บท 217: Patients
"Jian, how are we going to celebrate?" Han Meixiu uttered after a while. Her head was still half-burrowed on his chest, enjoying his unique scent.
This kind of masculine scent could really make her relax. His heart's steady beating sounded like a rhythmic music to her ears.
Liu Zijian halted.
Wasn't celebration all the same? Could there be a difference that he probably needed to know?
Since he couldn't spurt out just any random answer, he inhaled deeply before speaking. The answer he came up with was based from his own experience.
"As usual. Family gathering?"
"Alright. I was thinking in that same line, too." Han Meixiu answered. Although she attended quite a number of celebration, the majority of the time she was just plain observer.
There were actually times she didn't see the point why celebrants would invite so many people when most of them wouldn't express a genuine feeling.
If that's the case, why invite them in the first place?
Thus a family gathering would be the best type of celebration for her. All would surely give their heartfelt happiness of her pregnancy.
Feeling the serene atmosphere, drowsiness started to take over again in Han Meixiu's body but was immediately dissolved with Liu Zijian's phone call.
Liu Zijian simply stretched his hand to answer the call. Normally he would go out when receiving any call but right now, he wanted to indulge himself in this cozy and blissful feeling.
Since he couldn't ignore the call after seeing Ye Long's name, he simply answered it while still embracing his wife.
"What is it?" He asked in a calm unhurried voice.
String of words came after. It was like the other person was reporting something to Liu Zijian.
Han Meixiu wasn't a bit interested but while her husband was engaging in a call she noticed a subtle movement from him. He peeked at her for a time before he ended the call.
"Something's wrong?" She asked as she moved into a more comfortable position where she could see his face clearly.
"Your father…"
"He didn't come back?" Han Meixiu interrupted his words.
Liu Zijian simply nodded. Ye Long told him that Han Yun Xiang after going out with both his wife and brother, didn't go back to where he usually recuperated.
"I expected as much." Han Meixiu softly continued.
When her father got off the truck and gave a lingering look as he walked away, she felt he was already planning to leave.
But unlike before, his back didn't give her a sense of loss and loneliness.
Even that was the second time he turned his back to her, the feeling was totally different.
Han Meixiu probably guessed that her father would eventually settle what he needed to settle. Although he wasn't able to fulfill his promise to her that both of her parents would visit her, she eventually met them both, on different occasions.
That itself was more than enough. Although it deviated from her expectation, she still met them nevertheless.
Liu Zijian studied Han Meixiu's expression for a time before he totally calmed down. Originally, he thought she might be heart broken by the sudden departure of her father. On the contrary, she looked calm and at peace.
Since his wife didn't give a fuss about her own father's sudden decision, Liu Zijian let it go as well.
He was thinking that maybe both the father and the daughter already came into a tacit understanding. He only needed to provide assistance if needed.
"We need to schedule a thorough check up for you." He said changing the subject.
When Han Meixiu was discovered to be pregnant, the doctor also advised to have a more thorough check up to know all the details of her pregnancy.
"But Doctor Tang isn't available yet." Han Meixiu nonchalantly answered. It's actually hard for her to be comfortable with someone especially if she would be examined upside down. Not literally though.
Hearing his wife's answered, Liu Zijian could only yield. He more or less calculated that few days wouldn't be a problem as long as Han Meixiu wouldn't encounter any outrageous things for the next days to come.
"I'll ask when could be the earliest possible date we can meet her."
"En. Also, if possible, get the last schedule." She added and resumed her initial position before the call.

Another report came in but just like yesterday, the content wasn't really relevant.
Liu Zilong sighed.
No matter which angle and method he used, the results were just the same. Those women were killed. It was either that's the truth or the other party were really good in covering their tracks.
It seemed he really needed to let go of something that has been bothering him.
It's probably the best choice.
The problem is, he promised his brother he would stay for three weeks. If he would say he wanted to take it back, Liu Zijian would probably not agree especially now that he's focused on taking care of his wife.
Thinking that Liu Zijian was really having a family in its truest sense, Liu Zilong smiled faintly.
A wife and soon, a baby.
Slowly but surely, his view about his brother was changing. Initially, it was still quite unusual to see him getting a wife and treating her like a treasure.
Now that Liu Zijian is going to be a father, he somewhat still couldn't imagine it.
Comparing the two of them, his brother actually has more capability raising a family than him. Thus becoming an old uncle in Liu Zilong's thoughts wasn't really an impossible image to form.
He laughed slightly.
That's correct, he didn't plan on having a family.
Being tied to someone for an entire lifetime wasn't something he could do. He's perfectly fine the way he lives his life.
The sound of the office's door opening and closing caused him to retract his thoughts and seeing Ye Ming almost made him run away.
The capable assistant of his brother was holding some documents again. To his eyes, those were a form of torture.

"Leader, what should we do with those people?"
Zhang Huiling looked blankly at the man in front of him.
Her assistant was asking about the pests that she didn't kill yet. It's been a few days since she ordered him to imprison them. Until now, she still didn't know if she would totally silence them off or torture them and interrogate.
If only Liu Zijian killed them directly, then she wouldn't be in this kind of dilemma.
Since she already had most of the information she needed, Zhang Huiling supported her chin with her hand as she pondered.
The man whose head was still lowered, didn't utter a single word afterwards. The longer the silence inside the room, the harder it was for him to breathe.
He couldn't even form any thoughts as he should focus all his attention to the woman in front of him. Being a capable person beside her, wasn't easy but he didn't want to trade his position to someone else.
"Did you separate them?"
After a while Zhang Huiling asked.
"Yes."
"Let them be first." She simply continued. If she's not going to do anything, then the paranoia would eventually grow to those people.
Who knows maybe she could get something unexpected through this.
"Understood."
"Update about the patients?"
The assistant known as Bolin knew that there were only two persons considered 'patients' in the leader's eyes.
Patients. One of them would be Han Meili who was still in coma until this now. Although her condition was stabilized, she was still unresponsive.
The other one was more like a special type of 'patient'. He's similar to an experimental subject. He's precisely the Third Young Master Chen.
As for what the leader wanted as a result of her experiment, nobody knew. They just followed her orders.
After reporting Bolin was dismissed.
