She looks up at the man who is standing in front of her with a frown on her face.
'Did he say he's my butler? What ages is this? Do people still hire a butler nowadays? I thought when he told me a butler, it'll be an 'assistant' or something like that.'
Seeing her confused expression, he coughed a little before saying. "Madam, I am your shield and sword. Anything you want me to do, I will do without any question and doubt. You can trust me and order me around." He kneels before her, just like a knight kneeling to his master. A few bystanders who are also waiting at the waiting room surprised by his behavior. They all looked at the girl on the sofa.
'Holy shit! What is he thinking? Kneeling and saying those misleading words??' She screams inside.
"Oh! Please stand up. Don't kneel down there. People will talk bad later." She suddenly feels like she wants to jump from the sofa where she sat right now.
"Ah... also, please don't use any honorific with me... Just call me Rin is okay." She said again. Just when she wants to say something, the operating room's door suddenly opened by a few nurses and doctors. All of the eyes at the waiting room focus on the doctors with nervousness. Thinking maybe one of their family was just done with the surgery.
"Is patient Hai Yun relatives are here?" said one of the doctors in the waiting room.
"Here! I am a patient's relative." Hai Rin stands up and walks toward the doctor with Andy Lu follow her from behind.
"Let us discuss it in another room." The doctor then led them to another room that is not far from the waiting room.
"Miss, I'll be honest with you, if you don't mind."
"Yes, please do so." Hai Rin clamps her hands together while waiting for the doctor to explain about her grandmother's condition.
"Your grandmother's age factor causing a big risk in this surgery; however, she still survived from the critical phase for now. She will be wake up soon and need at least 3 months of recuperation. She can't lift or do any heavy works and anything that can trigger her into a shock. I suggest you start to find someone who can take care of her if you are unavailable to attend to it." The doctor glance at the man behind her.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, doctor, for your hard work." she cupped her hand into her face and felt a bit relief.
"You're welcome. Now I'll take my leave first." He nodded and walked away toward the door. Before he steps out from the door, he turned around and said.
"Young man, as a husband, you must stay and support your wife through everything from thick and thin. Don't let her wear out." The doctor smiles and turns around back.
Hai Rin was dumbfounded when she heard the doctor's word just now. Did the doctor thinks Andy is my husband? She also looks at Andy's face. His face turned a bit pale than before.
"Why? What happened?" she asked curiously.
"No. Nothing." He shook his head, worriedly. 'I'll be damn if he knew someone calls his wife is mine.'
"Don't worry, I'm not telling him. You said I can trust you, right? So, you need to trust me too." She patted on his shoulder and started walking out of the room. Andy Lu follows her from behind quietly.
After she settled everything that needs to be taken care of, she looks at the man who walks at her side.
"Andy, it's late now. You can go back to your home. I'll still need to see my mother at another hospital. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"I'm sorry, Madam Rin, but I can't let you go alone. It's my job to take care of you. I'll send you to the hospital. Let's go." He led her to the car park and opened the car passenger door.
"Erm.. thanks. And Andy, just call me Rin, okay?" She then sat at the passenger seat. She's too tired to argue with him. After all, he was just doing his job. So it's not a big deal for her.
...
At the Mental Health Hospital.
10 minutes drove from Princeton Hospital, they finally arrive at Mental Health Hospital. Hai Rin looked at Andy and said. "You can wait for me here. It won't take long."
Andy Lu nodded his head and watched Hai Rin go inside the room at the corner. All the nurse looks at him with an excited face.
"Who is he? He's so handsome."
"Didn't you see he's coming with Miss Rin, he must be her boyfriend."
"This is the first time I see Miss Rin coming here with a man. She must be lucky enough to have such a handsome boyfriend like him. Ohh... I'm so jealous.."
"Hey, aren't you already married. Why you want to get jealous?"
"Why not? Sometimes I also want to refresh my eyes by looking at a hot guy, you know..."
Andy Lu hears what other nurses said about him and Hai Rin, but he's not giving any thought about it. As long it's not disturbing his work, it's doesn't matter to him.
Inside the room, Hai Rin caresses her mother's hair gently. Hai Yin already asleep when she comes to visit. She then kisses her mother's forehead. The person who raised her with all her love, even though she's mentally sick because of her father, she still treats her good enough as a mother.
Just because her grandmother getting old and can't take care of her mother while she was working to earn money for their household, they had to send her to this hospital. Here, she can get better treatment and care. She's not wandering around and lost like before.
Hai Yin felt something soft was touching her forehead, and she opens her eyes slowly. She saw her daughter pretty face and smile lovingly at her.
"Rinrin..." she said softly and tried to get up from the bed. Hai Rin helps her mother to sit in a comfortable position.
"Mama, I miss you." She said with a gentle voice, and she placed her head at her lap.
"Mmm... Rinrin, did your papa coming as well?" she caresses her hair and starts to look at the door.
"Papa... He said he's quite busy today. I promise him to take care of you while he was away." She just blurts it out.
