Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 246
“How is he?” they inquired in unison, the surgeon sighed then he smiled reassuringly, removing his mask.
“The operation was successful but we still need to monitor his progress, you know the drills so I trust I don’t need to explain much,” he smiled faintly and lowered his head then he walked away while they turned until his back disappeared from their sight, Just then, two doctors wheeled him out of the operating theatre.
They rushed towards them, calling out his name.
His face looked pale and his head was wrapped in a bandage, they followed them until they arrived a the intensive care unit and a tube which is connected to a ventilator was placed in his mouth, both watched him from outside the glass door with a concerned look in their eyes.
After the doctors exited the ward, they entered the ward using their identities as surgeons, Jia Yu sat on the stool beside the bed while Yu Yan stood behind her.
“Brother,” she called, she took his hand in hers and placed it on her cheek.
“You have to wake up soon, otherwise, mum and dad will be angry, if you don’t wake up, I will tell them you are in china and then you will have them nagging at you every day, so you had better wake up,” she threatened, wishing he could hear her and strengthen his resolve to wake up from his unconscious state.
“Jia Yu you are needed at the department,” a female surgeon informed as she barged into the ward as though there is an emergency, Jia Yu nodded her head and turned to Yu Yan.
“You can go, I will be here for a while,” Yu Yan said, understanding what her gaze meant, she nodded at her again and exited the ward with the surgeon who had just barged into the ward, as soon as she left she took her seat on the stool and fixed her eyes on his face.
Her eyes fell on the scar below his neck, the thought of the familiarity she felt when she first saw hat scar invaded her, she drew closer to him to get a clear view of the scar, she placed her hand on the scar and traced the scar.
“If he is really the one then he must have gotten this scar because of me and the accident that caused me to lose part of my memory must have been because of him…No, I didn’t lose my memory, I just forgot everything about him,” with her finger still on his neck, she raised her gaze to his face.

“This is the end of today’s lesson, in the next class, you will all be required to submit your group project next week, have a good day,” the biology teacher exited the class then the class turned rowdy once again.
Since Li Na’s seat is at the front of Min Young’s seat, both girls started chatting right away but her seatmate kept his eyes fixed on her with a deep frown on his face that others didn’t notice, after seeing his brother with her aunt, a seed of jealousy gree in his heart.
She stood up from her seat and held Min Young’s hand then she pulled her out of the class since they don’t have any teacher coming in, he pushed his chair back and followed after her, once they were a little bit away from the class.
He walked towards her and held her wrist, both girls were startled by his sudden appearance, they looked up to see who it was.
“Huh…seatmate,” Li Na exclaimed seeing him with a smile on her face, never for once has she seen him talk to anyone and he is always sleeping during the classes but was surprised her is that no one ever scolds him for that.
“H-Han Li…” Min Young muttered with a shocked look on her face, the school prince is actually standing in front of them..right now…and…her eyes fell on his hand on Li Na’s wrist, he is even holding her hand, if others were to see this…
“I need to talk to you,” the stern look and frown on his face convinced her that whatever he wants to say but be something serious.
“Actually…I need to go somewhere with Min Young, you can tell me whatever it is when we get back to the class,”.
Min Young was stunned hearing her answer if he said that to any girl in the school, they will definitely faint right on the spot, she is, of course, one of the girls who are crushing on him but she had never for once thought they were possible.
“I need to talk to you now,” he insisted, the grip on her hand tightened.
“Hey you are hurting me,” she complained but his grip only tightened, Min Young started getting scared thinking she might have angered him, after all, anyone who angers him has never met a good end.
“For the last time, I need to talk to you,” he insisted, with a tone of authority, her forehead creased as she was starting to get annoyed with this seatmate of hers.
“Let me go,” she snapped her wrist out of his grip then she rubbed it with a frown on her face.
“Why are you so rude, do you have to be so rough the first time you talk to me?” she scolded.
“What…rude, hey, who do you think you are?” he moved closer to him, his frown deepening, as he lowered his gaze on her.
“I can’t be bothered with you,” she eyed him and turned back to walk away, he watched her with a stupefied expression on his face, no one in the school has ever dared to talk to him in that way, except for his two friends but this girl who doesn’t even amount to him dared to talk to him in this way and she is even close to that brother of his.
“Interesting….”
They got to the school field where both girls sat on the grass.
“Who does he think he is?” she coffed and rubbed her wrist again.
“Li Na, don’t you know who he is, no one in the school dares to offend him or they might get targeted by the whole school, you might have gotten on his wrong side,” concern filled her face.
“tch! I don’t care and I have never been scared of anyone,”
“His brother is the owner of Han Corporate group, even the teachers and headmistress dare not offend him, when he first got to the school, he always got into fights every day and he never listens in class but do you know the surprising thing about him?”
“What?”
“He always comes first in class anyways, everyone suspects that the school probably gave him the answer to the exam questions before the exam but no one really knows the truth,”
“That must be it, he is always sleeping in class, how can he come first with his own ability,”
“But you should still be careful, getting on his wrong side is something everyone wants to avoid,”
“Hmmn…”

She left the ward after a while then she headed straight to the team leader’s office, she locked on the door and entered after receiving permission.
“Team leader,” she greeted with a slight bow.
“Take your seat,” she responded, then Yu Yan took her seat opposite her.
“Are you okay now, Han Chen told me you were sick so you couldn’t come to work?”
“Yes, I am okay, I just wanted to apologise for my absence,”
“It’s alright…I heard about what happened at the party,”
As soon as she mentioned it, Yu Yan wondered if the team leader also thinks of her as a slut and a gold digger, she lowered her gaze in embarrassment.
“Team l…”
“I just want you to know that I do not believe any of the rumours surrounding you, I know you are not the type of girl to do something like that,” her gaze on Yu Yan made her feel parental love, seeing that there is someone apart from her friends and family who trusts her really made her feel good.
She raised her gaze to the team leader with a sentimental and touched look on his face.
“Don’t look at me like that, I am still angry that you didn’t tell me you were dating someone, even though I am a bit strict with you all, I thought we were close enough for that,” she teased folding her arms on her chest.
“Huh…You always told us to never gossip at work,”
“Using my words against me…good job,” they both chuckled at the not too funny joke, it might her mood lighten.
“You can return to your work now, I handed your patients over to An Ke, now that you are back, you can be in charge of them again,”
“Alright,” she stood up from the seat and bowed her head before leaving the office.
The team leader smiled while watching her back until she was out of sight.
