Safe hands

"Woah, what the hell is wrong with you today?" Huang asked.

"Exactly and what did we do? We are just sitting here like good boys and listening to your problems," Zixin complained, who actually felt very wrongly accused.

Gritting her teeth, Linyang snapped, "Shut up, you are men and that is my problem."

Startled by her sudden outburst, Huang and Zixin decided to stay shut rather than facing Linyang's wrath.

"Woah my sister seems to be in a very bad mood today." Walking towards her, Liang placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, "What is it pumpkin?"

Slapping his hand away, she shouted, "You also fall under that category." Pointing towards Huang and Zixin, she added, "Go sit with them."

Gulping in nervousness, Liang rushed towards his friend's and sat down with them.

"Dude, what is up with her today? She has been like this for a couple of hours now." Zixin whispered.

"Forget about her, maybe her period is around the corner so she is being cranky." Pausing for a while, he asked, "Do you know where Kathy is?"

"Kathy? Hmm I really don't know, the last time I had a talk with her was a couple of days back to discuss something about the office."

"Oh, so you don't know where she is right now?"

"Today is Thursday right, hmm that is strange because she usually flies back only during weekends," Pausing for a while, Zixin added, "I'll call her."

"Hmm I did but she isn't receiving the call." Liang had been trying to call Kathy since morning but she seemed to be lost and nowhere to be seen which was bugging him alot. He wanted to call and ask Zixin about her since morning but he didn't want to sound desperate.

"Strange, maybe she is sick again," Zixin assumed.

Liang frowned and asked, "Sick?"

"Ahh she completely hides herself from everyone when she is sick because she hates seeing a doctor. Anyway, I'll ask someone to visit her and—"

Cutting him off, Liang said, "Why don't you give me her exact address so that I can check on her?" He knew which areas and complex she stayed in but he had no idea which apartment number she resided in.

Giving him a weird look, Zixin slowly nodded his head before sending him the address.

"Thanks man," grabbing his blazer, he rushed out of the room before flicking his sister's forehead, "Stop grumbling like a granny."

….

Uranus complex.

Apartment no:75

When Kathy finally opened the door, Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at him, she frowned, "Liang? What are you doing here?"

"I wouldn't have been here if you had received my calls." Touching his forehead, he frowned, "Damn?it Kathy, you are burning."

Walking inside the apartment, she said, "I am fine, come in and lock the door please."

Storming in the apartment, he caught her hand and frowned deeper, "Your skin is burning and yet you have the cheek to say that you are okay? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I am—"

"Go grab a coat because we are going to the hospital and who the hell hides like this when they are sick?" He snapped.

"I wasn't hiding, I was just—" she stopped midway when she started feeling dizzy.

Scooping her into his arms, he started lecturing her, "You can't even stand properly yet you are staying that you can okay. Even a five year old can say that you are not."

Hooking her arms around his neck, she buried her head on his neck and groaned, "Stop scolding me, I am sick."

"Oh so now you are sick?" Helplessly shaking his head, he started walking towards her room.

….

Inside the bedroom.

Carefully placing her on the bed, he started looking for some fever medicines. "Where is the medicine?"

"I ran out of meds and didn't feel like leaving the house."

"Are you insane? You haven't taken any meds yet? Are you serious?" He snapped again.

"Hmmm,"

Squatting down, he adjusted her pillow and touched her forehead again, "I'll go get meds for you but if the fever doesn't go down in a couple of hours, you have to go to the hospital with me."

Grabbing his hand, Kathy frowned, "No don't go, stay with me please."

Kissing her knuckles, he caressed her cheeks and said, "I'll be back soon okay? Just stay here. I'll just grab some medicines and something for you to eat."

"Hmm, come back soon,"

"Where are your keys?" Liang asked.

"It's on the table outside,"

"I'll be back soon."

Grabbing the keys from the table, he left the apartment.

…..

Li Mansion.

"What are you worried about?"

Singtan sighed and helplessly shook his head, "I am worried about our little girl."

"Who? You call both our daughters little girls." Ming asked.

"Yumi is sensible and knows how to take care of herself but Qiang is still small and silly."

Tapping on his chest, she asked, "What makes you feel that Qiang is still small?"

"She is small, have you not seen the way she does things? It's still so silly and cute."

"Okay, if Qiang is small and Yushen is small too," Ming added.

Singtan frowned and vigorously shook his head, "No he is not, Yushen is a big man now."

"Yushen and Qiang are twins."

"I don't know about that."

Glaring at him, Ming snapped, "So Yushen is not a little boy anymore but Qiang is still a little girl? How doesn't that make any sense to you and how is that even fair? Will you ever stop differentiating between your kids?"

"What? When did I differentiate?"

"You were worried about Yumi like the way you are worried about Qiang right now when she started working but you were not even thinking about Zian and the same with Yushen." She retorted.

Hugging her tightly, he pouted his lips, "Don't be mad honey, you know how delicate and fragile our daughters are right? Yumi found the right partner for herself and now she is in safe hands. I want Qiang to be in safe hands."

"She is already on safe hands."

Singtan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
