59 When all roads leads to hell

Liling peered at the face in front of her, her brain rejected the meaning it was deciphering from the words he just said.

"Doctor, I don't understand you, my mom was unconscious when she was driven away, how come she had enough strength to kick a bucket, did she wake up? "

The doctor sighed at her reply, he knew she was in the denial stage.

Her mom was okay a few hours ago, when she was checked, it was found that she had a major heart attack which had led to her demise.

He shook his head sadly and he explained in clear concise words.

"What I mean is that, she.., your mom, is dead"

" "

Liling stared at the doctors for a while, she blinked twice and bursted into laughter. She laughed so hard that the doctor feared that something was amiss.

"Doctor, doctor, you are so funny. Haha, I mean this joke really got me, what are you doing here as a doctor, you should be a comedian!. Haha. But doctor, you should not joke this way, it's my mom we are talking about here, okay, okay, just tell me were she is, I want to see her now.. "

"Miss calm down, your mom is gone, and at the moment, she is being carried away to the hospital's mortuary "

This statement annoyed Liling and she immediately stood up, glared at the doctor and walked to the door, ignoring his incessant calls.

As though it was planned, as she opened the door, she recognized a nurse who had rushed into the room at that time, she was pushing a stretcher alongside another nurse, the person on the stretcher had her her whole body covered with a cloth.

Liling didn't talk to them, she just walked towards them and lifted the cloth off the person's face.

There she lay, calm and peaceful. The beautiful face she knew since birth was sleeping an enternal sleep. Her eyes closed and her lips pressed into a thin line.

She was as white as pure snow, and a bit too cold.

The nurses stared at her with great sympathy and pity. Her dad was inside in a coma and her mom dead on a stretcher. Nobody could be able to bear that alone.

They didn't know how to comfort her, they just stood there looking at her pitifully.

But what happened next shocked them both.

Liling who had just seen the most gruesome and heart shattering sight of her life couldn't take it.

Her head was spinning, her eyes blurry and her heart was pushing against her chest, she stumbled back two steps and as a tear escaped from her eyes she fainted.

"MISS!!"

.....

She had told him her street address, but still directed him to her house, but he parked few meters away from her building.

When the car came to a stop, Jin Yue didn't alight from the car immediately. He sat there looking forward blankly. Xin Yong wondered why he was like that, she looked at him for a while and when she saw that he was not going to speak, she turned to open the door.

That's when she realized that he had locked the door. Xin Yong frowned a little but as she wanted to ask him to unlock the door, he finally spoke.

"Sweet, I'm really sorry for what happened earlier... please let's not break up. I'll know my limits next time."

He didn't look at her, obviously because he didn't want to see the expression on her face.

Xin Yong's heart melted at his words. She looked at him for a while and burst into laughter.

"Haha, I was just joking, how can I break up with you? when I told you that I'll break your legs if you leave me, Jin Yue, is that why you've been driving so rashly, uh?, haha.

Are you afraid that I'll leave you for someone else?.. you.. "

When Jin Yue heard that she was joking, his face reddened from pure embarrassment. He quickly cut her off.

"Afraid?, hehe, never!"

He exclaimed as he immediately unlocked the doors and stepped down to avoid further disgracing himself.

Xin Yong immediately came down still laughing at him. She walked over to where he was helping her with her stuff to continue teasing him.

"Sweet, if you continue doing that, I'll go into your house and tell your papa that I'm your fiancé."

Jin Yue smirked at the dumbfounded Xin Yong. He chuckled lightly and pinched her cheeks lightly.

"Alright, I was also joking, let me help with your luggage to your gates, then I'll be going.. "

"No, you can go from here, I'll do it myself"

She embarrassedly took the bag from him leaving the bigger one behind, she started walking away.
