Tianye paid no attention to the enthusiastic young nurse and showed no expression at the director’s outburst. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and coldly looked at the director. “Within three days, I must see her stand up; otherwise, I’ll blow up this hospital.”
The director took a deep breath and frowned momentarily. “Young master, we… we will definitely do our best,” he said before gently leaving the corridor.
Tianye came to Meiyou’s hospital room but didn’t go in. He stood outside, looking through the door window at the girl lying unconscious.
Tianye stood motionless, looking inside, his fierce eyes softening. Unconsciously, he rested his hand on the window, staring inside, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Tianye was five, he passed by the back garden gate of the villa. Suddenly, he heard crying, intermittent and soft. Tianye stopped, recognizing it as a little girl’s cry.
He had never seen any children or playmates in this courtyard. Curious about the crying, he ran inside. Passing through the garden corridor, he saw a little girl about his age sitting on the steps by the rockery, head down and crying.
Two guards were grabbing the girl’s arm, trying to make her leave. “Go out. Stop crying. Get out.” Their large hands gripped her arm, causing her pain.
“Let her go!” Tianye shouted from behind them, then kicked the guard holding the girl’s arm, surprisingly strong for his age. The guard stumbled back several steps.
“Young master, she… she’s a servant’s child. She’s not qualified to play here,” the guards quickly explained, lowering their heads.
“Get lost,” Tianye coldly dismissed the two large guards without even looking at them.
Tianye crouched down, looking at the girl still crying. “Why are you crying? Can’t you stop?”
The girl, hearing his childlike voice, looked up at Tianye. “My kite fell on the rockery. They said they would tear it and throw it in the water,” she continued crying.
Tianye stood up, looked at the rockery’s top, and walked over. Despite his young age, he was surprisingly agile. He climbed the dozen-meter high rocky wall in a few steps and retrieved the kite.
Tianye walked to the girl, “Here,” extending his hand to give her the kite.
