To Love You Again

Chapter 12 - Mysterious Boy (II)

From what she could tell, all the doctors were in VIP room. It would probably take two hours.

Xiong Zhi already computing her time if she could manage to visit two places today.

If it was two hours, then she could only wait for tomorrow for her to visit the two places.

She turned back and was about to go downstairs in waiting area when she suddenly wanted to give a shot and find Dr. Beiquing.

\'Maybe he\'s outside the room. Maybe I could talk to him.\'

Having this decision, she went to the upper floor where the VIP patients reside.

She used the stairs because she knew the moment she step out of elevator in the VIP floor, security guards would come to her.

Since she was going to wait, why not try to find Dr. Beiquing first? Maybe her luck would be good.

After many floors, she arrived at the VIP floor.

As usual, the stairs had signs saying? \'Used by staff only. Please proceed in the VIP entrance to enter.\'

She passed the sign board and quietly walked. She peeked around in the silent hallway.

From afar, she could saw two bodyguard in every door. In this hallway. It only had four doors. So each room was big.

Between the two doors was another hallway.

Since she did not see Dr. Beiquing in this hallway she needed to go to another hallway. But the problem was she had to pass to the four body guards who was guiding the two doors.

Xiong Zhi observed them. The guards from the left door talked silently to each other, while the two guards from the right room was standing with stern faces.

After a while a radio was heard from the guards in each door. After responding the guards who receive a radio left and went to the other hallway. There was now only one guard in each room.

The guard in the left room was feeling bored because he was alone.

He walked to the right door and chatted with the guard.

Xiong Zhi saw this chance. If she run now while they were busy chatting and the room that was nearer in the hallway had no guards it was possible to go unnoticed.

Xiong Zhi did not lose any time and run to the next hallway without giving them a glance. She safely passed the next hallway.

She leaned on the wall. Her heart was still beating fast because of the run. Xiong Zhi never did sports. So,it was a challenge for her to run and sneak.

Xiong Zhi felt exhilarated. In her last lifetime, she never did this. She remembered a scene in an action movie where the leads was sneaking to get an important file.

Xiong Zhi pretended she was a spy. She liked the feeling. Her heart was beating so fast with anticipation. She was clearly enjoying herself.

In this hallway there was no guards. But it had CCTV in every pillar.

That was strange.

There should be guards here. Where are they?

Nevertheless, she did not see whom she wanted to see. So she proceed to another hallway while avoiding CCTV\'s camera.

The next hallway was different. Because the entrance had a glass door.

Xiong Zhi had an idea what this hallway for. It was for the VIP among the VIPs. It had probably only had one room.

She opened it and entered. Since she saw nothing in the hallway she proceed to the next hallway. She was just about to turn left to the hallway when she was collided to something. Because of the impact her butt kissed the ground. She groaned in pain.

"Sorry..." When she heard a soft voice Xiong Zhi looked up. But she only managed to see his back and his silver hair.

The boy was tall and she could guessed that he was the same age as her. He was wearing a hospital gown.

The boy was running. What she was running from she did not know and did not care to. She stand up but then she heard distinctive shouts. She saw several guards running in her direction.

Shooot! How did they found out?!

Xiong Zhi was very careful. She even avoided the guards and the cameras. If she was? spy, she would be good one.

She never intended to get caught in the first place.

If she got caught it would be troublesome. Her identity would be investigated and they would know that her ID was fake.

If her identity was find out the old man surely be displeased. He might break his deal to her.

Understanding this, she turned and run. She could still see the silver boy\'s back and followed him. Because she did not know where to run he followed the silver boy who seemed familiar with the way. When he turned left, she would turn left, when he entered a small door, she also entered, when he run upstairs in the fire exit, she also followed.

The silver boy did not know that Xiong Zhi was escaping too and following his escape route.

He arrived at roof top and run towards the railing. He climbed at the top of the railing and stand there.

The silver boy opened his arm wide and closed his eyes. It looked like he wanted to jump any moment.

Xiong Zhi arrived at the rooftop. Seeing the place Xiong Zhi cursed inwardly. How she did not notice that they were running upstairs. She should run downstairs!

She was about to turn back when she heard a shout.

"Why do you despise me so much and cursed my fate?! Where is the place I should die? At his mansion? At my mother\'s grave? In my big brother\'s place? Or here? The man I called father killed my mother. The man I trust wanted me to die! I hate them both! Is my death would give them that satisfaction? If it was, I should rather die while telling their grave sins!" The silver boy said with great grievance.

Xiong Zhi turned and found the boy standing at the top of the railing. His eyes still closed, the wind made his hospital gown fluttered, and his arms were stretched out.

Xiong Zhi find this scene amusing. It reminded her of declamations she watched when she was a child.

When the silver boy did not say anything else, Xiong Zhi walked to his side and looked down. This hospital building had 36 floors. Xiong Zhi wondered if the silver boy jump and died, would he felt any pain? Or just a second pain then die? She was truly curious. But still with this height, the body would not make it intact.

"That\'ll hurt." Xiong Zhi muttered to herself.

However, the silver boy heard it clearly and was startled that someone was beside him. Because of his shock, his stand was faltered and his feet slip away. He tried to balance himself to not fall down but failed.

When his two feet both slip away. The silver boy got really scared. He never felt this terrified and scared before. He was never afraid of height. He always did this. But when he saw he was about to fall he got really terrified at the height. He would surely die!

\'I\'m going to die.\'

But

He managed to hold on to the railings. His feet was suspended in air. He was using all his strength to hold at the railings. He gritted his teeth.

He was really afraid

He was really scared

He was terrified.

He almost experienced death.

He never thought that he would be afraid so much. If he did not hold on he would be gone now. Thinking he was about to be gone earlier he felt bitter and pained.

"I thought you want to die? Why you changed your mind?" Xiong Zhi said nonchalantly with cold voice.

But the truth was, Xiong Zhi really got scared when he was about to fall. She even run to his side to hold his hands. She sighed with relief that he managed to hold on to the railings.

But her face and tone tell a different story.

The silver boy looked up at Xiong Zhi. He cannot see her face because of the cap but he could hear her cold voice.

\'How could a girl be so heartless?! She can stand seeing me die here.\'

Then he remembered that he has a father who could kill anyone even his blood relative for power, and a brother who would betray his younger brother and poisoned him to death to just eliminate a future rival. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth. This world and the people who lived in were ruthless.

When his brain registered Xiong Zhi\'s words he laughed.

This laughter contained his bitterness, his pain, his hopelessness, his hatred.

That\'s right, how many time he attempted to suicide. He wanted to die , he always did. That\'s why he did not stop drinking the poison his brother gave him.

He had already gave up his life.

But when he almost experience death earlier, he had only one thought.

He wanted to live.
