Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 299
When he heard she tried to love him, his heart couldn’t help softening.
He thought for a while if he should forgive her or not, if he didn’t forgive her then he knows best that her sadness will only torment him to death.
Even if he can’t have her as his woman at least…
{…at least I have you by my side forever– as my best friend}
He slowly raised his hands to her back but hesitated for a while but he couldn’t help it, his hand wrapped around her back at last.
She was surprised to feel his touch.
Fool…I clearly know you love him for real, I really wanted to bring the one to bring you that happiness but the smile you had on your face with him was the best I have ever seen on your face, I am happy when you are happy…so you had better make sure you are happy–with him,”
Her tears ceased immediately, she didn’t expect him to forgive her that easily but then and again, this is not the first time.
“I love you, my best friend,” she tightened her grip on his neck then sobbed slightly while he also tightened his wrap on her back.
The tightness of his chest ceased and his face became bright once again just like magic.

The next day at the hospital, the hospital became even busier than it always is because of two trauma cases in the city, although everyone in Yu Yan’s team was not involved in helping to ease the situation, they had to take care of the work of those in other teams.
Last night, after leaving Chen Kai’s place, she didn’t bother with returning to the mansion since she has an early shirt by one in the morning, she just drove to the hospital then she slept for the remaining few hours she has before her shift starts.
The operation rooms were already filled as early as that time so she either has to wait or perform the minor operations she has scheduled for the start of her shift in the empty wards.
As early as ten in the morning, she already felt all the energy in her body spent but it wasn’t only her that felt that way, the rest of her friend group were also on a shift from last night to this morning without rest except for An Ke, Li Chen and Han Chen.
After helping with the discharge papers of one of the patients, she finally returned to her office with her fist massaging her neck, as soon as she opened the door, she felt a strong hand pull her inside to a blind spot while swiftly shutting the door.
“Wh-”
Her lips clashed with his lips before she could shout when he startled her, her widened eyes kept looking into his eyes as his lips formed into a smile with her lips on his.
She hit his chest with her other hand then pulled away.
“What are you doing this early in the morning, you almost made my heart jump out of my chest!” she scolded in a loud whisper not wanting others outside the office to hear them.
“What do you think—I am punishing my fiancee who left me hanging through the entire night-” he responded in a sulking tone, it then occurred to her that she didn’t call him to tell her that she is staying at the hospital and she even switched off her phone when it kept making beeping noises.
Her eyes turned doe-like.
“I forgot, sorry,” she apologised then she pouted her lips cutely, he looked the other way to avoid looking at that cute face of hers in fear that he might give in to her apology too early, she smiled knowing what his intentions are.
“Are you really not going to look at me?”
“No,”
She raised her toes then plastered a kiss on his cheeks to tempt him, he balled his fist to control his urge to do something they shouldn’t be doing in a place of work.
“Really…?”
In another attempt, she kissed the tip of his nose causing him to tighten his fist but he soon loosened it as he couldn’t withhold himself any longer, he turned to her with a smirk, judging from the look on his face, she knew he is definitely up to no good but before she could react, he suddenly gripped her waist then pushed her gently…maybe roughly, towards the wall.
She gasped in shock until he started kissing her, giving her no chance to speak or catch her breath, her widened eyes remained open not knowing whether to push him away or to…whatever, she wrapped her hand around his neck then went along with his flow.
They both kissed passionately despite being in the office as she moved from the wall towards the desks, they were about to expose themselves through the see-through glass window when she tapped his shoulder, he pulled back for a sec.
“The blinds,” she cautioned, with his hands still around her waist, they moved towards the window where she pulled the blinds then instantly, they continued. They kept moving around until they got to the corner of the desk where he carries her on the table then they paused and smiled before they tilted their heads to continue but as soon as their lips met, the door opened.
“Yu Yan…”
She instantly pushed him away with much force causing him to land painfully on the ground but he immediately stood up then started pretending to look for something under the table while she arranged her hair that had been scattered by the constant movement of his hand then she pulled down her lycra skirt that had gathered up.
Jia Yu stood still looking at them with amusement, especially Han Chen who is still pretending to have lost something.
“Were both of you-”
“No, we were not kissing!” they both chorused with flustered expressions on their faces, when they realize what they have done, they turned to each other with accusing glances.
“You guys were making out in the office, a hospital?” she queries with an act of discipline when she herself does worst things with Ji Chen in the office.
“Are you going to say what you came here for or not?” she responded in an attempt to change the topic which she succeeded in because Jia Yu didn’t want to make her poor cousin embarrassed, she merely glanced at him with a threatening look that says ‘now I have something against you’.
He lowered his head then sighed before leaving the office to attend to anything that might need his attention since his first surgery for the day is still two hours away.
Jia Yu took her seat in front of Yu Yan with her expression turning serious which makes Yu Yan curious to know what she is about to say.
“What is it that makes you look so serious?” she questioned with curiosity written on her face with a broad smile.
“I was just at the hepatology department when I heard something absurd so I decided to tell you about it,” she responded then she licked her lips and leaned forward on the table. Yu Yan chuckled seeing her brace herself to gossip.
“And here I was thinking you had something serious to say but it turns out that you just wanted to gossip, since when did you become An Ke?” Yu Yan responded jokingly.
“This is really serious—at least for someone like you,” hearing her say that makes the smile on her face faint in anticipation.
“I was going to discuss something about a patient of mine when I overhead surgeon Yan and surgeon Ding discussing with her team leader-”
“Surgeon Yan…the one I am close with?”
“Who else, don’t interrupt me, they seemed to be arguing about a V.I.P patient receiving a liver transplant but Surgeon Yan was seriously against it because the patient secretly had alcohol despite the strict warning, can you imagine such nonsense?” she narrated with a clearly offended frown on her face, being a person of morals when it comes to saving patients like Yu Yan, she couldn’t bring herself to overlook such outrageousness.
{Could it be the V.I.P patient who-}
Without further ado, she immediately sprung up from her seat then she rushed towards the exit.
“Where are you going?” Jia Yu questioned but it fell on deaf ears as she exited the office then walked towards the hepatology department. She might be able to let it go if it isn’t the same liver that the patient has been denied because a V.I.P patient got it first.
Taking alcohol before the surgery changes the case, now the patient no longer has the right to the liver until the alcohol in his body clears up, this way, the patient she transferred should be the one to have the liver.
