Words I Was Afraid To Hear 163 Long Yishin

"How is she?" Worry was written all over his face.

"Brother, who is she?" Long Yishin had a stern look on her face. She kept her hands inside her scrub suit pockets.

Long Yun cleared his throat. "Her name is Madeline Song. She's my..."

She frowned even more. "Sorry. I couldn't save the baby."

His eyes shook. 'Baby?! She's pregnant?' He gaped for about half a minute before finally saying, "Can...can I see her?"

Long Yishin nodded, keeping her stern expression.

Long Yun hurried into the treatment area. He rushed at bedside to clasp her pale, cold hand in his. He can feel the warmth being conducted from his palm to her much colder fingers.

His eyes watered. He felt guilty. He told her he loved her, but he was not responsible enough and got her pregnant. And now, they lost the baby, and he almost lost her.

"I...I'm sorry..." he whispered as he kissed her cold hand.

.

Long Yishin eyed the man in a black suit, who drove her brother and the patient to her hospital.

"Qian Bai, walk with me." Her heels began clicking away on the smooth tiles before her last words fell.

The man hurried to maintain 2 steps behind her as she strode away.

When they reached the terra cotta tiles of the garden walkway, she pivoted her heels to suddenly turn to face him.

"How did my brother get a woman pregnant?! Wasn't he with you?" She was skeptical.

Her big brother had been with both s.e.xes, but he had always protected himself, from disease and for other untoward incidents.

"We...we broke up." Qian Bai was a bit cautious of stating the facts. It was like he would not mention it if only he could.

"Oh..." Long Yishin was taken aback for about a couple of seconds, then she frowned again. "How long has he been with that woman? I never saw her in the house."

Qian Bai almost rolled his eyes. 'Because you only come home twice in a year.'

Basically, Long Yishin lives in the hospital she manages.

She is a prodigy in the medical field. She had skipped several grades and levels that she graduated in medical school before the age of 18. She had trained in surgery and internal medicine, subspecializing in intensive care.

Since she was a favorite among specialists, aside from her parents' money and her own savings, she had earned a lot of funding and eventually built a small hospital for intensive care.

However, only powerful individuals knew of the existence of this hospital. Even the entrance to the emergency room would require the ambulance or car transport to enter a garage door and ascend through a special lift.

The building looked like a wealthy company for telecommunications since several satellite dishes sat on the rooftop.

In order to be catered in this hospital, the powerful needed to pay for a membership card and five first degree relatives will be able to avail the services. A member could also sponsor a non-member who is not blood-related, for a certain fee.

These actually will ensure the sustenance of the high-end facilities of this small but state-of-the-art health inst.i.tution.

It is also the rule that only critical patients will be catered on a walk-in basis. Those who only wanted an outpatient consultation should always set an appointment a week prior to the visit. Violators such as those who come to the emergency room with non-critical cases were charged twice the value of the examination and their membership will be cancelled.

Because of this, even the rich and famous would not dare anger the management which is embodied by the young but brilliant Long Yishin.

Other doctors she employed were the best among their fields and her hospitalists were all intensivists.

Seeing that Qian Bai did not seem too cooperative, she walked away, back inside the hospital building.

Long Yishin sat on her swivel chair and rested her elbows on her marble-top desk.

It was not the time to interrogate her brother, but she would definitely do!

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door, afterwhich came in a handsome face in bronze skin.

"Ishin, what do you want for dinner?" He had pearly white teeth with prominent canines.

She briefly glanced at him. "Anything is fine."

"You always say that. I always decide on what we will eat. Can you at least decide for once?" He pouted.

"I can't do this right now. Either you decide or you get out!" She glared at him.

"Alright. Alright. Don't turn your bad vibes towards me. I'll go and buy Greek." He flashed a bright smile and left her alone.

She sighed. She is tired of that man who a.s.sumed that she was with him just because she was a little nice to him.

She began to picture a different man in her memories. He had a goofy smile, not very nice set of teeth, c.h.i.n.ky eyes, tall nose, soft lips. Yeah, she missed those lips.

He was the only one she wanted to save, but she could not.
