What exactly are you afraid of?

Nina"s question yesterday keeps ringing in her ears and haunting her mind .

Yeri fixedly stared at the ceiling of her hospital room without blinking . Why is being human so complicated? can"t the heart and mind just cease to exist without dying?

What exactly is she afraid of?

Falling in love? Hurt? Guilt? Regret?

Nah, it"s not about her towering pride and ego . The answer is all of the above, she have a very scheming and vengeful heart, once she gave her heart and someday Shin will change his mind, there"s no telling what she"ll do to him .

Most importantly, will Shin accept that inhuman side of her?

Yeri grabbed her phone from the bedside table, there"s no new messages or missed call from Shin . What is he doing these days?

Oddly, her parents didn"t also visit today or at least her mom, she started reading her unread messages since she fell into coma, most of them are from her family, friends and colleagues from School, she clicked another unknown number and was surprised of the content .

"Calin w.a.n.g was moved to South Castle Psychiatric Hospital . Your Welcome . "

Yeri frowned, who sent it? was it Tristan? she don"t recall telling anyone about her plans with Calin, not even to Shin .

A nurse came knocking on her door . "Ms . Zhi, it"s time for your treatment, today will be a leg therapy . Dr . Neri advice that we should re-check your vitals first before the procedure so . . . blah, blah . . . "

Yeri barely listened and just let the nurse helped her out of the bed .

. . .

At Zahn"s office, the temperature is as freezing as that of a snowy mountain .

The woman standing at the door felt numb upon meeting Zahn"s gaze, like icicle daggers slashing through her skin and piercing her heart .

"What are you doing here?" Zahn coldly asked .

She was tongue-tied, he"s back for more than a week now but didn"t even went to their villa, she had to hear the news from the servants .

A year of no communication yet his treatment towards her hasn"t change, a bitter cold of indifference .

"I . . . I heard your back, the news stated it will rain today so i brought you a coat . " She softly said with misty eyes .

Zahn slowly walked towards her that she dared not meet his gaze, her heart pounded in panic . "don"t act like you really care, leave . " his voice felt like winter breathing on her skin .

The woman"s eyes were full of sadness, she bit her lips to hold back her tears .

"Dr . Neri?" a soft, sweet voice dispelled the winter atmosphere .

"you"re here for your treatment?" Zahn asked, walking past the woman .

"no, they postponed it for tomorrow since my vitals is still slightly off . " Yeri answered, her gaze darted to the woman awkwardly standing at the door .

Could she be the intriguing Mrs . Neri?

Nina was gossiping about Zahn"s marriage yesterday when she found out he is her attending physician .

"alright, do you need anything?" Zahn asked with a hint of concern .

"no, i was just pa.s.sing by . " Yeri answered, glancing again at the woman again .

Is it true that Zahn don"t love his wife? how could that be? Yeri thought, she can clearly see a kind and gentle aura imanating from her, appearance wise, she"s also elegant and gorgeous except she"s too skinny .

"you should head back to your room, it"s getting colder outside . " Zahn said .

The woman also looked at Yeri curiously, she can clearly feel the sudden change of Zahn"s att.i.tude towards her . Is it because she"s his patient? or Zahn like her?

"i"ll go back if i feel like it . " Yeri pursed her lips, Zahn"s tone of voice didn"t escaped her insight . Why is he so talkative today? by any chance, is he using her as his cannon fodder?

"alright, I still have an operation to do, call a nurse if you need a.s.sistance . " Zahn told her, he then close the door to his office and left without looking at the woman .

Yeri: " . . . . "

The woman: " . . . . "

The two of them looked awkward along the hallway . Soon after, the woman timidly smiled at her before turning back to leave .

"wait! can you wheel me back to my room? you just have to turn at the right corner at the end of this hallway . " Yeri asked .

The woman seemed stunned but she still agreed .

"what"s your name?" Yeri asked in a friendly tone .

"Ji-hye . "

"Ji-hye . . . Neri?" Yeri guessed .

"eh? how did you-" Ji-hye suddenly paused, thinking Zahn would probably get mad .

"I knew it, you"re Mrs . Neri . " Yeri confidently remarked . "next time, don"t just agree to help other people especially if you think they"re your rival . "

" . . . . " Ji-hye was stunned again, she was indeed a bit jealous earlier, afterall the woman she"s helping is so beautiful . "I really wanted to help you, it has nothing to do with him . "

"I know but you"re too naive, not good . "

" . . . . " is she actually being nice or mean?

"here is fine, thanks!" Yeri said when they"re just an arm distance from the door, she then turned towards her . "ah, I haven"t introduce myself yet, I"m Yeri, Shin Keir"s girlfriend . "

Yeri brilliantly smiled, peh! that d.a.m.n Zahn Neri, thinking of using her? no way!

Ji-Hye"s eyes widened, so she misunderstood? what more, she"s Shin Keir"s girlfriend? that Devil has a girlfriend?!

"Yeri, I . . . " Ji-hye wanted to say something when her stupefied expression swiftly turned into terror, looking at the person standing behind Yeri .

"hmm? what is it?" Yeri also followed Ji-hye"s gaze when her eyes met Shin staring down at her with puppy eyes .
