We are going to examine her but first, you go and fill-up the form. Don't worry.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Then Ting Hao rushed towards the reception and starts filling up the form.

On the other side, the Doctor was examining Bai Cao. Then suddenly, Ting Hao entered without permission. The doctor was shocked.

Doctor - Sir, what are you doing? Please go out. Let us examine her.

Ting Hao - I will be just standing here.

Doctor - I understand your situation. But please, bear with us and trust us. Please go out and call your other family members or friends too.

Ting Hao nodded and went outside.

On the other side, everyone reached home and were waiting for Ting Hao and Bai Cao to come.

Ting Yi - Where did they go? Why have they not reached yet? Did something happen? I shouldn't have suggested this game. We all know that Feng Yun hall is behind Bai Cao and right now they both are alone too.

Chang An - Ting Yi, relax. Nothing would have happened.

Ting Yi - But what if something did happen?

Chang An - If something happened, then your brother is there to protect himself and Bai Cao too. And Bai Cao doesn't need anyone to protect her, she can easily handle ten people alone.

Then suddenly, Chang An's phone ringed. It was Ting Hao's call. Chang An picks up the call.

On the phone -

Ting Hao - Chang An!

Chang An - Ting Hao, where are you guys?

Ting Hao - We are at a hospital.

Chang An - What! Why?

Ting Hao - Bai Cao fainted. I don't know why. But she did.

Chang An - You are not joking right?

Ting Hao - Chang An, you also know that I won't say anything like this about Bai Cao as a joke.

Chang An - Yeah. Which hospital are you in?

Ting Hao - I will send you the location.

Chang An - Okay. We all are coming.

Call ended.

Ting Yi - What happened?

Chang An - Bai Cao fainted. She is admitted to the hospital. Ting Hao is sending the location.

Then suddenly, Chang An's beeped.

Chang An - No, actually Ting Hao has already sent the location. Let's go.

Everyone - Yeah.

Then everyone sat in the car and went towards the hospital. Chang An drove really fast and they reached before the doctor could finish examining Bai Cao.

At the hospital reception

Chang An - Is there a registration in the name of Qi Bai Cao?

Receptionist - No, sir.

Chang An - Fang Ting Hao?

Receptionist - No, sir.

Chang An - What the hell! In whose name did he register? Let me call him.

Before he could call Ting Hao, Ting Hao himself came.

Ting Hao - Guys, the room is this way.

Chang An - Let's go guys.

Receptionist - They are all Bai Cao's friends, then why were they saying the wrong name? Maybe because they all are stressed and took her previous name. But why am I thinking about them? I should do my work.

In front of Bai Cao's room, Chang An and Ting Hao were standing in front of the gate, Yi Feng and Fei Yu were standing by the wall, and the girls were sitting. Then suddenly, the doctor opened the door and sees Ting Hao and Chang An standing.

Ting Hao - How is she?

Doctor - She is fine but still unconscious.

Ting Hao - But why did she fainted?

Doctor - Maybe because she got a shock. I am not sure but can you tell me what happened just before she fainted? I mean, when you hold her, was she fully fainted?

Ting Hao - No. When I hold her, she shivered and then fainted.

Doctor - Then I am right, she fainted because of shock. But she is okay now, her anxiety level was really high so we gave her an injection to make her sleep for a while. So, don't worry, she is not unconscious, she is just sleeping.

Ting Hao - Thank you, doctor!

Doctor - You are most welcome.

Then the doctor went towards the reception.

Doctor - Can I get the registration form of the patient I just attended?

Receptionist - Yeah, sure.

Then the receptionist gave her the registration form of Bai Cao and the doctor started reading it.

After reading

Doctor - Lucky girl. I hope I will be as lucky as her.

On the other side, everyone was inside Bai Cao's room.

Chang An - Ting Hao, what shock did she get?

Ting Hao - I don't know. But wait... she was about to get hit by a car but I pulled her away. Maybe this is what shocked her.

Chang An - Really! Bai Cao got shocked by this? Whatever.

Ting Hao - Guys, I think you all should go back home and take some sleep. I will be here.

Xiao Ying - You should take some sleep too, Senior Ting Hao. Why don't you all go and I will stay here?

Ting Yi - No. I am going to stay here and you all are going home.

All three of them looked at each other.

Ting Hao, Ting Yi & Xiao Ying(together) - I am going to stay here.

Ting Hao - What the hell is going on! I said I am staying here.

Chang An - Guys, you all need some rest. You should all go home and sleep. Come back in the morning.

Ting Hao, Ting Yi & Xiao Ying - No.

Then suddenly, a nurse came inside.

Nurse - What are you all doing? Let the patent sleep. You guys are making a lot of noise. Even people outside are getting disturbed by you all.

