CHAPTER 244
"Can we ask who saved her?"
Neither Shin nor Shane had not spoken throughout the conversation between the doctor and Jiang Meilin. But at the mention of the saviour, their interest was piqued.
"Just know that he is someone who cares for Ms Bai a lot," Ye Chaoxiang said with a smile.
Although Shin and Shane were not satisfied with the answer, they could not complain as soon as they heard Jiang Meilin's words.
"May the Lord bless him. I will see for myself then. You two hurry along with the doctor," Jiang Meilin said before she rushed towards the nearest elevator.
Turning away from the direction Jiang Meilin ran off in, he faced Shin and Shane.
"Gentlemen, please follow me," Ye Chaoxiang said before he walked forward.

In Bai Renxiang's hospital room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Fengjin sat on the chair closed to the right side of the bed in which Bai Renxiang lay. He held her slightly cold hand in his and planted soft kisses on it.
His mind kept on replaying the scene he saw when he barged into the room Bai Renxiang was held in.
Her plea and cries filled his ears. Li Fengjin could feel his blood bool every time the picture of Tim on her, his woman. The kiss marks on her body made him madder.
But thank God they were no longer visible. Li Fengjin shook his head to get rid of those unwanted scenes.
He filled his head with Bai Renxiang's face instead. Li Fengjin saw this as an opportunity to take in her beauty as if imprinting it in his head.
Just as his attention was totally focused on her, the door was quietly pushed open. Jiang Meilin was greeted with the broad back of a man in her daughter's hospital room.
From his back features and the air around him, Jiang Meilin could tell that he was not an ordinary man. She could also tell that he was handsome.
She did not utter a word as she took her time to observe the man even though she was itching to hug her daughter.
Jiang Meilin saw how he tenderly brushed the strands of Bai Renxiang's hair off her face. She witnessed how gentle his thumb moved on her daughter's cheek as he muttered apologies to her.
'He cares a whole lot about my daughter just as the doctor said,' she thought. Then she made her presence known to him.
"Not everyone who saves someone apologises to them," she said.
Li Fengjin was shocked at first when he heard a voice in the room.
"You care about her. Very much I presume. I am glad that my daughter has someone other than her family and best friend who cares about her," Jiang Meilin said while still standing by the door.
When Li Fengjin heard her words, he regained his composure as he gently placed Bai Renxiang's hand on the bed.
He stood up from the chair and turned to face the voice. Jiang Meilin gasped in shock when she saw the big patch of blood on his shirt.
"You must be Bai Renxiang's mother. It is nice to meet you," Li Fengjin said politely.
"Are you hurt?" Jiang Meilin ignored his words and asked.
Following her line of sight, Li Fengjin cursed inwardly. He had not changed his clothes since Yang Chen had not arrived at the hospital yet.
"Ahem! No, I am not hurt. It's Uhm... The blood is not from me. It is from her," Li Fengjin said.
"What?! That much blood?" Jiang Meilin asked as she rushed to Bai Renxiang's side.
She checked her daughter's hands and face for any injury but she saw none. She threw a confused glance at Li Fengjin who was watching her.
"It is under her hair on the right part of her forehead," Li Fengjin said.
"Gasp. Oh, my child. What did they do to you?" Jiang Meilin said in a broken voice.
She gently slid a finger on the stitched-up wound. Her heart broke once more when she saw this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What have we done to deserve such cruelty in this world? Have we not suffered enough?" Jiang Meilin whispered.
"I am sorry for not being able to save her on time," Li Fengjin said as he lowered his head.
"You... You do not have to be sorry. I am grateful for the fact that you even went as far as saving her. So, you do not have to be sorry," she said. "Thank you."
The door pushed open again and in came old man Jiang. His eyes scanned the room and he saw Li Fengjin, Jiang Meilin and Bai Renxiang.
At first, he was shocked to see the blood on his shirt. Old man Jiang quickly masked his expression and gave a curt nod to Li Fengjin as he hurriedly went to Bai Renxiang.
"Dad," Jiang Meilin called. Old man Jiang could see that she was on the verge of tearing up. He quickly moved closer to her and hugged her.
Li Fengjin quietly left the room to give them their family time. He went straight to Ye Chaoxiang's cabin.
"How did her family take it?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.
"Bad... I guess. She and the old man were shocked when they saw my shirt," Li Fengjin said.
"Yang Chen just arrived at the hospital. You should get rid of that bloodied shirt of yours," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"I know," Li Fengjin said understanding his words. "I suppose you have a bathroom in your cabin. I could really use a cold shower now before I blow up in my rage," he added.
"Calm down. You can deal with those bastards later. For now, stay with your woman," Ye Chaoxiang advised.
Just then a knock came on the door.
"Ye Chaoxiang, why did you not leave the door open when you know I am coming?" Yang Chen's angry voice was heard.
"The bathroom is in there. Hurry up," Ye Chaoxiang said as he pointed toward a door in the room.
