"You don't look bad" Weiyoung commented the girl standing directly opposite her.

Unlike her who was struggling to survive to the point where she had to wear a face mask and baseball cap whenever she was going out, Sara looked good. Like someone who had no problem at all.

She had to hide from the reporters, she also had to hide from whoever was desiring to kill her. And most importantly, she had to hide from her parents who were likely going to strangle her the moment they see her.

Her family had been trying to reach her for days but she had refused to take their calls. She knew exactly what they were going to say. They were going to blame her for their downfall and lay curses on her. She wasn't ready for any of that right now.

Her plan now was to travel out of the country with Jinyong whether he liked it or not because this country was no longer comfortable for her.

Bumping into Sara had been the last thing she needed. If she hadn't taken off her face mask a few minutes back because she felt suffocated, Sara would probably not have recognised her and they would have both gone their separate ways. But here they were...

"I don't look bad? Tell me something I don't know already" Sara replied haughtily.

"You have changed a lot" Weiyoung noted.

This wasn't the Sara she knew. And it was strange...

"Yea.. I dropped a lot of trash recently"

Sara said before her eyes moved to look at Weiyoung's tummy.

Weiyoung was wearing an oversized shirt and trousers so Sara couldn't see whether her belly was already protruding or not.

"You should thank that child you're carrying. It's the only reason I haven't taught you a lesson for those lies you told about me. You even put on an act of fainting..ah!" Sara laughed. "What a weird psycho you are."

Sara didn't want to waste time with her. She needed fresh air and the air here was already contaminated.

With one last eye roll, Sara walked past her but stopped walking when Weiyoung called her name.

"You must think you have it all now. You must think you won this fight right?" Weiyoung turned to ask her.

Sara also turned to look at her and with a confused look, she asked

"Oh... We were fighting? I really had no idea we were. I didn't put in any effort and you're already looking this terrible. Imagine when I do" Sara mocked.

Weiyoung scoffed and tried her best to control her emotions. She didn't want to blow up. Blowing up meant she was going to create a scene and that was a bad idea.

"You really do act funny now because you have CEO Li by your side. But remember, you're going to be put in your place soon. Do you think his family would ever consider you? Who do you think you are? What do you have?"

Sara smirked at her when she was done speaking. "I've always been in my place. What other place are they going to put me? You should be more concerned about your family instead. I'm really surprised you have enough free time to worry about me."

Weiyoung's hands fisted. Why did Sara always have her way with words? Why did she like to humiliate her?

"Whatever you're hiding, you cannot hide it forever. It's going to be laid out for the whole world to see. And you're going to be crushed."

Weiyoung smirked when she saw Sara's expression change after she was done speaking.

She still had the final laugh!

"At least I didn't snatch my friend's boyfriend, got pregnant for my friend's boyfriend, cling unto someone who is no longer interested in me and leech off a wealthy family."

Sara embarrassed her one more time before she turned around and walked away.

When Sara returned to the VIP hospital room later that day, she found Dr Long and a nurse in the room attending to Heya who was finally awake.

Sara sighed in relief. Heya had been asleep for long hours and even though the doctor had assured her that Heya was perfectly fine, she still couldn't help but worry.

"You're awake. Thank goodness. I was beginning to get really worried"

Sara bowed to greet Dr Long and the nurse as they both left the room.

Dr Long greeted her warmly. He recognised her as the lady who had brought Muchen dinner when he was 'sick' and after she came that day, Muchen discharged himself saying he was better now.

He only just realised today that she was Heya's coach. But he still had his suspicion about her and Muchen. Why would his sister's coach bring him dinner?

"I'm sorry Sara" Heya apologized after the two left with tears clouding her eyes.

"It's okay. It's fine" Sara covered Heya's hand with hers. "I don't want you to think much about it. I'll meet Dr Long to know what's wrong"

"He already said I'm good and a lot of other things. He advised me not to push myself too much and just take things slowly" Heya said.

Sara nodded and sat on Heya's bed before pulling her into a hug. "I was really worried. I'm so glad you're okay"

"You didn't tell anyone did you?" Heya asked hopefully.

"No one is aware. I thought you wouldn't like it" Sara answered.

"Thank you so much Sara." Heya wrapped her hands around Sara. "I'm really sorry." She tried to sniffle back tears.

Sara pulled out from the hug and looked at her. "What happened? Did I push you too much with the exercises?"

"No...you did nothing wrong. It was totally my fault. I was too impatient." Heya admitted as she used a hand to clean off her tears.

"I know. Especially when you see the improvement, you'll want to overdo it. It's a normal thing" Sara handed her a box of tissue as she lectured.

"Sara. My twentieth birthday is in two months. I already promised big bro that I'll wear the dress he bought me on my birthday. Grandmother's birthday is next week and our school's reunion is on the day after new year. I already promised Cearo I was going to attend and I told him I was improving with this weight loss. I also have to resume school next year. I just...wanted to get this over with on time so I'll live a normal life. The life I already imagine myself living. I guess I was too impatient."

"Why didn't you tell me about any of these?" Sara asked in a hurt tone.

"I didn't want to bother you with this. I thought I could take care of it. You know I've never really gone out for any occasion aside from when I was in school. But now, I'll obviously have to come out. I can't miss grandmother's birthday even."

"Don't pressure yourself too much. If something happens to you, you won't be able to live the kind of life you have been imagining. It's a gradual process dearie. I assure you.... Your dreams is going to come true. No matter what, I'll help you make sure you achieve it. But please, do not hide anything from me anymore." Sara pleaded with her.
