"Yaaay!"
"But not today."
"Nooo!" Lee Ai shouted. "If not today then when will I get discharged so that I can see his dog?" She asked grumpily.
"Weekend," came Ye Chaoxiang short reply. The news made Lee Ai's beautiful gray eyes widened in shock.
"WHAT? That is way too long. It's Wednesday today. The weekend is still too far. My poor heart will not be able to wait so long. It will die of longing and anxiety. Too much pressure," she dramatically clutched the left side of her chest.
"You accept or you never get discharged till next week. Choice is yours. You either take it or you leave it," Ye Chaoxiang stated feigning nonchalance.
"No fair. You are using your doctor power to cheat. You are cheater," Lee Ai said and slammed her little hand on his desk. Yang Chen was finding it very difficult to hold in his laughter. But seeing these two arguing was cracking him up. He could not bear it anymore and laughed out loud.
"What is so funny, moron?" Ye Chaoxiang glared at him.
"Ahem, it's nothing." Looking at the cute kid on his lap, Yang Chen pinched her puffed cheeks lightly. "Well if you look at the bright side princess, wait till weekend, you will have plenty of time to play with the dog. Oh, you will even get to see my mum and play with her too. Is that not awesome?" He asked.
Putting her finger on her right cheek, Lee Ai weighed the options given to her. "Hmm if I insist on going now, I will have only a little time to play with the dog. But if I force my heart to bear longer, it will be healed within the plenty time I will get to play with the dog and Chenchen's mummy. Fine, I will wait but on one, no two conditions."
Without waiting for them to retaliate, she continued. "First, Chenchen will accompany me so that I do not get bored and secondly, handsome doctor will get me my favorite candies or I will refuse to take those awful drugs and painful needle and trouble every person in the hospital. Deal?"
Shaking his head in disbelief, Ye Chaoxiang smiled and agreed to her conditions. After discussion for a while, Yang Chen left the hospital while Ye Chaoxiang took Lee Ai to her ward. He stayed with her until she fell asleep before he checked on his other patients and left for home.
Today was indeed stressful both physically and mentally.

A week leap.
The morning came in City S. People had started preparing to go about their daily business. Shops began to open, cars had started moving on the road and the market was beginning to get lively.
Life in City S was so peaceful. Bai Renxiang and her mother were also settling in nicely. After the arrived at the city that day, Old man Jiang welcomed them with open arms. He was having mixed feelings when he saw them.
His granddaughter that used to follow him everywhere when she was little had now grown into a beautiful and mature lady. His daughter, Jiang Meilin was still unconscious and it pricked his heart to see her like that. Two of them had suffered so much in life and he couldn't do anything to help them. He felt useless.
If only his daughter had just listened to him and not run off to get married to that Bai scummbag, she and her daughter would have not gone through what they had gone through now. But not to worry, he is with them now and he vowed to not let any harm come near them. He would guard and watch them like a mother hen does to her chicks.
Stretching on her bed, Bai Renxiang woke up to see the beautiful sky and the sun peeking through the clouds from her window. Such a lovely sight to start one's day. After taking her bath and brushing her teeth, Bai Renxiang changed into a fairly loosed red, checked patterned pants that had a black band seen to the waist and ankles and a white round neck top with different drawings on it. She packed her hair into a messy bun and headed to her mother's room to see if she had woken up.
"Mum," she opened Jiang Meilin's room door and found that she was not there. She went downstairs and a sweet aroma assulted her nostrils. Trailing the aroma, it led her to the kitchen where she saw her mother in an apron tied on her body and she was skilfully flipping over an egg on the pan.
"Good morning mum. How was your night?" Bai Renxiang asked as she hugged and planted a kiss on her mother's cheek.
"Good morning. My night was splendid. What about yours?" Jiang Meilin replied as she hugged her daughter and placed a light kiss on her forehead.
"Never been better mum. I love this city and this house and my bed and my never changing sweet grandpa and also the fact that you are still with me," Bai Renxiang said with a bright smile on her gorgeous face.
