Muchen opened his eyes to an unfamiliar environment. He knew immediately that he was in a hospital. He tried getting up, but was too weak to,so he just lied back down on the bed.

"You're awake! I will get the doctor" Ms Long said as she stood up from the couch beside his bed.

"What time is it?" He asked with a dry voice.

"It's 7 in the morning" She said after checking the wall clock behind her.

"What about Sara?" He asked.

Ms Long's countenance changed when she heard his question. Why did he have to ask about her first before asking about his own health?

"Why aren't you answering?" He turned his head to look at her direction when he noticed she was still quiet.

"I sent her home last night" she replied dryly.

"Is something wrong?" Muchen asked when he noticed her unusual look.

"No sir. I will get the doctor now." she said and left the room.

Throughout the night, Muchen kept having repeated dreams about Sara. From the very first moment he saw her till now. Everything about her remained a mystery to him. He wanted to know more. Why she acted this way, why she didn't care about anything or how people thought about her. He had never even seen her look sad except the first night after she caught her friend and boyfriend together. Didn't she care?

He helped himself sit up on the bed and took his phone that was placed beside him. He looked at Sara's number which he had never dialled before and dialled it. He just wanted to hear her voice and know how she was doing. But the call was automatically redirected. Then her remembered that her phone was ruined the previous night.

Ms Long entered the room with a middle aged doctor and two other younger doctors.

Muchen recognized the middle aged doctor as Ms Long's father and greeted him accordingly.

After exchanging pleasantries, they went straight to business.

Sundays was one of Sara's free days. She remained in her room, browsing through her laptop. Joreen had gone to the neighbour's place to hang out with their daughter. It was just Sara and Jianjun at home.

While going through her laptop, she came across a picture she had saved earlier. It was a selfie of herself and Jinyong with Weiyoung on the background.

Sara remembered inviting Weiyoung to join them that day but she had flatly rejected. Sara looked at the saved date, it was taken about 6 months ago. Which meant that Weiyoung was already together with Jinyong then. What she couldn't understand though was why they had to do it secretly when he could have easily broken up with her and went after Weiyoung. What was the point of the entire hide and seek game? She concluded that it must have been Weiyoung's idea. Which girl in her normal senses would agree to date a guy for that long when he had a girlfriend? But Weiyoung did not mind. Sooner or later, she was going to uncover what that scheming bitch has been up to.

She smirked at the photo "Bunch of idiots" She said as she marked all the pictures which had Jinyong or Weiyoung's face on it and deleted it all.

She then saw a picture of Song Changyu which she had saved earlier while surfing the net about her. She looked at it for a while and opened her browser. She was curious about this woman. After reading for a while, she noted something which she had always ignored.

Song Changyu was engaged to Mo Dexi's elder brother who lost his life in a car crash. She tried to link it up with her father and his attitude towards Mo Jinyong. She knew clearly that her father did not like Jinyong but he had always rejected talking about the issue.

Is this connected somehow? She wondered. Why wouldn't her father just tell her everything she was curious about? She knew the right person to ask next. It was her aunt, Cixi Wang. But it was unfortunate that she had been unavailable. Notwithstanding, she was going to be patient and ask her aunt.

Sara heard a light knock on her door and shut her laptop immediately. "Come in" She said as she stood up.

Jianjun entered and asked her to sit while he sat on the chair beside her. "You have been avoiding me right?" He asked cause he noticed she had been in her room all day.

"No, why would you think that?" She asked.

"I will go straight to the point. Did any thing happened between you and Mr Li?" He asked.

"Dad!.." Sara stood up abruptly. She knew that her overreaction had given her away and sat back down. "Dad, it's not what you think okay?"

"So what do i think?" He asked.

"I don't know, maybe you are thinking that....." She let her words trail of and stood up again.

"Fine! We hugged!" She said.

Jianjun's eyes widened then he stood up and stuttered. "You...you hugged...Mr...Mr Li?"

Sara got scared when she saw her Father's reaction. She didn't have to tell him but she could not hide anything from him. He had been her confidante and adviser since the day she was born. "Actually, he hugged me." She corrected.

"And you let him?" He asked in bewilderment. He was already used to Sara hitting and beating up any guy who made advances at her that he had been worried whether she was going to get married or not. But the day she told him about Jinyong, although he didn't like the idea, he had to let her be since he was her first.
