DC- chapter 18

“Apart from the weakness he complained of, all other health check-ups I have done is normal, maybe he is suffering from stress and need a break”

The female doctor informed Yibo and smiled at him charmly and winked.

Yibo hissed inwardly, there women can’t they overlook a good looking man when they see one.

“So you don’t know the cause of this weakness” Yibo grimanced.

“We can run further tests if you want sir” she replied and bit her lower lip.

“Doctor..”

Zhan called feverishly and gestured at her to lean closer so he could whisper into her ear.

The doctor did as he wanted, Yibo rolled his eyes and waited impatiently, his hands tucked into his pocket as usual.

The doctor straighten and looked at Yibo.

“He is also emotionally feeling down so these mood swings and weakness can be as a result of that too”

The doctor said it more like a question then glanced from his face to Zhan’s then back to his face.

She wanted to be sure inorder to push more in trying to win him, the handsome son of Wangs is someone she could fight over to win.

Zhan and Yibo exchanged silent glances and looked away.

“Okay then, I will prescribe some drugs that may help him relieve the pain and cramps”

She stated and wrote the drug down.

“I hope you get well soon, Mr Zhan”

She smiled friendly and handed her the sheet of paper.

“Thanks” Zhan replied.

The doctor gave Yibo a wink and left.

As soon as the doctor left the room.

Yibo tried to apologise for doubting him but well he need lessons, serious lessons to do that.

“That doctor likes you”

Zhan mouthed slightly hating the way she flirted with Yibo.

“What are you now, a love expert!”

Yibo snapped at him.

“You should probably leave, I will take care of myself”

Zhan sneered with arched brows turning to the wall.

“I never said I am here to take care of you”.

“Then why the heck are you here… to finish from where you stopped yesterday?”

Zhan yelled pissed, he was being sarcastic of course but Yibo decided to take it literally.

“Yes”

Zhan’s brow raised high before he could asked further questions, Yibo walked close to him and started leaning over to kiss him.

“Don’t do it, you came to my house to abuse me?”

Zhan cried with his eyes closed tightly, quickly he put a hand in his mouth to avoid his lips touching him, his other hand grabbed on the bed spread while his face turned pink.

Yibo noticed and smirked.

“It isn’t abuse if you’re blushing this much shy fox, after all you reminded of it that means you like it”

“No I don’t ” Zhan said with his hand over his lips.

Yibo studied him for several seconds, then gently he pulled Zhan hand off his mouth, Zhan didn’t struggle as he expected.

“Zhan”

Someone gasped his name.

Yibo eyed the direction of the voice his lips still on Zhan’s and found an elderly woman, started as though she saw a ghost.

His brows arched tightly, he hated to be interrupted in this moment, he held back the urge to curso out and decided to respect the elderly.

Zhan jumped up from the bed and pushed Yibo.

“Mom, it’s not what you think_

He paused and suddenly let out a pained scream, a ripping, roaring pain began in the side and radiated out of his stomach.

He opened his now blurring eyes to stare up at his white faced confused mom.

At first Yibo thought Zhan was faking it but then something told him, Zhan was in real pain.

“Are you okay?”

The words came hard from his throat, Yibo did never thought he would care about another’s well-being.

“No It hurts, it hurts mother.” Zhan cried and gasped grabbing on his side.

Yibo rushed to him noticing his unsteady steps.

Zhan collapsed into his arms, as his face blurred into an angelic image then Zhan blacked out.

In his subconsciousness he heard his mother’s crying voice fading with the light.

××××

“It’s been two days since the doctor, please when is my son going to wake up?”

Zhan recognized his mother’s voice.

His head feels so heavy and ache badly. His hands clenched into fists at his sides as he tried remembering in effort to understand what was happening and why his mother was talking to a doctor about him.

Soon memories came flooding back, he remembered that he had experienced a sharp pain at the side of his tummy and then the last thing he could remember was falling into the hands of a very good looking man.

He shook his head, Falling in the hand of Wang Yibo, his CEO.

He desperately wanted to open his eyes and reassure his mother that he is fine but couldn’t.

His eyelids are just too heavy to raise and at the same time he felt his throat too dry for him to be able to talk.

Yet he knows he has to say something or else his mother’s doubts will keep on rising and causing her bp to rise too, which isn’t a good thing for her already complicated health.

“I assure you Ma’am he is fine, Mr Yibo had paid every bill for his treatment so all we can do for him now is let him rest, the body will recover at its own time”

The voice of the doctor soon became low and distant and also was his mother’s “Thank you” response which followed by the soft click of a door closing.

Indicating they just left the room. Zhan groaned and tried to get up the bed.

“You’re awake”

A low voice came from the side of his bed.

He turned his head slowly and found Yibo, Yibo looked like he hadn’t gotten a good sleep for days.

Zhan was startled because he didn’t expect anyone to be in the room after his mother and the doctor left him alone.

Yibo was still in the same suit with very obvious dark circles.

“What are you doing here?” Zhan grimaced.

Yibo said nothing, it’s obvious Zhan didn’t want him around, all he needed was to make sure Zhan was fine.

