The Devil’s love

Seeing his sister's condition, Chen approached her. "Ning—" Gently caressing her head, he added, "Don't cry."

Pulling away, Yichan wiped her tears away. "Everything's gonna be okay." ​​

"Yichan is right, mom is very strong," Chen assured her.

Pressing her forehead against Chen's shoulder, Ning closed her eyes. "I don't wanna lose her again Chen, I don't."

"Come here." Giving her a hug, he sighed, "I don't want that either." Without saying anything else, he closed his eyes trying very hard to control his emotions. He was feeling as vulnerable as her but he didn't want to break down. He knew he had to stay strong for his family.

"Dad, I don't wanna lose her," Weilong exclaimed before looking at grandpa Yang. "What am I going to do without her? I—"

Cutting him off, grandpa Yang snapped, "Shut up, for once in your life will you stay strong and think of a positive outcome?" Scrunching his brows, he added, "The doctors are treating her, what could go wrong? Nothing is going to happen but if you keep talking shit, I'll throw you out of the hospital."

After a few minutes, the doctor stepped out of the room.

Ning and Chen quickly approached him followed by Weilong and Yichan.

"The patient is out of danger now. Fortunately she was brought here at the right time otherwise things would have been very difficult. We will shift her to the room soon."

After the doctor left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then Linhou arrived along with Jason. "Boss, can I talk to you for a second?"

Gesturing Chen to take care of Ning, Yichan stepped out along with them.

...

After sometime.

As soon Ziyi was shifted to the room, everyone rushed inside to see her.

Ning immediately broke down when she saw her. The emotions in her heart were too overwhelming for her to handle. Though Ziyi was out of danger, she still didn't feel peace at heart. The site of her getting shot right in front of her still flashed in her eyes making her heart ache for her mother.

Gently caressing her head, Grandpa Yang sighed, "She is okay now."

Burying her face on his chest, Ning sobbed, "I don't know what to do grandpa, I—" She was very determined not to make her parents a part of her life until she met Ziyi in the cafe and before the incident happened. But now, her determination was slowly vanishing making her feel vulnerable.

Patting her back. Grandpa Yang said, "Why don't you go home and come back tomorrow?"

When Ning shook her head, Weilong remarked, "Dad is right, you should go home and take some rest. I'll stay here with Ziyi and let you know when she wakes up."

Looking at Chen, grandpa Yang added, "You should also go home and come back tomorrow." Before Chen could say anything, he stated, "Weilong and I will stay here today."

"Dad, you can go home, I—"

Cutting him off, grandpa Yang frowned, "Don't tell your father what to do."

…..

Ning and Yichan's place.

Inside the bedroom.

Gently caressing her cheeks, Yichan said, "Take some rest, I'll order something for dinner, okay?"

Ning nodded head and inquired, "Is Yitian home?"

"I guess he is, why?"

"I don't know if he had anything today. Can you ask him what he wants for dinner and order it for him?" When he nodded his head, she added, "I am really worried about him as well."

"Don't worry about him, I'll talk to him."

…..

Yitian's room.

Sitting on a chair near the open window, Yitian was staring at the sky. He couldn't stop thinking about Liying and the guy he had seen with her during the video call.

"Why aren't you eating properly these days?" Walking inside the room, Yichan frowned. The room was very messy which was very strange. Yitian wasn't the kind of boy who would keep things unorganized.

When he saw Yichan, he quickly got up. "I—I don't feel that hungry these days."

Nodding his head, Yichan sighed, "Do you have something to do?" When he shook his head, he added, "Let's go for a walk then."

"Now?" When he nodded his head, Yitian answered, "Okay."

…..

Garden.

"I heard something happened today. Is everything okay now?"

Yichan nodded his head and answered, "Ning's mother got injured but everything is okay now." Pausing for a while, he added, "You should pay her a visit some day."

"Yes sure, I will," Yitian smiled.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan explained, "When I was of your age, I had a really hard time sorting out my thoughts. Even though brother Bojing was there for me and even grandpa, aunt Wenna and uncle Dao, I didn't like disturbing them all the time so I ended up keeping my thoughts to myself which made things even worse."

"Only after meeting Ning I understood how important it is to express what is there in your heart at least to someone you can trust. Whether it's your friend, relative, cousin or your brother." Looking at Yitian, he added, "Keeping things all by yourself will only make you suffer more. Are you understanding what I am trying to say?"

When he nodded his head, Yichan added, "Sometimes there are things we can't solve or sort out by ourselves but it becomes easier to deal with it after taking help from someone. "

Placing his hand on Yitian's shoulder, he exclaimed, "I am not saying you to share everything with me. I just want you to remember that I will always be there to help you out or may be to guide you if you are stuck somewhere. I know something is bothering you since quite some time now and if you share it with me, I might be able to help."

Sitting on the ground, Yitian sighed in dejection. "Nothing is gonna help."

"And why is it so?" he inquired before sitting beside him.

"Because I messed up things pretty bad this time and there is no way out."
