Once the door was opened, Feng Shufen saw the woman lying unconscious on the floor. His eyes instantly turned stiff and ruinous. Sister Margaret, who has come following Du Fan, also saw Li Xue on the floor and felt pity for her.
"Young Master, I will …", the middle-aged lady initiated her words to say that she would go in and check the condition but before even she could get to complete her words, the man already walked inside.
Bending down on his knees near Li Xue, Feng Shufen looked at her. Her face was covered with her luscious, dark, wavy chocolate brown hair. Moving his fingers slowly over her face, he removed all her stray hair aside to reveal her dainty, paled countenance. The moment his eyes fell at her features, he felt a pang in his heart.
She looked much worse than he had seen her in the morning. So pale and haggard!
His eyes got cold when he spotted her lips swollen and a little blue at the corner. Someone actually dared to slap her! He roared inside.
"Call Dr Huang!" he ordered and directly picked the woman up in his arms to take her inside. He was surprised at how soft and light she felt in his arms like she has no weight at all. Was this the thing she wanted to hide from him? Was this the vulnerability she was talking about?
He felt the ache for her. Quickly walking inside the room, he put her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Then walking to the in-room bathroom, he brought out a wet towel.
He had no idea what had happened to her that had brought her to such a weak state. But one thing was sure that this will be her last time facing something like this.
Keeping his eyes at her face, he gently wiped off her features clean and then turned to look outside. "Sister Margaret!" he called out, allowing the woman to show herself at the door of the room.
"Yes, Young Master!" she asked for the orders politely. Feng Shufen's eyes trailed back to look at the woman lying on the bed as he said, "Help Li Xue, change her clothes first" Saying this he passed her rough hands to give a caress at her soft skin and then stood up and left the room.
Outside the room, Du Fan came and informed President Feng, "the doctor is on his way". The man's eyes were all cold, devoid of any warmth. Just looking at him like this, sent a bone-chilling shiver down the driver's spine.
Waving his hand to dismiss him, Feng Shufen did not say anything. He simply walked to the living room, taking a seat on the sofa. The silence that he has created around himself felt so terrifying. Getting the opportunity, Du Fan did not hesitate but instantly walked out of the house.
It's only good to stay far from the area where soon a catastrophe will be generated!
"How is she?" Feng Shufen asked and the doctor was surprised to the core. His eyes turned to look around the room. Did this room have any mystic power inside? How did President Feng's whole demeanour change just by coming inside this room?
Moments before when he had come to the house, he was terrified with the dark chilliness, he had felt exuding from him, but looking at him now there seems to be none present anymore. That murderous aura has disappeared as it had never been present in the first place. Something like magic!
But little did the doctor know that it wasn't any magic or mystic to turn the man so caring and gentle rather it was invincible charms of the frail-looking woman, who was lying on the bed deep in her unconscious sleep.
"President Feng, after taking a check on her in the morning, I never thought that her situation would worsen to such a state. She had a very serious anxiety attack earlier. But everything seems to be fine now. She has got unconscious out of tiredness but she is fine. This would not have happened if she has taken some tranquilisers she has been prescribed before", the doctor informed.
"Prescribed before? Do you mean she has been suffering from these anxiety attacks for a long time back?" the man asked, his heart clenching tight with the thought of how much she has suffered in her past.
Dr Huang nodded humbly and then confirmed, "Yes, President Feng. Based on her condition, I can say that this was not her first time getting this type of anxiety attack. Human neurology is really complex. Something might have happened in her past that had led her to such a situation. And every time she remembers about it, she suffers. If I am not wrong then in the morning too, that pale face was one of the symptoms of this attack"
The doctor paused and then turned to look back at Li Xue's weak frame that was perfectly tucked inside the blanket. "But there is nothing to worry now. I have given her a mild dose of temazepam and she is sleeping under the effect of that short-acting hypnotic drug now. Once she wakes up she will be all normal", the doctor added.
Feng Shufen nodded to his words, his eyes fixed at the woman, not leaving her for even a second. The doctor waited and waited but no words came out to address him. In the end, he himself asked, "President Feng, I will take my leave now"
And as he asked, he immediately received the acceptance nod as if the man was already waiting for his leave request. The doctor left hurriedly, not knowing if he will be able to handle such a side of the man anymore.
After the doctor left, Feng Shufen took his steps towards the bed and took a close look at Li Xue. Her face seemed so calm and beautiful, yet he can see the lines of pain and suffering. He knew some short stories of her past but not even for a second did his heart or mind let him believe it. Even before he met her, the feelings of belief were all the same. Like he knew from eternity that this woman can never do something like that. Like he was confident with his own discovered fact that she can never be involved with any man, except him.
Pulling a chair beside her bed, he sat and held her hands with his rough ones while the other one went to caress her soft hairs gently. Li Xue, who was still under the effects of sedative felt a sense of déjà vu. She has felt this before too. What's happening? Is he the same man from before?
