After paying the Chu"s a visit, Sara could finally breathe. She had been tensed the whole time because she didn"t want the Chu"s to accidentally spill out what had happened that night. Jianjun and Joreen had been surprised by the kind of hospital they were admitted at, before Sara told them it was Mr Li"s people who sent them here and handled all the bills. Jianjun couldn"t help being impressed by Muchen. He was one rich lad who he had a good impression of.

He prepared a nice meal with Sara and Joreen"s a.s.sistance and packed it for her to send to Muchen.

After Sara informed Muchen she was almost ready, he had nonchalantly asked her to wait as someone would come pick her up. She agreed and texted him her new address.

Sara was having mixed feelings about Mr Li. He was nice to an extent and got hurt because of her. But he always kept asking about food and food as if that was his only problem. How annoying!

Sara was completely exhausted, so was Jianjun"s and Joreen.

"But dad, don"t you think something is not right about the Liu"s? Why did they suddenly appear this morning to hand over the apartment back to us with a deed of owners.h.i.+p? It was as if they were being compelled to do so by their reactions" Sara said as she packed the food with Jianjun.

He raised his head to look at her without saying anything.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" She asked and tried to clean her face.

Jianjun smiled at her and said "Nothing"s in your face. My baby is very smart"

"You"ve thought about that also?" She was surprised. She was only speculating but her father also had the same thought as her, then. something was fishy.

"Ah Sara! If you could think of that, why can"t I? Have you forgotten whose traits you inherited?" He asked with a grin.

" Dad! you always look for an opening to brag" She replied.

"Of course, smart people should always brag." Joreen chipped in from the side

"That"s why you have a lot of enemies in school" Sara reminded her.

"And I can"t wait to have more enemies after bagging more awards next week" Joreen said excitedly.

It was almost time for their end of session and students were usually awarded. The last year, Joreen received Three awards— Most popular student, Best in entertainment club and best student in her cla.s.s. She was sure this year wouldn"t pa.s.s her by either.

"I wish I was anything like you when I was younger" Sara said melancholically.

"I wish I was like you when you were younger. It"s difficult trying to always keep up" Joreen replied.

It was true. She had to keep doing better to meet up to her t.i.tle. Especially the part where she has to keep studying to keep topping her cla.s.s. It was easier to be the best in the entertainment club since she was born for it. It was also easier to be the most popular student. Everyone knew her, if not for how she related with them, they knew her for her colour and afro hair.

Soon, the driver arrived. The entire ride to the hospital, Sara kept dozing off. After working out the previous day, she ran straight to the restaurant. Even after getting home, she couldn"t sleep that night, she cried all night and had to gather their things. This morning, they arrived at the Chu"s to meet an unwelcome sight. They had to clean up the entire place, unpack most of their things— since they wouldn"t be staying for long and also went grocery shopping, they also had to come prepare dinner.

She was so exhausted. Before she left the house, Joreen was already sleeping. Jianjun saw her off, she knew he would be sleeping somewhere by now also.

When they got to the Hospital, She shuffled inside. She had dozed off and was woken by the driver who informed her they"ve arrived.

Someone was already there, a bodyguard of Mr Li perhaps, to lead her to his private room.

"Why am I so nervous? All I have to do is deliver the meal and am out of there" She said to herself as the bodyguard knocked on the door.

Muchen"s bodyguards were stationed all over the hospital inconspicuously. Even if he wasn"t sick, he had to be cautious. There were a lot of people who wanted him dead. That was normal in the business world. Severally, he had been attacked in various forms that he was even used to it now.

Sara entered after the him. After he made sure there was nothing else, he left there.

Minde was there when Sara entered. Muchen had tried severally to send him away before she got there, but he had adamantly refused.

"Why was he here?" She wondered when she saw Minde. She only hoped he still remembered their deal. She greeted them both, even though she was actually glaring at Minde, And just stood there with the meal pack in her hand.

After seeing for himself that Sara didn"t ditch his brother this time, he decided to act a bit before leaving. Sara still scared him though. And he still didn"t like her for his brother. But what could he do?

"Big Bro. How do you feel now?"

Muchen almost laughed when he heard him. He was lying flat on his back and was properly covered with a duvet. Anyone who saw him now would guess he was actually sick.

"I feel better" He said, trying to make his voice sound hoa.r.s.e.

Minde didn"t know what else to say. He tried to recall the question they usually asked in dramas after an operation. When he finally remembered one, he smiled mischievously and asked.

"Have you farted yet?"

Muchen"s eyes bulged out. Did Minde really plan to humiliate him like this? Was that why he"s been here all along?