Ting Yi - Nurse, you tell us, who should stay here?

Nurse - I think, the person who brought her here should stay with her because he is her...

Before she could complete it, Ting Hao interrupted.

Ting Hao - See, I told you all that I should stay here. Thank you so much, nurse.

Ting Yi - Whatever.

Chang An - So, it's decided, Ting Hao is staying here. We should leave now.

Everyone - Yeah.

Then they all went back to their home and Ting Hao was sitting beside Bai Cao. Ting Hao hold Bai Cao's hand.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, please wake up. I don't want to see you lying on the hospital bed. Please wake up.

At 5: 50, Ting Hao was sleeping with his head on Bai Cao's bed and holding her hand. Then suddenly, Bai Cao woke up.

Bai Cao - What am I doing here? What happened?

Then she saw Ting Hao holding her hand. As she saw Ting Hao, she remembered what happened in front of the palace.

Bai Cao again started thinking about it and suddenly, her head started aching. She started hearing some sounds ringing in her ears.

Sounds - I love you, you know that, right? Nothing will happen to you, I will save you. I love you.

Bai Cao - What is happening? What are these sounds? Whose voice is this? Huh! My head!

Then again, Bai Cao fainted and fell on the bed.

Bai Cao was sweating. Bai Cao was watching a dream.

In her dream -

A woman was holding a little girl in her arms, there was fire all around them. There was no way out and the woman's leg was injured too. The woman was burning but she was not letting a fire flack touch the little girl.

Little girl(crying) - Mumma!

Woman - Don't worry. Everything will be alright. You are going to get out of here.

Little girl(crying) - Mumma, your skin is burning. It must be paining.

The woman looked at her hands and saw that her hands are burning.

Woman - It's nothing. I am okay. You only say that mommy is the strongest. And you are right, I am the strongest. So, how am I going to be in pain? Can you sing the song you sang for me on mother's day? I want to hear it.

Little girl - Okay

Little girl(singing) -

You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You'll always see.

I loved you, mom, I love you, mom and I'll love you forever.

Woman - I love you too. My dearest, Bai Cao, always remember, I am proud of you and I love you.

Little girl - I love you too.

Then suddenly, there was a blast.

Little girl - Mumma!

And the little girl fainted.

In reality -

Bai Cao(shaking her head) - No! No! No!

Then suddenly Bai Cao got up yelling

Bai Cao - Mumma!

Bai Cao was breathing fast as if she was not able to breathe. Then suddenly, she felt someone's hand coming on her shoulder. She turns towards that person and sees Xiao Ying there. Ting Hao was not there.

Looking at Xiao Ying, Bai Cao started crying and hugged her.

Xiao Ying - You again saw that nightmare?

Bai Cao(nodding) - Hmm...

Looking at Bai Cao, Xiao Ying started crying too.

Bai Cao - Why do I see these nightmares, Xiao Ying? Why? What really happened?

Xiao Ying - What do you see in your nightmares, Bai Cao? Why don't you tell me?

Bai Cao - Because I am scared. I am scared that I will lose you too as I lost Guang Ya's mom.

Xiao Ying - You still think that she died because you told her about your nightmare.

Bai Cao - Yeah, because this is the truth.

Xiao Ying - No, Bai Cao. She died because she was suffering from cancer. Not because of your nightmare.

Bai Cao - What do you mean? Guang Ya's mom was suffering from cancer?

Xiao Ying - Yes. And Guang Ya and your master also don't know about it. She was in the last stage of cancer.

Bai Cao - How do you know about it?

Xiao Ying - Because I saw her reports.

Bai Cao - When?

Xiao Ying - A few months later, I went to your master's house because I was not able to find something. I thought that it would be there because I went there. I was searching for it and suddenly, I found a box. And you know that I am curious to know everything, so I opened it and saw the reports.

Bai Cao - So, you are saying that she died because of cancer?

Xiao Ying - Yeah. Now, tell me about your nightmare.

Bai Cao - No, I don't want to. I just want to go out of this room. I am not able to breathe.

Then suddenly, someone knocked.

Xiao Ying - You can come in.

It was Chang An who knocked.

Chang An - Do you want to go out, Bai Cao? Actually, Ting Hao is asking.

Xiao Ying - How did Senior Ting Hao know that Bai Cao want to go out?

Chang An - Through telepathy, I guess.

Xiao Ying - What a connection!

Bai Cao - I actually do want to go out.

Chang An - Okay, then come. I will help you.

Then Chang An and Xiao Ying helped Bai Cao to stand up.

Bai Cao - It's okay. I can walk myself.

Chang An - Yeah.

Then all three of them went out of the hospital room. As they all went out, Ting Hao came out of the washroom inside that same hospital room.
