Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 283

"It is about time the package arrived," She remarked as she has been waiting for a package, she dabbed her hair with a hand towel but the water still dripped onto her bathrobe, she decided to get the package before getting into bed again.
She looked through the monitor but the person has his face covered with a paper bag so she just decided to open the door first.
She opened the door only to see someone with a familiar figure standing in front of her but when the person removed the bag from his face, her jaw dropped.
His lashes fluttered seeing the sexy side of her, her hair still dripped water making her slender neck wet, her fit black robe accentuated her curves and the V neck exposed her cleave, he knew he needed to take his eyes off her but he just couldn't and she also found herself staring at him in shock.
"When did you get discharged?" She questioned to break the silence.
"Today but I didn't think you..." his eyes were still fixed on her curvy body which she traced, she realised she is actually wearing a short and loosely tied robe and even her hair is still dripping.
She gasped then hurriedly tried to shut the door but he placed his foot in between, not knowing what else to do, she turned around to run from this embarrassment, he extended his hand to hold her wrist but his hands ended up pulling the rope holding her robe.
Her eyes went round as the rope went loose causing her robe to open so she turned around but her robe slipped off her body.
He quickly removed his coat and covered her body, before they both fell to the floor he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her on top of him.
She opened her eyes only to find herself lying on him with her half-naked body in only her underwear covered with his coat, the level of embarrassment she felt reached the peak but when she noticed his scrunched face she realise the impact to the ground must have hurt him.
"Are you okay?" She questioned with her face filled with concern, he brushed her hair off his face then he smiled faintly but his eyes met her naked slender shoulder.

"You should c-cover u-up," he voice held a hint of warning as though he might do something wrong.
She traced his gaze to her shoulder but she doesn't know how to stand up without him seeing what his underneath his coat.
"I will close my eyes" he closed his eyes and removed his hand from her waist, even though she shouldn't trust a man to not look somehow she believed him.
She stood up with his coat on her then she wore her robe and tied it firmly around her waist.
The temptation to open his eyes regardless of his promise overwhelmed him but he clenched his fist to control his desire.
"Done," she notified
He opened his eyes and stood up from the floor then he cleared his throat and took back his coat from her.
"Why are you here anyway and how do you know where I live?" She didn't know if she should be angry or...but she just needed to brush away the embarrassment of what just happened.
"I didn't know you live here I am just here to greet my neighbour," he lied.
"What do you mean, I don't have a neighb---What! You are my new neighbour, why would you live here when you have your mansion," she exclaimed, remembering when she saw those workers prepping apartment opposite hers.
"Well, you said before that my mansion is too big and lonely so I decided to make a change,"
"You know what....just leave, for now," she pulled his hand and pushed him out the door then she leaned her back against the door and heaved her sigh of relief.
"Why did he have to come when I..." she looked down at her body then cupped her face in embarrassment.
The next day, she hurriedly left for work so she doesn't have to encounter him on the way and thankfully she succeeded.
Instead of the dreams the only thing that made her unable too have a peaceful sleep is the thought of him grinning at her in a mocking manner and also her imaginations of him pinning her against the wall and pulling the rope keeping her robe fitted at her waist, she grabs his hand to stop but then he smirks and leans in to whisper in her ear.

"Why, I have seen everything anyway,"
Each time she jerks up and screams to chase it away from her head.
With her cup of coffee in her hands, she walked towards her office until she heard someone shouting her name in the empty hallway.
"Surgeon Yu Yan!" The nurse called aloud as she ran towards her.
She sighed then stopped and walked towards the nurse with a quizzical look on her face.
{Why do I keep getting hijacked on way to my office every---}
"Why are you in such a hurry?" she smiled even though she is frowning in her mind, she has always been hijacked for emergency patients these days.
"There is a patient....an emergency patient in the ER," she responded then she stood at akimbo to catch her breath.
With the nurse behind her, she hurried to her office then dropped her bag and coffee, she was about to leave the office when she turned back to glance at Han Chen's desk, she wondered if he will still be coming to work.
Then she followed the nurse down to the ER department.
She arrived at the ER only to find a male patient vomiting blood with his body at unrest, she quickly rushed towards them and pinned his body down to the bed then she signalled the nurses around to hold him down.
She removed her pen torch from her pocket then opened his mouth wide and pointed it into his throat, she noticed there seems to be blood building up in his throat but she can't see it clearly and he keeps spurting out blood on her face.
She placed the pen torch back in her pocket then she took scissors from one of the nurses to cut open his shirt, she pressed his abdomen to find there is abdominal swelling.
"Where is the patient's guardian?" she questioned with a hint of urgency in her voice.
"Here," a haggard-looking woman rushed up to her, she had been there all long.
"Does the patient have a previous medical condition I should know about?" she questioned, the patient's wife turned pale which she noticed, she guessed it must be something serious they don't want to address.
"H-He was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis three months ago b-but he didn't want to go to the hospital because of money," she disclosed with tears strolling down her face, rubbing her hands against each other nervously, Yu Yan sighed then turned to one of the nurses.
"I need a MELD, CT scan and ultrasound test of the patient, we need to know just how bad it is by now," she ordered, then the nurses rushed out of the ER to follow her order.
"Get his blood sample for immediate blood transfusion," she instructed another nurse who quickly followed her orders while the others held the patient down.
She sighed and rubbed her forehead as she stood at Akimbo with her head lowered.
She has always hated it when she is giving patients who need transplant especially when it is obvious that they do not possess connections, money or any power because she knows they won't be able to get the organ they need on time and then she will have to hand them over to the hepatology department hoping they will treat the patient's fairly and not just bypass them for a VIP patient like they always do.
But even without the selectivity, getting an organ donor is always hard and it takes a long time because there is always a long queue.
The patient guardian was already getting anxious seeing the look on her face, she quickly went up to Yu Yan and held her hands, making her startled.
"Maam..."
"Miss, please you have to save my husband, we are not well off with him but if he is gone, I really won't be able to survive with five children, please...." she lowered her head as she sobbed then raised her gaze with a desperate look in her eyes.
"Save him....please,"
She parted her mouth to speak but she didn't know what to say, should she console her and tell her it is alright or just tell her the facts that if her husband's condition is already worse to the point where he needs a liver transplant, not just treatment to keep him alive then things will get complicated.
Just then, the second nurse arrived followed by the first, the second went on to start the blood transfusion while the other gave the results to Yu Yan.

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.
