Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Rain continue to trickle down onto Imperial as people went on with their routine. Inside Imperial Military Hospital, Liu Shan laid on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.

The day had already turned to evening as the beeping of the monitor continues into the quiet room with the sound of continuous clicking of keyboard. The man on the bed slowly opens his eyes.

Liu Shan felt as if he was in a very long dream. Trying to turn his head, he felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck and sounds a groan.

However, from the corner of his eyes he can see two figures moving about in the room.

He close his eyes and lightly squeeze them so that he could adjust his sight. Parting his lip, his dried hoarse voice sounds a whisper.

”Boss…”

Hearing his voice, the two figures moving around froze in place.

After leaving Black Dragon, the five men came straight to here. While Lu Tian went his wife, the assistant and subordinate came to check on their brother.

Lin Hui and Xu Long had brought their computer equipment and set it up inside Liu Shan’s room so they can look for Chu Li Xiang and keep a close eye on Liu Shan.

However, unable to think clearly, the two men slowly turn to look at the person who spoke.

Liu Shan’s eyes were wide open as he was staring right back at the two of them.

”Oh my God…”

Tears welled up in Xu Long’s eyes as he drops his laptop and rushed over to the man. At the same time, Lin Hui held back the urge to cry and rushes over too.

Xu Long: ”Liu Shan! You’re awake!!”

Lin Hui: ”You bastard! I thought you wouldn’t wake up anymore!!”

Seeing the two men running to him, panic and horror flash on Liu Shan’s face. Just as they reach one foot away from him, he raise his voice at them.

”Stop!!!”

”…”

Both Lin Hui and Xu Long froze at the word and did not dare to move.

Seeing them stop, Liu Shan sighs in relief. He knows that if he did not stop them, they would jump on him and inflict more pain onto him. However, because he raised his voice, the side of his neck felt like it was being rip apart.

”Fuck…”

He curse a whisper at the pain and squeeze his eyes shut. Waiting for the pain to ease, he glares at the two man.

”I would be dead if you two continued over here.”

Both men glace at one another then thinking of something, they couldn’t help but laugh.

”Liu Shan, it’s good to see you up and normal.”

Xu Long spoke as he slowly approach the man. He sits down at the end of the bed and sighs inside.

”It’s good to see you up.”

Agreeing with the man, Lin Hui nods his head and pulls a chair from the side to sit.

”You made us worry too.”

Hearing the word ’too’, Liu Shan’s eyes shook, and he looks at the two men.

”What about Yue Ling? How is boss?”

He remembers they were making a turn at a green light, then seeing the front of a garbage truck coming at them. Before he could turn the car in time it had crashed into them.

The last thing he remember before slipping into consciousness was Yue Ling’s voice. Even though she was in pain from the crash, she was still calling his name to keep him awake. However, when he wanted to answer her, everything turned dark.

Being asked the question, Xu Long and Lin Hui didn’t know how to answer him. If Liu Shan hears what happened, he will no doubt blame himself.

However, knowing that they can’t keep it a secret from Liu Shan, Lin Hui heaves a sign and force a smile.

”Boss is here too, but…”

”But what?”

Liu Shan quickly asks when he heard that Yue Ling was also admitted to the hospital. His heart tinge in pain, but he still needed to know.

Looking at the man, Xu Long knows that it was hard for Lin Hui to explain. He sighs inside and decides to tell Liu Shan.

”She is still unconscious.”

Hearing that Yue Ling has not woken up, fear and worry rouse inside Liu Shan. It was his fault that she is like this. If he had turned the car in time, they would have dodged this calamity.

Just as he thought this, his pupils shook and he asks, ”W… What about the little one?”

Lin Hui and Xu Long did not know how to answer the man. Both their heads lower and slowly shook at the same time.

Getting the answer he did not want to hear, Liu Shan’s lower lip began to tremble and his eyes turned moist.

He pulls the IV needle out from his hand and force himself to get out of the bed, but before his feet could the floor, Lin Hui and Xu Long stopped him.

”Liu Shan! You haven’t recovered yet!”

Lin Hui yells at the man as he force the man to lay back down on the bed. He knows how Liu Shan feels but he cannot be reckless right now.

”Lu Tian is with her. If you want to see her, quickly recover.”

Like waves of endless emotions erupted inside Liu Shan, he lays on the bed and allow his tears to fall.

He doesn’t care about how Lin Hui and Xu Long will think of him and wails in gasping sobs.

”Why… Why…”

Streams of tears flowed faster than his beating heart as he clench his fists tightly.

”Why couldn’t it be me… Why take the little one?”

Lin Hui and Xu Long stares at the grown man crying his heart out. Neither made fun of him as tears slowly made its way into their eyes.

And like Liu Shan, both men couldn’t help but sob with him.

They had tried to hard to remain strong, but a person can only stay so strong for a certain limit and right now, they have reached their limit.

As the three men weep into grief and sorrow for the loss of the little one, Qi Li stood outside the door.

He held one hand in midair as he was about to knock on the door and enter, but the sound of the three men crying stopped him.

Lowering his hand, both his hands curl into tight fists as he turns from the door and walks away.

”Where are you going?”

Yiqing’s voice sounds when he was about to walk to Liu Shan’s room to check on the man. However, seeing Qi Li not enter, he could help but ask.

Walking pass the man, Qi Li does not stop to chat, but his voice sounds.

”Find that bastard.”

Hearing this, Yiqing arch a brow. He looks at the door to Liu Shan’s room then deciding on something, he heaves a sigh.

Turning around, he follows after Qi Li.

It is best to get a heard start in finding Chu Li Xiang.
