Pacing back and forth outside Wu Zihao's ward, Song Jia tried calling Wu Zhang again but the call didn't go through, just like it had been happening since yesterday. Her forehead was marred with lines of worry because this had never happened before. It had been more than twenty-four hours and Wu Zhang neither called her or answered her calls and to worsen it, now it was turned off since the morning.
Before she could dial his number again, Wei Xin tapped her shoulder from behind. "Where did you go all of a sudden?" Song Jia couldn't feel more troubled right now and it showed on her face. On one hand, she had been trying to call Wu Zhang all in vain and on the other hand, Wu Zihao was here in the hospital. His injury was deep and he had lost a lot of blood, that compiled with the shocking amount of alcohol that he had consumed, he had not yet regained consciousness. Seeing Wei Xin brought her some relief.
"I went to see Jin Qingling."
"You did? What did she say?"
Talking about Jin Qingling made Wei Xin's expression turn bitter. "She said nothing. But I think my talk has affected her to some extent"
"Why did you even go?" She asked with care in her voice, because Wei Xin didn't look quite good. And being Wei Xin's friend, she, of course, empathized with her friend.
Her question made Wei Xin press her lips together. After thinking about it for a moment, she slowly said, "With a hope to help both of them make one last effort to detangle the misunderstandings between them. Although I really want her not to come, I still hope she does."
"And what if she decided still not to come?"
"Then I will help him come out of the misery. But they both deserve a last chance. It's up to her now if she uses it to rekindle their love or to give it a closure. "
The only intention behind her paying Jin Qingling a visit was to pull Wu Zihao out of his misery. It was hard for her to see him in this state and she knew that even if he recovered physically, he would not be able to come out of it emotionally and Jin Qingling was the only person who could bring him out of this state.
No matter how hard it was for her to accept the truth, but she knew she was not the woman that he needed behind him right now and her love for him was too selfless to let him hurt himself. She had visited Jin Qingling just with a hope that after hearing about his injury, she might give sorting things out with him a thought.
Song Jia held Wei Xin's hand and gently pressed it. "You didn't have to. Don't hurt yourself."
"I won't," Wei Xin nodded and forced a small smile on her lips. "Anyway, how is he doing now?"
"He has caught alcohol poisoning. Good thing we found him in time, it could have turned deadly otherwise." Wei Xin couldn't express the sinking feeling that she got in her heart at that time. Both the friends just looked in each other's eyes and Song Jia gave her an assuring smile.
"He'll be fine." She softly whispered to comfort her friend. "A few IV drips will do."
"Yeah."
While the two friends were talking, the sound of a few footsteps drew closer. They turned around to see Mo Biyu and Matriarch Wu, along with a bodyguard approaching them. Mo Biyu's eyes looked red from crying and Grandma Wu was even though quiet, her eyes reflected the concern for her grandson.
"How is my son?" Mo Biyu rushed towards Song Jia to ask.
"He is stable, don't worry."
"Let's see him once." Matriarch suggested and the bodyguard that was accompanying them opened the door for them to step inside. Wei Xin stayed outside with Song Jia because she could not find it in herself to see him.
Song Jia peeped at her phone screen for the nth time and Wei Xin who had been noticing it finally asked. "Is something the matter?"
"I have been trying to contact Wu Zhang, his number is not reachable." Her thumb was restlessly tapping the screen.
"Let me try once." This time Wei Xin tried with her phone but the result was the same.
"Try Li Jing's number. See if it connects."
Wei Xin pressed the keys on her screen and waited for the call to go through, but shook her head after a while.
"It has never happened before. Wu Zhang always calls me at small intervals whenever he is out of the city."
"Might be busy?" Wei Xin tried to console her.
"I hope so too."

Jin Qingling woke up with a splitting headache, rubbing her temples. She pulled the duvet away and rested her head against the headboard after she sat up. Conversation with Wei Xin started running in her mind again, reminding her that Wu Zihao was still in the hospital.
As the entire day recalled in her head, she realized she doesn't remember anything after getting drunk at the bar. So how did she end up at home, she thought to herself.
She tried hard to remember, but she could not. She was way too drunk. As she pondered, the door to her room was parted and Gen stepped in with a cup in his hand. "You are awake?"
"Yeah... but how did I get home?"
"You don't remember?" He asked a question of his own.
She pressed her lips and just shook her head.
"I brought you back. The manager of the club gave me your whereabouts." He walked to stand near the headstand and placed the cup on it. "It's a hangover drink, you will feel better with it. Drink it while it's hot."
"Thanks."
Before she could say anything further, Gen spoke first, "I will head out now, got some important work."
Jin Qingling wanted to apologize to him for drinking so insincerely last night, but she felt his attitude to be somewhat aloof and her words got stuck in her mouth, ending up in a mere nod.
