Chapter 545

“That was a good nap~” Refreshed, Churu muttered after yawning . She then turned her head to the person in front of her, meeting the icy yet disturbed pair of eyes .

Glancing at the figure next to her, Churu met Ethan Lu’s aghast front as if he had seen a ghost . Both men stared at her floating figure as she took the next several seconds loading what was going on .

One .

Two .

Three .

Churu blinked her eyes numerous times as she darted her eyes from Morris Liu to Ethan Lu . After two more seconds, her eyes widened as she realized Morris Liu was staring at her!

He was staring at her! Like he could see her!

“What . . . ” Morris Liu murmured as his heart raced, sending alarms to the monitors of his condition .

The voice of Churu, her tiny, high-pitched minion voice sounded just like the whispers he heard the other night . Just the thought of it, the trauma he tried to deny resurfaced — like a mushroom growing out of nowhere .

“Hey, hey! Brother Mo!” Ethan Lu snapped back to reality when he heard the abnormal noise of Morris Liu’s heart .

“What? What? What? What’s happening chu?!” Churu equally panicked as her complex question sought for different answers .

Not wasting time, Ethan Lu pressed a button to notify medical staff for medical attention . Still, every second felt forever as he paced back and forth, then checked Morris Liu .

“Ouch!” Just then, Churu felt another pang of pain in her chest as she suddenly crashed to the floor . “Aah!!” Clasping her hands on her chest, Churu screamed as the pain this time was overwhelming .

“Hey, what happened? Oi!” Upon hearing Churu’s sudden cry, Ethan Lu turned his head to her direction, only to see no figure floating anymore .

Upon her second cry, Ethan Lu looked down and saw her curling herself on the floor . Hence, Ethan Lu squatted down as he attempted to touch her but afraid that he would hurt her further .

“Cha cha? What’s going on?”

“It hurts . . . ahh!” Through her gritted teeth, Churu grumbled as she rolled on the floor because of the striking pain on her chest .

Just then, the hospital door slid open followed by the sound of hurried footsteps of doctors and nurses . With that, Ethan Lu immediately picked up Churu as he stepped aside .

“What happened?” While the doctor was trying to stabilize Morris Liu’s condition, Chris Yu appeared on the door . Anxiousness plastered across his face as he panted, as if he rushed his way back there .

“I—I don’t know,” Stuttering, Ethan Lu shook his head as he was trying to wrap the reason around his head .

“What?” Shifting his sharp eyes to the distress Ethan Lu, Chris Yu assumed that he must have said something that triggered Morris Liu to be in this state . “I told you not to stress him out, didn’t I?” Grabbing him by the collar, Chris Yu’s eyes glinted with fury .

“Sir, please calm down . ” Sensing the tension on the entrance of the private ward, a female nurse intervene which made Chris Yu to let Ethan Lu go .

“Urgh!” Chris Yu growled in frustrations as he walked out of the room and let the professionals do their job .

On the other hand, Ethan Lu glanced down on his hands where Churu was writhing in pain . He couldn’t be bothered being vented out of Chris Yu’s frustration as his mind felt like exploding .

He couldn’t just tell Chris Yu that Morris Liu nearly had a heart attack after seeing a flying dumpling, right? Who would believe him? They might as well think that Ethan Lu finally lost it .

Also, how could Morris Liu see Churu, and then at the same time, they were both in pain? Was this a sheer coincidence?

Just what’s going on?!

Ethan Lu’s mind was in a complete haywire thinking about it . He couldn’t comprehend anything that was currently occurring, that was why for now, he has to clear his head while tending to Churu . After all, he doesn’t know how to ease her pain because aside from Lexi, no one could see her — except Morris Liu, of course .

“Are you sure I should leave you here?” Hours later, fortunately, Chris Yu still let him go inside the private ward .

Ethan Lu glanced at the reclining Churu next to Morris Liu . “Err, you might really kill him if he wakes up having you beside him . ” He hesitated because Churu suddenly requested to stay beside Morris Liu .

However, how could Ethan Lu be at ease if the reason Morris Liu had a cardiac arrest was because of the sight of Churu?

“It’s fine, he will not . ” Although still feeling weak, Churu meekly smiled to reassure him . “Also, I want to confirm about something . ” She added .

Ethan Lu contemplated as his expression grew more conflicted . “Oh, god . . . ” He heavily sighed as he run his fingers through his hair .

Ethan Lu never felt his mind this drained, as if they squeezed all his brain juices out . It was just too much for him, plus this decision if he should trust Churu or take her home .

However, thinking that Churu might do nothing silly through the night, Ethan Lu finally nodded his head in approval . “Just don’t scare him, alright? Or, wait for me to explain things to him tomorrow before you show yourself . “

Another sigh escaped from his mouth . “He’s still very vulnerable, Chacha . Please, whatever you need to confirm, if you can do it without him seeing you, then don’t show up in front of him for now . ”

“Don’t worry,” Sounding sincere, Churu nodded her head which caused Ethan Lu to sigh again .

Later that night, Morris Liu woke up in the middle of the night . He slowly opened his eyes, blinked his weary eyes to adjust to the dimness of the room .

However, as his vision cleared, a set of silver orbs was staring back at him . Her silky, long black hair flowed down to the side, while her unclad body perched on top of him .

“No way . . . ” Churu whispered as she really transformed to a human form .
