Touching his chest, Ko Chen walks out of the hospital with sweats on his forehead. He looks no better than Yu Fei who has just recovered from severe illness.

Seeing Ko Chen like this, the driver immediately runs to help him up.

With a supporting point, physically and mentally he collapses with waves of attacking pain.

The driver takes him to the back seat of the car and lets him lie down. And the driver calls Uncle Zhang to tell him that Mr. Ko is sick again.

At the time, Uncle Zhang is sending Yu Yu and her mother to the canteen, after hearing it, he leaves in a hurry with a pale face.

As for Uncle Zhang’s behavior, Yu Yu does not care, for during the period of living with Ko Family, she has understood that Uncle Zhang is the senior member who has witnessed Ko Chen’s growth and who can be recognized as the second in command, and thus he has many things to do.

But Wong Feng doesn’t think so. She regards Uncle Zhang as a servant in Ko Family, while Yu Yu and she is Ko Chen’s wife-to-be and mother-in-law-to-be who are masters in Ko Family. It’s ridiculous that Uncle Zhang has left them here.

“Yu, listen to me, don’t be too kind to the servants, for the kinder you are, the more arrogant they are.”

Yu Yu gives her mother a strange look for she doesn’t make sense why her mother has this thought. But she nods and accepts carelessly.

Now she has no mood to explain to Wong Feng, for all her focus is placed on Ko Chen who will be coming later. For today’s meal, Yu Yu has carefully dressed up for several hours and finally chose a close-fitting long dress which sets off her body well.

Yu Yu believes firmly that it’s his bad mood that causes his dislike for her passion, and as long as she chooses a good time, she will definitely be able to climb to Ko Chen’s bed and owns this man completely.

And today’s meal is a good time.

Wong Feng babbles a lot, but Yu Yu doesn’t listen to one word, and she has to nod perfunctorily from time to time. In fact, she has concentrated all her attention on the door which Ko Chen will enter. She will show the best of her the moment when Ko Chen comes.

In the Ko House.

Duan Tsingfong is checking Ko Chen’s condition in the master bedroom when Uncle Zhang hurries to Ko House.

Finding Ko Chen is in such a terrible situation, Duan Tsingfong is grievous yet angry, “I have told you so many times, that you have to keep calm, that any emotional fluctuation will exacerbate your illness. You’ve done well, ignoring my words completely. If you go on like this, you will ruin your body before I find a cure.”

Pretty harsh are his words, in that he knows what Ko Chen thinks. What furies him is that Ko Chen still has opportunities, but he doesn’t cherish his body which would collapse at any time and any place.

Ko Chen lies on the bed silently, which looks a little pitiable.

At length, Duan Tsingfong is softhearted and changes his tone, “I’m searching for the cure abroad. As long as we have chance, we cannot give up.”

Ko Chen can’t remember how many times has Duan said the same thing. However, every time he said there was opportunity, every time it turned out to be disappointment. So now he doesn’t dare to hope anything and doesn’t want to experience the feeling of falling from the cliff to the bottom of the valley again.

Duan Tsingfong puts away the medical equipment, while Ko Chen doesn’t say any word. Duan knows what Ko is thinking about. Considering for a time, he says nothing at length, and shakes his head and leaves.

Yu Yu and Wong Feng have waited for Ko Chen for a long time. Yu Yu looks at the door from time to time. Wang Feng becomes a little impatient and murmurs, “Mr. Ko can really put on airs. How can he make us wait for him for such a long time? He’s definitely making fool of us!”

“Mom!” Yu Yu can’t stand her words and roars at her. She glances around, and says, “Ko House is also Ko Family’s place. Watch your mouth!”

In a panic Wong Feng covers her mouth, not daring to curse any more.

Ko Chen has been asleep when Duan Tsingfong goes out from the master room. For he has over-consumed his energy more than before.

Uncle Zhang comes to him and asks for Ko Chen’s situation the moment he walks out.

Duan shakes his head and doesn’t say a word. He can only temporarily control his illness for medicine can’t be applied, but it’s a long-time solution.

“I’ve been searching for treating methods. Although no sure method has been found yet, there are possibilities. But I’m worried that his body will collapse before I find the solution according to the situation now.”

Uncle Zhang is no less concerned than he. But the right of decision is in Ko Chen’s hand. If he has no desire for a cure, all action is useless.

“By the way,” walking a few steps, he turns back as if something occurs to him, and asks, “I haven’t seen Yu Fei for several times. Is Ko Chen determined to break up with her?”

Thinking of Yu Fei, Uncle Zhang can’t help sighing. He shakes his head with a forcing smile, and points at the guest room, “Mr. Ko has taken them here, saying he will clear all the obstacles around Mrs. Ko.”

Duan Tsingfong clicks his tongue and smiles, “really? I’d like to see what kind of mother can have such a daughter.”

“They are not at home but waiting for Mr. Ko in the dining room.”

Hearing it, a trick suddenly emerges in Duan’s mind. He stops Uncle Zhang from calling to cancel the dinner and decides to attend on behalf of Ko Chen.

Knowing Duan’s characteristics well, Uncle Zhang smiles and lets him go.

In the dining room.

After waiting for another one hour, Wong Feng’s patience has run out gradually. She doesn’t want to be treated like a fool. Picking up her bag, she stands up.

Actually Yu Yu is perturbed, too. She is frightened by Wong Feng and clasps her mother’s hands subconsciously and asks, “Mom, what’re you doing?”

Wong Feng’s words turn harsh due to her bad mood, “we are not clowns. He is rich, but I’m elder at least. How can he put such an air?”

Yu Yu persuades Wong Feng that it’s simple enough to think about it, but it’s a rare opportunity for Ko Chen to agree to have dinner together, if Ko Chen comes and just sees Yu Yu herself, it’ll be an big embarrassment.

A man’s voice suddenly sounds from the door when they can’t reach an agreement.

“I’m sorry that I came late.”