Just before Hai Yin wants to say something, there is a knocking sound on the door, and it slides open by Andy Lu. He walks toward Hai Rin slowly as he sees that she lean on her mother.Hai Rin turns her head around and looks at the man who walks toward her. She raises her eyebrow a little asking him what the matter is?"Madam, Master is on the phone. He said that he called your phone, but it was turned off." Andy Lu whispers in her ear to let her know the reason he had to come into the room.She nods her head and took the phone that Andy Lu handed to her. She looked at her mother and said gently."Mama, I need to take this call. It won't take long. I promise you, okay?" she smiles and walks away from the room.Andy Lu, who just want to follow Hai Rin, was dumbfounded when suddenly Hai Rin's mother grabs his arm softly.He turns his head and facing Hai Yin with a smile. "Yes, Ma'am?" he asked nicely."Ma'am? Honey, don't you remember m
"Err... Is it alright if I stay with you?" he shook his head and asked again."No, what I mean is... it'll be just the two of us. If people see us together, they will talk something bad about you and your family, right?" he tries to be rational."It's okay... Our family is always being bullied by others, so I don't really mind what they said. But, if you don't mind to travel 40 minutes away and get back to me in the morning tomorrow, then I also wouldn't mind though. It's already 1:00 am right now.""Uh... But if master..""I won't tell him, okay? We're not a lovey-dovey couple. We just married to fulfill each other's needs and responsibilities." She cut his word before he could finish. He is sure a very loyal servant to his master, huh?"After all, you said you can be my shield and sword, right? So this is my order." She insists Andy Lu has to stay with her tonight is because she was afraid of staying alone at home. Ever since she was a kid,
After the doctor confirming her that her grandmother is in good condition, Hai Rin walks toward Hai Yun, who is still lying in a hospital bed.Her hair has long turned into a greyish color. Her once beautiful face also has a lot of wrinkles now. She smiles, lovingly at her grandmother."Nainai, how are you?" she asks while her hand was still caressing Hai Yun's hair."Hmm... I'm too old now. I must be a burden to you." She didn't answer Hai Rin's question, but she patted her hand, her voice sounded a bit sad. Like she was blaming herself for troubling her granddaughter."No... Nainai. You're not a burden to me. You're in fact, a blessing to me. I'm glad that I can be your granddaughter in this lifetime." She hugs her and kisses her softly on the top of her head."Rinrin, I have something that I need to tell you..." Hai Yun faces turn serious, along with her voice.She stare at her grandmother's face, feels a bit uneasy in her heart, but she
A few hours later, they arrive at Imperial International Airport. Andy Lu leading Hai Rin to the lobby hall while waiting for the driver to pick them up. While they were waiting, there's a crowd and commotion around them. All of them are girls and also a bunch of reporters who take the opportunity to join the commotion as well.At the same time, there's a red striking Maybach 6 slowly park at the lobby entrance. The driver then opens the passenger seat and a young man in a burgundy suit and white shirt step out from the car.That man is so handsome and a few girls standing there starting to make a 'kyaa~' sound among them. Hai Rin just takes a glance at the man who is walking with prestige and grace not far from them.Suddenly the man's eyes also stare at her at the same time. They both look at each other. A weird feeling arouses between the two of them. Both of them squint their eyes a little before turning their head around back.'Who's that girl? W
Xin Me ignoring Mu Ning words. She had no desire to argue with that woman. She then looks at her son and the woman beside him. Well, her clothes look modest though.Richard Lee calmly holds Hai Rin's hand and walks toward the elder, Lee Zhen, and bowing to him respectfully."Grandpa, introducing my wife, Hai Rin from Calestical city."Hai Rin also does the same, she bows her head to the elders and said politely. "Nice to meet you, grandpa."Lee Zhen looks at the girl's face. He smiles a little before he nodded his head. "Nice to meet you too. Welcome to our family, miss Hai Rin.""Father! How come you accept her as my son's wife? She was just an unknown girl. We know nothing about her!" Lee Han starts to cause trouble."Yes father, Richard never mentioned her until now. How could we agree to this? Just because we're not agreeing him to marry Su Zhin, he must be put this act to fool all of us." Xin Me looks at her father-in-law with a worried
He grabs the towel that landed on his face and put it back at the marble top beside the granite basin.He pinches the space between his eyebrow. "Then, how are we gonna prove it to the elders that we've done it?""Are they gonna check whether I'm still a virgin or not? That's so rude, you know." she couldn't believe that they really want to do something like that."I 100% sure that they will find a way to find it out. So to be safe we need to do it. As I said, I will be very considerate and not hurt you. Just this once, and after they satisfied they will take out the bug from the room and we're safe. No need to have sex again." he looks at her with a serious face."Urghhh…" she tapped her finger at the marble top trying to figure something out."Rin... I won't judge your..." before he could finish his sentence, she snapped her finger."I know! But I want you to promise me one thing..." she looks at Richard's face."What is it?"
After they finish their dinner together, they headed to the living room and had a casual conversation among the family members.What Hai Rin can see is her mother-in-law are not in a good term with her aunt-in-law while her father-in-law is quite close with his younger brother.Both of them keep talking about business matters. While Richard was with the elder Zhen, updating the business report things to him.When she has analyzed all the people in this household silently, Lee Zhing comes and approaches her from behind."Hi, Rin, nice to finally meet you. I'm Lee Zhing. But just call me Zhing. When I was a child, I really want a sister when I was young but my mother is so cheapskate to give me one." she said nonchalantly."Nice to meet you too, Zhing. Just call me as you call me earlier." she tries to put on act as a bad person. But she doesn't know how to start it."So, Rin.. tell me how did you both know each other?" she asked
When she walks out of the dressing room, the light in the bedroom quite dim with a few romance settings. Richard turns on the stereo with a slow classic musical and adjusts the room temperature.He walks to Hai Rin which is covering her body with only the robe and led her to the bed. Both of them sat at the edge of the bed. She handed the necktie to him.He looks at the necktie and raises his eyebrow a little, asking for an explanation."It'll be very helpful for us to not see each other's expression while doing it," she said in a very slow voice that can only be heard by him.He takes one necktie and wraps around her eyes before he ties it behind her head. Another one he ties it at both of her wrists.Just like how he plans earlier, he takes the lead by starting to kiss her soft and pinkish lips.When Richard's lips touch hers, she startled a moment and flinch her body back a little.Seeing how she react toward his kisses, he instant
