"Please. Can you explain to me what happened?"

"Your father was kidnapped along with Mo Che. Upon attempting to flee his captors, he fell from an airplane which was taking off." A sigh of relief emerged from Yu Qiao as he learned the news that his father had not done something while drunk.

Yu Qiao continued to listen to the doctor to explain. 'Fell from the plane…' How high is it for his father to be in a coma?

Who are the people responsible for his father's fall? Why would they do that?!

He continued to listen, his body shook from anger. Yu Qiao does not know that his hands are clenched tightly, when he felt that someone reached for his clenched fists as a show of support.

Beside him is Mo Lihua, her eyes are still red and puffy from crying, but she is there offering comfort.

Yu Qiao unable to resist, he reached for her and hugged her tightly; greedy for any consolation Mo Lihua is willing to give.

He does not want to cry, but his eyes burned just by hearing that his closest relative is in that kind of situation.

"He was unfortunately inebriated at the time of the fall so we are not entirely certain what happened." the doctor confessed.

"Thank you for all you have done for him. What steps do we take now?" Yu Qiao asked slowly.

"We wait. Hopefully, the authorities will find CEO Mo Che and fill in the remaining pieces of the puzzle."

Mo Che! That is right!

He is not the only one that needed comfort. That is probably why Mo Lihua also looked devastated. If the people who took her father do not mind pushing a man out of a moving plane, nothing is stopping them from doing the worse to his godfather.

Yu Qiao hugged Mo Lihua tightly, and the doctor left them alone.

"Everything is going to be alright." He whispered against her hair.

Her face is buried on his c.h.e.s.t, and Yu Qiao felt Mo Lihua nodded slightly. She lifted her face to look at him, he found that her eyes are red, tears continued to run down on her cheek.

"Stop crying. It's dangerous to cry with contact lenses on." Yu Qiao teased as he wiped her tears using his hands.

"That's a myth." She replied sniffing. "I am fine. Be careful with your IV."

Yu Qiao smiled sadly, "I was with them. Those people only want the old guys." He casually said as he looked back to his father inside the ICU.

"Uncle Han is strong. He can survive this."

Yu Qiao nodded in agreement. His father may be a drunkard, but he is a fighter.

They stayed for some more before Mo Lihua assisted Yu Qiao back to his hospital room. He supposedly needed to stay in the hospital for another day.

"Brother Qiao, are you going to be fine by yourself?" Mo Lihua asked softly.

"Yes." Yu Qiao preferred to be alone than be a burden to anyone. He can move after all, and in case he needed anything else, the button to call the nurse is just within reach.

It is not that he does not want to be around Mo Lihua, but she is the only one he can trust to check on the police. She needed to look for Mo Che as well.

"How about this, I will send Rita here. Please?" Mo Lihua pleaded. She is not confident to leave him alone. If it's Rita, she won't be entirely defenseless in case someone attacked him.

Yu Qiao shook his head in refusal. He does not appreciate the idea of being assisted. If he needed one, one of the help from the Yu family would be sufficient.

"Please? I am more assured if it's Rita." Mo Lihua insisted almost sounding desperate.

With the tone of voice, Yu Qiao can only reluctantly agree. "What about you?" He asked suddenly. What if those people are also after her?

"Don't worry, my cousin and Angelo will be with me."

With confusion, he asked, "You have a cousin?"

"Yeah. The one who answered the phone the other day." Mo Lihua explained as she gently pushed his c.h.e.s.t so he can lay back on the bed. "Rest now. Do not do anything unnecessary. You need to get better soon. Do not try to fight or complain to the doctors as well. Rita will be instructed to report everything to me, and you will get an earful if you misbehave. Understood?" She said sternly while she looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Yu Qiao cannot help but chuckle, "Roger ma'am."

"I am serious." She glared, clearly displeased.

"Aha. I am serious too." Yu Qiao assured before laughing and subconsciously blurted out, "Man, you will be a terror wife in the future."
