Chapter 867 - Stressed
"Wait, you know how to knit?" Mian chuckled.
"Of course, this is one of my recent hobbies."
"Don't be shocked, your dad is trying different things these days which is actually really good." Sitting beside them, Ming added, "And the most impressive part is, he is so good at it."
"I am good at everything honey, whether it's knitting or impressing you," Singtan proudly stated.
"Impressing mom?" Qiang chuckled. "But you both had a flash marriage?"
Ming nodded her head and smiled, "We did have a flash marriage."
"It must have been so much fun. I mean, falling in love after getting married," Mian exclaimed.
"Exactly, usually most of the fluffy and sweet moments happen when two people are dating. After you get married, things are exciting but it's nothing like the initial feelings," Qiang explained.
Clearing his throat, Singtan declared, "Kids, let me make myself clear here. I was in love with your mom even before we met. So she was the one who fell in love with me after we got married and not me."
"Wait, I remember dad telling me this. You both were in the same college but mom never noticed you," Mian chuckled.
"Yes, it's her fault for not noticing such a handsome man," he scoffed.
"Well maybe she didn't because there were many handsome men around her, right mom?" Sitting beside Ming, Yushen grinned, "I saw your picture when you were in college and damn mom, you were so beautiful."
"Are you trying to say that my isn't beautiful anymore?" Singtan frowned.
"What? When did I say that?"
"You just did," he snapped.
Looking at Ming, Yushen complained, "Mom, dad is again bullying me."
Helplessly shaking her head, Qiang sighed, "There you go again, I am not in a mood to deal with this father and son drama again." Getting up, she added, "You guys continue with the bickering and I will go upstairs for a nap."
"Watch the stairs sweetheart, be slow," Singtan instructed.
…..
"What? When did this happen?" Zian inquired.
"I have no idea, my men found him not too far away from the base which I think is too obvious to be a coincidence," Andrew stated.
Scrunching his brows, Zixin said, "This means Pulos really wanted to tip you about Lawrence's plan."
"And maybe Lawrence found out about it and killed him?" Huang remarked.
"He is not dead." Looking at Andrew, Michael explained, "Though he has lost a lot of blood, he is still alive. He has been rushed to the hospital, we should also leave."
"You both should leave first and handle the situation there. If Pulos is really alive then Lawrence will surely try to get him," Zian stated.
"Only if he finds out he is still alive." Without waiting for their reply, Zixin further explained, "We have to hide Pulos from Lawrence. This is the only way we can keep him safe."
"Zixin is right, Pulos is the only way we can deal with Lawrence. He is very important."
Thinking for a while, Zian instructed, "Michael and Andrew, go to the hospital and handle things there. We will handle other things."
"Alright, we will leave now."
After Andrew and Michael left, Zixin slumped on the couch." It's all my fault."
"Dude, what are you talking about?" Huang frowned.
"If not for me, you all wouldn't get into this mess. I mean, it was a fight between Lawrence and me, how did all my friends get into this?" Pinching the bridge of his nose, Zixin added, "I shouldn't have let you guys get into this."
"Hey, don't say that. We all are friends and if friends don't stick together then who will?" Sitting beside him, Huang added, "We got this, okay?"
"Huang is right, let's finish this together for once and for all."
...
One week later.
Andrew and Linyang's place.
"You look so stressed these days. Is everything okay?" When he nodded his head, Linyang sighed, "Come on now, don't give me that formal nod."
Pulling her into his l.a.p, Andrew explained, "It's about Pulos."
"You are worried about him?"
"Yes, I am and not just because he is the main source of information right now but—" Pausing for a while, he explained, "Though he has done many wrong things, I am still very grateful to him. When nobody was there by my side, he was present. When I had no idea how Jennifer and I would survive with our parents gone, he was there to guide and take care of us. And if not for him, maybe I would be long dead and so would Jenni."
Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "So even if I want to hate him, I really can't. For me, he is the man who saved my sister's life and mine too and for that, I'll always have a soft corner for him in my heart."
Cupping his cheeks, she smiled, "This is why I love you. You are so clear and sorted with your thoughts."
"You don't think I am weird?"
"Of course not. Maybe you are a little weird but that's okay because everyone's a little weird in one way or the other. What is life without a little weirdness, right?"
Andrew was about it to say something when his phone started buzzing. Glancing at the caller ID, he quickly received the call.
"Hmm, I'll be right there." After hanging up the call, he told Linyang. "Pulos woke up."
After Pulos was found and rushed to the hospital by Andrew and his men, he had been unconscious since then. Though the doctors had managed to stop the blood, he had already lost too much of it. In fact, the doctor even told them that there was a fifty-fifty chance of him waking up.
Hospital.
When Andrew arrived at the hospital, everyone was already present.
Looking at Guang who was standing with Ashton, he frowned, "What are you doing here?"
"Seriously, why is everyone asking me the same question? Am I not supposed to be here?" Guang snapped. He was with Yinhai and Ashton when they received the news about Pulos from Zixin so without wasting any time, they rushed to the hospital.
