I came out of the office. As soon as I closed the door, I heard the vice president plead for mercy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I’m sorry. I really did it wrong.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, please forgive me. I won’t dare next time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I walked step by step in the corridor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If I didn’t know it was Ming, I would have thought he was calling Sean President Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got back to the emergency room door, I saw Sean smoking by the garbage can. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was only wearing a thin black suit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There were few people in the hospital at night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was the only one standing in such a big place. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The moon in autumn was particularly cold. In the cold moonlight, the cigarette butts in his hands were very lonely and small. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood a few meters away from him to see him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of what he said just now, my mood was complicated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I looked at him, he suddenly turned his head and saw me in the distance. He put out his cigarette and waved to me, “come here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little hesitant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to have guessed my mind. “There are many people in this hospital. I won’t eat you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was right. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stepped towards him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood a meter away from him and looked up at him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had decided to forget him, but now even if I stood in front of him, my heart beat faster. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought about it and said, “President Jessop, can you not bet with Ming? Everything is over. Just let yourself go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw Ming just now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought Sean seemed to be telling the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If he gambled with Ming, the loser may really be him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew how much Sean had, but I didn’t know how much Ming had. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” He smiled when I said that. “Are you worried about me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I think you stick to the past. People have to look forward, don’t they?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if I didn’t admit it now, Sean had identified me as June. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to stress that I was not. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked down at me. He was silent for a while before he said, “if you marry someone else, I would rather protect you far away and not interfere in your life. But you can’t marry him. I hurt you. I can’t let him hurt you again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ming won’t hurt…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ming? Do you know him? Do you know how much assets he has?” Sean interrupted me. He squatted down and looked up at me. He said firmly and seriously, “believe me. He’s not what you see.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at his black eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even though Sean had done so much, I still had unshakable trust in him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time I believed what he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could I trust him? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head desperately and took a step back. “President Jessop, why should I believe you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” Sean realized that I was wavering. He said to me, “he is my grandpa’s illegitimate son. He was picked up in his twenties. Before that he was just a poor doctor. After he was picked up, Grandpa just gave him 20 million dollars, but he quietly developed into what he is now. Do you think he’s just lucky?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It only shows that he has the ability.” I said firmly, “your family discriminates against him because he is an illegitimate son. Don’t you allow him to develop himself well?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” Sean frowned. “People thinks he has only the Sunshine Hospital and no company. The rest are his hidden assets. Sacred Heart Hospital is just the tip of the iceberg. He has a lot of other assets. He used a lot of illegal means to make money. I’m afraid you’re being used and implicated by him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What did Sean mean? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It couldn’t be true. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming shouldn’t do these things. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Definitely not! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought for a moment and looked up at Sean. “He didn’t. I believe in him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could I be induced by Sean? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I still didn’t believe it. Sean seemed a little emotional. He reached out and grabbed my arm. “Do you trust him so much?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Becky, why are you out there? It’s cold. Don’t catch a cold.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I wanted to answer Sean, I heard Ming behind me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice was as gentle as ever. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Sean told me that so I couldn’t ignore my inner hesitation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The vice president just now was very afraid of Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked back and saw Ming standing twenty meters away. He was coming to me step by step. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I turned to walk towards him, Sean held my arm tightly. He whispered, “if you need help, you can call me anytime. I will always help you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was still squatting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His deep eyes looked more cool but firm in the cold night. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment and didn’t answer him. I turned to Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I came to Ming’s side. He took off his coat and draped it over my shoulder. He said in my most familiar voice, “I’ve arranged a ward.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’ think how the vice president helped him arrange the ward just now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming took me to the emergency room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean got up, too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
About an hour later, James was out of danger and moved to the intensive care unit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A servant took care of him. Ming sent me back to the studio. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was in a hurry to finish the design, so I had been working in the studio since that day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I worked for ten days. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In these ten days, I finished the landscape design. I drafted the main style of interior design and sent it to David. I marked all the special points that needed attention about the corridor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The rest was done by David’s interior designer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, I charged by area. If I did interior design, the unnecessary budget would increase. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After I handed in the draft, the project began. My work was over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned on my cell phone and looked for a ticket to the Carson City. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I booked a ticket for the day after tomorrow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was going to visit James tomorrow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming said he was only in hospital for three days last time. He had been resting at home and seldom went out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought about it. Since I went to see a patient, I couldn’t go without something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went to a nearby nutrition store and bought something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I entered the nutrition store, there was only one guest. This kind of shop usually had few guests and only one waiter. I browsed around and waited for the guest to finish. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that the guest was a little slow. The waiter said impatiently, “do you want to buy it? Hurry up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” The voice of the guests came into my ears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It souned a little humble. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the voice souned familiar. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
