Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 73: Dramatic Family

[POV Bai Chang]

Today from the morning, after Qiang left for the bidding contest, I was sticking to my system.

It was a little hard getting used to the feeling of waiting around. I waited by my system and then stared into space. When that didn't work out, I simply picked up a book and read; all the while, keeping an eye out for any activity on the system.

After a hurried down breakfast and restless wait through a major part of the morning, finally, the moment of truth came. Qiang jacked my tailor-made program for the contest.

Now it is time for some snooping around government IT servers and fishing for relative sensitive information.

It took about an hour. With the help from 'Jiffy', I created a copy server for the data I wanted.

I then walked around and stretched my body a little with light exercise in the study room. 

Now, it is time to read through them and start classifying them.

I got started

****

During the evening, as I was resting in my backyard garden, two people walked in the door of the main villa at the same time. 

"Hi my little munchkin, how are you? Did you miss me?" I walked towards an adorable baby dressed in cute bunny hoodie and shorts.

The baby bunny rushed towards me and hugged me tightly.

"Mamma, do you not love me?" he asked.

('What the hell! What made him feel like that?')

"Baby who said this to you?" I asked him with concern.

Instead of answering he asked me another question, "Mamma, am I a nuisance to you?"

(Like seriously!)

I tightly roll the little bunny into my arms as I pat his head gently, "Little Munchkin, always know this- that no matter what, Mamma loves you the most, munchkin."

He looked up towards my face as if to confirm that I mean, what I said.

(Who the hell hurt my baby? I will make them pay with their blood, sweat and tears!)

I held on to my little munchkin as I finally looked towards the second person who entered the villa.

"Hey Qiang, how was the day?" I asked him.

He was not looking comfortable for some reason, 

"Did something unexpected happen at the event?" I asked while my brows furrowed.

"Nothing serious, we will talk later in the evening," he replied.

Now and then his eyes flitted towards his son, in my arms.

"Munchkin, don't you want to greet papa?" I asked.

He looked up, towards his father, and after some time greeted him, "Good evening, Papa".

Qiang walked towards us and simply patted Xiao Wei's head while his other hand nestled down and sat at my waist.

I look towards him and he softly holds my gaze.

"You all can stuff me with more dog food later, freshen up, will you? Xiao Wei comes to uncle, we will get you washed up and changed, and Mr Hu, you too." Zhang Wei suddenly walked in on us.

Qiang pecked on my forehead and then took Xiao Wei from my arms, "Let me get this boy up, my dear you rest down here. We will join you shortly," and together they walked towards the stairs and left the room.

It didn't miss my eyes that after the chat they had in the garden, the last time; they are more relaxed towards each other. At least relatively more relaxed than initially when they met.

Well that a mystery that will get solved with time. No one could rush the process.

I laid down on the chair as I went back to admiring the night bloom flowers in the garden and the chilly wind. It still hasn't snowed heavily yet, this year. 

(Maybe we won't have a white Christmas this year.)

"You should now come inside, otherwise you will catch a cold. It is not a good prospect for your body at the moment," Zhang Wei reminded me from behind.

"I'll be back in a few moments," I replied.

"You said that to me an hour ago. Now you walk inside into a warm room ASAP," he spoke firmly.

"Okay, I am getting inside," I replied reluctantly.

I walked inside and immediately Zhang Wei drags me towards the room heater to stand by its vicinity.

"Stand here obediently and slowly warm your body up. I don't get it, why do you have to freeze yourself outside, in this kind of weather every day?" He complained.

"It helps to clear up my cluttered mind," I muttered.

His hands stopped for a second, the warm heated towel, hanging onto his wrist.

"Are you okay? Is there something, you haven't told us? Do we call upon Dr Lee?" He threw random questions at me one after the other.

"What happened to her? Why suddenly call Dr Lee?" Qiang's voice interrupted our conversation.

"Relax Qiang, Zhang Wei here is over-reacting, just because I am lazing around in the backyard garden."

Instead, he turned to Zhang Wei, "What happened?"

"She said that chilly wind helps her to declutter her mind," he replied without hesitation.

"Seriously, you guys are over-reacting!"

"When was your last routine check-up?" he asked.

Before I could answer, Zhang Wei, answered for me, "She had her last check-up four months back, next check-up was scheduled for after six months."

"Okay I will call him up right now, we will reschedule the medical check-up for this week," he turned towards me, "how does that sound to you?" he asked.

"Why bother to even ask now?" I sullenly replied.

"Don't pout, it is serious. We will just get a regular check-up. Even me and Xiao Wei will join you. It would be a family health routine check-up. I will check with our parents, we will schedule their medical check-up with us too. Okay," He looked at me with eyes filled with concern. I turned towards Zhang Wei, but even he sided with Qiang, 

Finally admitting defeat, I raised my hands and left them standing there.

I listened as Qiang called up his parents and got them to clear their schedules to attend a family health check-up. Then he rang up Dr Lee and simply ordered him to prepare some doctors and keep all types of medical equipment ready and on stand by.

(This is way over my head! Do they have to be so dramatic!)

'Just thinking about those archaic medical pieces of equipment, gives me creeps. Do I have to really suffer?'

While I am contemplating my day as of tomorrow, Qiang wrapped me in his arms from behind.

"I know you do not like hospitals, so we will be there briefly, it is a VVIP section of the hospital, so the process would be smooth," he spoke in my ears.

I am still mad at him for all his shenanigans.

"How about tonight we go to the forest abode in the other villa?" he asked in an attempt to cheer me up.

After thinking through the pros and cons, I weekly consented.

So after dinner, we i.e. I, Qiang and Xiao Wei walked towards the other villa towards the forest abode that Qiang gifted me for our engagement.

****

Inside the forest abode-

We are on the first floor of the building, the night sky is all clear. There were a few dimly lit stars still visible, while a bright pale moon with its light lit up the sky.

"Mamma, would you sing a lullaby?" Xiao Wei asked

I look up at the sky and then around me.

A soft deep rug covered the floor. The room was heated up by a room heater. The roof was open to a beautiful night sky beyond a heavy glass circular window.

And I am surrounded by some good people who care about me, 

"Okay," I replied.

I started to sing him a lullaby-

"Oh my sleeping child

The world so wild

But you build your own paradise

That's one reason why

I'll cover you sleeping, child

The milky way upon the heavens

Is twinkling just for you

And Mr Moon, he came by

To say goodnight to you

I sing for you

I sing for my mother

We're praying for the world

And for the people everywhere

Gonna show them all we care

Oh, my sleeping child

The world's so wild

But you built your own paradise

That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child

If all the people around the world

They had a mind like yours

We'd have no fighting and no wars

There would be lasting peace on earth

If all the kings and all the leaders

Could see you here this way

They would hold the earth in their arms

They would learn to watch you play (They would learn to watch)...

(And so did the night drifted by)