Yibo stood up without saying a word, a hand in his pocket and headed towards the door.

Just then Zhan’s mother came into the room.

“Are you going already, you’ve waited so long for him to wake up”.

Yibo curled an eyebrow trying to communicate nicely with her.

“He’s up and I should better go now, I have a lot of important things to do”

Zhan’s mother smiled and shook his head.

“You left them to stay by his side, come here my dear, he needs to thank you, you are the reason he is in good health now”

She pulled him by the hand gently but Yibo was never hold like that, even in his childhood.

He rudely pulled his hand off from hers and tucked it into his pocket then nodded for her to go on.

Zhan’s mother walked back to her son’s bedside.

“Zhan, Honey, you are awake”.

Zhan nodded slowly

“Your friend is about to leave but I told him to wait a bit so we can show our appreciation, he is a very nice and good looking young man who has been here with you for three days now, he didn’t eat just watching you”.

Zhan glared at the CEO, Yibo does look starving and tired too.

It was all my fault, even if I had a grudge against him and Yibo kissed me without my permission. I had taken it too far.

“Can you two talk while I get the nurse for you?”

Zhan looked down and nodded slowly.

His mother smiled and pecked him.

As soon as his mother left, Zhan forced his mouth open to apologize to his boss.

“I am sorry for faking being sick and decided not to go to work without your permission, also I asked you to leave my house which is very rude, and…

“Stop talking or I might kiss you again, I am really thirsty”

Zhan was too confused; he could only mutter.

“What?”

Yibo rolled his eyes and hissed.

He drew a deep breath and changed the topic.

“The doctor said your appendix was infected and burst three days ago, that was why you were in pain and rushed to the hospital”

“Oh my God! That’s very dangerous” he gasped.

Yibo nodded “But you are fine now and I should go”.

He started and turned to leave.

“Wait… I want you to stay, Sir Yibo”.

Yibo hissed and looked back at him.

“Why should I?”

Zhan stood up from his bed and quickly grab him by the hand clinging onto it.

“You’re the only face I saw after I blacked out, and I think you can help me heal”

Yibo was speechless for a minute, pink stains forming on his cheeks then he forced his hand off him.

“What’s the meaning of that?”

He asked roughly, dusting off his sleeve where Zhan held him on.

“You are not even romantic at all” Zhan pouted and eyed him with displeasure.

“You should be glad, a girl and boy named you her saving grace”.

Yibo laughed out, the second time Zhan did see him laugh so hard. It was satisfying to watch and yet so annoying.

“I should be glad? I can have any girl and boy of my choice, those bitches are cheap…

He paused realizing he was talking to a boy too, not just a boy.. the one he liked.

Zhan grimaced.

“How proud! Yet do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend? No! Your type of man is the least anyone can settle for, who cares if you are one of the world’s handsome men that’s why people love your step brother more”

Yibo hates to be compared to his brother, almost everyone that knows the famous Wang’s always compare them, even though he hated it he never really cared about that and now for the first time he evied his brother.

His eyebrow quirked, he drew a hissing breath and replied.

“Perhaps we should have told them to remove that viperous tongue of yours together with the appendix. If you are well enough to argue you should be well enough to take care of yourself”

Yibo stated and walked towards the door.

“But.. but… I am not totally healed yet, I need you to stay”

Yibo ignored him without looking back.

“Ahhhh!… my tummy… dizzy… Ahhhh!” Zhan screamed out.

Yibo tried to ignore and continued walking towards the door.

The appendix has been removed, so Zhan is probably pretending to be in pain, Yibo thought.

“Ahhh!” Zhan gave a sharp scream when he heard him fall down heavily from the end and collapsed.

Yibo heart never skipped that fast, he turned slowly and found him lying lifeless on the floor.

He almost tripped over as he rushed to catch him.

“Zhan!”

He yelled out loud, loud enough to tell any nearby nurse that there’s an emergency.

But just a few seconds after his yelling, Zhan got up by himself and climbed back on the bed.

“I am fine,” Zhan laughed out hysterically.

Yibo’s eyes widened in confusion and shock.

“What.. you… you made me worry for nothing?”

“And now you have reason to stay. You forced me to do that”

Zhan smiled back but his smile vanished when Yibo walked out and slammed the door.

“I guess I took it too far”.

Zhan mumbled to himself.

Outside Yibo jammed his left fist against the wall by his side.

“How dare he scare me like that, what would I have done if something happened to him, damn it Zhan why am I so affected by you anyway, what the hell did you do to me”.

He jammed his fist again.

A nurse and a patient on a wheelchair passing through the corridor at that time gave him some serious glances after he hit the hole that hard.

“Poor man must have received the DNA tests”.

He heard the old woman on the wheelchair tell the nurse.

××××

Zhan blamed himself for getting him angry.

“I shouldn’t have done that” he hissed and murmured to himself suddenly he heard the door open.

He hoped it would be him but looking up he saw his step brother approaching with a banquet of flowers and a teddy bear.

He had to blink to be sure, it was Haikuan then the next thing that came to his mind was the teddy bear.
