Jia let out a breath and wiped her eyes as she broke out of that past stupor. It was still fresh in her mind. Song Lan died right in front of her.
And all that time, Wei didn't have a trace of remorse. His fingers didn't tremble even for a second as he shot them to death. His eyelashes didn't flutter even for a moment as he killed two people in cold blood.
From that night on, every last cell of her body hated Wei. He killed her parents, he even 'killed' her, and then he claimed that he loved Lihua?
She chuckled in disdain.
"Does a man in love kill their beloved's entire family and then marry her as if nothing ever happened? If this is love, then it's better to stay your whole life all alone…"
Sometimes, Jia didn't understand who was worse. Jiang Wei or Jiang Zhen?
She got up, her eyes flashing with iciness.
At this point, she only wanted to save Lihua. She could look into the truth once Lihua and her baby were safe. But Lihua was her priority now.
I will save you, Lihua. And then I will take you away from the Jiang family once and for all.

"What?"
Lihua unblinkingly stared at Lu Bojing, who didn't dare to meet her eyes at all. He trembled and hid his crying face in his hands.
"I-I am really sorry. I am sorry for hiding this from you. B-But it was an order from Boss n-not to utter a word about it…I am his assistant. I-I could only follow…Please don't hate me!"
Lihua was blank. Everything else went over her head, and only his last words hovered in her mind.
'She is alive!'
'She is alive!'
After a long time, she finally found her strength to speak. "S-Sis Jia?"
He nodded.
"Is alive…?"
He nodded again.
"Bojing. This is not a good time to make a fool out of me…"
Lu Bojing vigorously shook his head. "I am not lying! Song Jia is alive and is in Boss's l-lab…"
Her jaw dropped. "What!?"
Lu Bojing jolted. "S-sorry...sorry, sorry, sorry. I am really sorry!"
Lihua felt a headache coming. "Okay, first stop with so many sorries. If you kept saying that, then we wouldn't move anywhere here."
He bit his lip. "O-okay…"
Lihua took a glass and gulped the whole water from it. She felt she really needed her head to cool down.
She took a deep breath. "Okay. Please understand that I am calm right now. So tell me everything from the beginning. Saying that sis is alive doesn't make sense when Wei confessed himself that he had...shot her in the chest," she trembled. "He saw her die right in front of him."
Lu Bojing slowly said, "I will tell everything from the beginning…"
So he did. About how Jia was taken to the lab from Wei's base. How Mingshen sensed a faint pulse from her and immediately operated on her. How he saved her because of her heart's condition and how she was in a coma for months.
Lihua gravely stared at him.
Then she slowly said, "...I do remember this fact that sis has her heart tilted to the right. So, that's what saved her…"
"Y-Yes…"
"So sis is really alive."
"Yes."
Lihua felt her vision turn blurry as tears filled her eyes.
Was this a miracle? Did God show some mercy on her and let Jia live on?
Her heart was overwhelmed with happiness, grief and so many different emotions. She burst into silent sobs as she thought about Jia.
Sis is here...sis didn't leave me. Sis never left me…
Lihua cried for a long time. She couldn't express how relieved she felt at this moment. She took some time to herself and as the tears stopped, she looked back at Lu Bojing.
"So w-when I was admitted in Mingshen's lab, sis Jia was there at that time?"
Lu Bojing coughed. "Yes. She was one floor above from where you were re-resting…"
"I see."
She gave it a thought and asked another question. "Why did Mingshen save sis?"
Lu Bojing stiffened.
"They don't even know each other. Why did he save her and then kept her in his lab? Then you said that sis is awake from the coma now. So why isn't sis still out of his place yet?"
At this point, he really wanted to vanish.
"That…"
"What is it? I refuse to believe that a man like Mingshen would save my sister out of kindness. He definitely has some motive."
Lu Bojing averted his eyes while Lihua narrowed hers.
"Bojing...your silence is creeping me out."
"Well…"
Qingqing lazily stretched her body.
Good luck, human.
"Bojingggggg…"
Lu Bojing burst into tears again. "Her heart! Boss wants her heart!"
Lihua choked hard.
"*Cough cough!*"
Lihua had to drink some water to calm down. She was speechless.
"Heart? Sis's heart?"
"Yes…"
Her face twisted in an ugly expression.
"Are you saying he fell in love with my sister?"
Even her own words made her shudder hard.
So creepy! That evil doctor and in love? Is hell freezing over?
Lu Bojing widened his eyes. "Love? What love?"
"Love. As in feelings for my sister. Impossible! That man cannot fall in love! At least not with humans!"
He nodded his head in agreement. "You are right. Boss cannot fall in love."
"So what do you mean that he wants her heart?"
He blinked. "Her actual heart. The one that beats in the chest. H-He wants her heart because it matches another woman who is in a coma right now. Boss wants to transplant Song Jia's heart into her to save her."
"What!?"
Lu Bojing immediately pulled out a pillow between him and Lihua in case she gets violent.
Words weren't enough to express how furious Lihua felt. The top of her head was close to bursting out.
"Transplant? TRANSPLANT!? That is my sister you are talking about! Her heart is not for sale.. It is not some item you are exchanging with another!" Lihua was horrified. "Does that man have any limits? He cannot just pull her heart out and put into someone else as if it's some shopping carnival going on!"
