Xue Jinxu collected her attention on to the letters and documents that Butler Lee had hand-carried from Beijing.  She went through each first and sorted it out into priorities.  The letters came in many sizes – most of which were usual letter-sized and the other larger parcels were of the size of papers packed in envelopes and boxes.

The madame completed the menial chore rather trivially.  She continued to do so just to clear up her mind from the more serious and critical tasks that were lined up on her schedule and to-do list.  The task, although unsophisticated, had done its purpose, as the lady found herself in a more relaxing disposition.

It continued to be so up until she found in one of the letters an unfamiliar one which somehow captured her attention.  It was a black letter envelope lined with gold.  She opened it immediately yet cautiously, and read the content with a burning interest in her eyes.  The letter was addressed to her.

Dear Madame Chen,

It is with great sadness that this letter is written under grim circumstances. We would like to extend our sympathy to you, the spouse of the prodigious trader Chen Linyun.

It is a difficult time, indeed, to be left alone under pressure of balancing the management of all your assets and at the same time, the fulfillment of your role in his life as his spouse. 

We have found it in our hearts the interest to offer help on your aide to run the business while your husband is still recuperating.  Trust that our intentions are pure since our party also cares deeply about Mister Chen Linyun. 

As you still might not know, our party hosts a close relative of your husband.  We have deduced by transitivity the lineage that connects our dear Chairman and your husband as one blood and flesh, through Miss Kang Sola.  We've learned that Miss Kang is, in fact, the biological younger sister of Mister Chen Linyun, but Miss Kang is also the daughter of our Chairman.  By all means, that would denote that Mister Chen Linyun is also related to our Chairman. 

If, in that aspect, as Mister Chen Linyun's spouse, you find it difficult to come in terms with the certain linkages aforementioned, perhaps it would be much easier to grasp our qualifications to help you and your conglomerate through business sensitivities.  As of this writing, our party has already acquired twenty percent loose shares of Chen Holding.  It is our natural tendency to desire to ensure that our investment is at sturdy footing in the market.

We hope to hear an affirmation from your end.

As she reached the end of the letter, Xue Jinxu gaped continually from its unexpected content.  'What the hell?!'

For several minutes she couldn't snap out of her initial shock.  As her brain started to process the letter, somehow, she consciously killed the most apparent gist of the letter.  'No.  It cannot be…'

She blinked several times as she tried to find answers on the floor and the hospital's walls.  Not being able to find any, she surrendered herself beside her unconscious lovely hubby, still deep asleep.


"Honey, will you wake up soon?  I am so lost.  I don't know if I can handle it alone any further."

"Love…"

She reached out her hand towards his face.  It had gone skinnier for an inch or so.

"What will you do in this situation?  Will you allow those strangers to enter your company?  Remember when I wanted to help you out when you were getting burnt out already?  You outrightly rejected me."

"Oh, how bad you had hurt my feelings at the time…   Remember how hard we fought?" She chuckled at the fond memory.

"But these people are different.   They are claiming to be your family when you already have one."

The lovely wife caressed the cheeks of the sleeping prince with the back of her index finger, then grabbed both of his cheeks.  She curled more into a ball.  "Should I ask Mother about it?  Maybe she knows the answers… Mhmm?"

She ran her thumb over his chapped lower lip.

"Even if you wake up, the problem is still there, right?  I have to do something before you wake up."

"As long as you wake up soon."

"How long will you keep me waiting?"

"What's keeping you?"

She locked her lips onto his.  "You miss it, don't you?  Mhmm?"

"So much has happened… You couldn't imagine how much has changed, dear."

"Don't worry.  We're still looking for the person who rescued you.  I want to know what really happened to you."

"Did you offend anyone, honey?"

"Did you fight with those pirates?  I told you not to go there, didn't I?  You still went." She was scolding him but in the most loving way.  It was more than a whisper, such that only their hearts could hear.

"That's what happens when you don't listen to me.  See?  So you should listen to your wife."

"So you have to wake up now."

"Do you know…  It's a secret, but I'm going to tell you.  Shhh!" She parked her index finger across her lips as a gesture of keeping the secret.  "Teng Man Rui… She's heavy with Shi Fan Hai's child.  Do you know I suggested for her to get rid of it…"

A tear fell.

"Now, I am not proud of it.  And in hindsight, I don't know if I was thinking of my friend's welfare or I just spat it out, wanting my own revenge."

Xue Jinxu crumpled Chen Linyun's hospital gown across his chest.

"I am thinking, how come the devil has got to keep his child while ours…"

Another tear fell.

"It's so unfair, don't you think?"

"Why?"

"But then, the mother of that baby is my dearest friend - almost a sister - that I love so much." She rubbed her head amorously against his neck.  "I'm thinking if the mother is another woman – not Man Rui – is it alright to exact revenge to the devil?  It will only work if the devil cares enough for the mother and child."

"It's wicked.  I'm wicked." Two pearl-sized tears escaped at the edge of her almond eyes.

"And then, Man Rui… She and that devil… For years…"

"Why them?  Why her?  Of all the girls… Why her?"

"Honey, if you don't wake up soon, I think I will lose my mind."

"Are you listening?" She was writhing in pain as she whispered in his ear.  "Please, wake up."

Xue Jinxu crumpled his shirt's cloth tighter.  "Please…"

Chen Linyun's eyeballs moved back and forth beyond the eyelids.  His fingers flinched.  His head tilted as if he was getting delirious from a high fever.

Xue Jinxu sat up a bit while gently tapping him on his cheeks.  "I'm here… I'm right here… Mhmm?"

She reached for the button on the wall that would call the doctors.
