In the hospital, after the gynaecologist attended to all her patients who came before Yang Zi, Yang Zi was invited into her office. Qing Shui and Shiyi patiently waited for Yang Zi. After the test was conducted, the three friends who knew they won't have a goodnight's sleep that day stayed behind until the result of the pregnancy came out.

"Shui Shui, you scared the hell out of us. I almost had a heart attack while waiting for the result, " Shiyi said, as they climbed down the stairs leading outside where their car was parked. The three friends did not pay attention to those going in and exiting the hospital.

​​

"Yours is even better that it was an attack, I almost felt my heart stopped when the doctor handed the result of the test to me," Yang Zi said, feeling so relieved that her fears were confirmed null and void.

"You can't blame me for presuming that she was pregnant because the symptoms she experienced was also exactly that of pregnancy. I have acted in a drama where I was pregnant and those symptoms you experienced were the exact symptoms that were on the script so, you can't blame me for coming up with such analysis," Qing Shui quickly defended herself.

"Guys, there is no need to keep on staying with me. I am fine now. Even though not for myself, but for Mi Er's sake I won't try to kill myself again. She is the only one I have in this world and I am also the only person she has in this world so, I won't leave her all alone in this harsh world," Yang Zi said in a serious tone when they reached their cars.

"I know mum's death still has a very huge impact on me. Each time I think about her, it feels like my heart is being ripped apart. I am still mourning for her right now but I won't disappoint the child who has so much trust in me. You guys know just how much I love Mi Er so, you can trust me that I won't do anything stupid," Yang Zi assured when she saw the doubtful looks on their faces.

"I will trust you just this once but believe me, I will tie you up and lock you in a room if you dare do that stupid thing you did on the rooftop," Qing Shui threatened sternly.

"I will be the one in charge of the security of the room Shui Shui will lock you in. I will make sure that you don't escape, no matter what," Shiyi said firmly.

"Ok, I know I can't escape the clutches of my two best friends so, don't worry. Instead of spending your weekend watching over me, spend with those who matter to you most," Yang Zi said as she patted Qing Shui's hair.

"Shiyi, I leave you in charge of taking care of her. Make sure her crazy fans don't pull out all of her hair," Yang Zi joked but her jokes lacked a sense of humour. They could tell she was forcing herself to joke just to put their mind at ease.

"You can count on me to protect her," Shiyi said, as he opened the door of the car for her. While Yang Zi wasn't looking, Shiyi signalled Mr Jiang not to leave her side no matter what.

Seeing Mr Jiang's cold expression made Shiyi recall the incident that happened in Yang Zi's hospital room. His mind went back to that day.

The next day, after Yang Zi woke up Mr Jiang had visited the hospital to check up on them. The way Yang Zi reacted when Mr Jiang entered the room left everyone shocked. She removed her IV pin in a flash and rushed towards where Mr Jiang was standing.

"What the hell do you think you are doing here after disobeying my orders?" Yang Zi berated as she held Mr Jiang by the collar.

"If you hadn't disobeyed my order, mum wouldn't be in the state she is right now. She would have still been alive and well. Your negligence killed my mum so it is only right that I kill you for what you did," Yang Zi said, as she pulled the gun Mr Jiang had hidden inside his suit. You should have seen everyone's shocked expression when she pointed the gun at Mr Jiang's head.

"Young Miss, I know that you are in a lot of pain right now. I also feel terrible that Madam died just like that but believe me I did not disobey your orders because I wanted to. I was only obeying the orders the Madam gave to me," Mr Jiang said firmly. Despite that a loaded gun was pointed at his head, he did not fret or stutter.

"What do you mean?" Yang Zi asked as she loosened her grip slightly around his collar. Seeing the enraged look in her eyes, everyone in the room subconsciously held their breath. They all silently wished that Yang Zi will not pull the trigger in a feat of anger.

"After you gave me orders to protect Madam, that same night Madam gave me the orders to protect you," Mr Jiang revealed the hidden truth, behind his actions.

"Zi Er's life is a thousand times better than mine. My life will be over if anything happens to that beautiful daughter of mine, I can't bear to see her hurt again after the last car accident. She is the one in more danger than me so, I want you to protect her from today. This isn't a request but an order," Mr Jiang said, staring into Yang Zi's eyes.

"These were the exact words Madam told me that night. No matter how much I wanted to obey your orders, I couldn't disobey hers. I was in a dilemma, Young Miss," Mr Jiang said. Yang Zi's hand loosened around his collar. She let go of his collar and lowered the gun she had pointed at his head.
