Articuno spread it's feathery silk wings widely inside one of the private rooms in Imperial Military Hospital. A quiet howling blizzard freezes everyone standing inside the room until they turned solid. No one dare to make a move or utter a sound. It wasn't because they were afraid, Lu Tian's sudden words was too much for them to handle.

Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Yue Ling retrieve her hand from covering her mouth. Raising it a little higher, she pinch the space between her brows.

"Tian, can you not be so open minded. I am—"

Quickly catching herself in her own mistake, she quickly overs her mouth again. She curse at herself inside for allowing her useless disguise to be uncovered.

She slowly shrunk into her shell like a turtle and without turning her head to face the man, she glance at him with her eyes.

"....."

Lu Tian stare indifferently at his wife while trying to maintain the wanting urge to laugh. He slightly part his lips to speak, however....

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean? I... am I hearing this correctly?"

Doctor Xie stumble to keep himself steadied. He could not believe what he had just heard. What will he tell his darling daughter? He knows how much she is in love with Lu Tian.

No! This must be a mistake. There is no possible way that Lu Tian is married. The cold blooded man must have spoken mistakenly.

He takes a deep breath to calm his mind. When he felt his heart rate drop back to normal, he glares at Yue Ling then politely to Lu Tian.

"Mr. Lu, there must be a mistake. Let me walk you out and help you find the person you are actually looking for."

Doctor Xie smiles at Lu Tian with a proud tone in his words. If he can make Lu Tian become his son-in-law, there won't be anyone in the world who would look down on him. How he could already see everything fall into place.

"No need."

Lu Tian's deep voice quickly resounded in response. The coldness in his tone could also be heard as his expression dimmed ten shades darker at the so call doctor.

The him at this moment wants to gorge Doctor Xie's eyes out. He will not be kind to anyone who dares to look at his wife with such disgusting eyes. Did Doctor Xie think he didn't see the glare that was thrown to his wife?

"I already found my wife."

Lu Tian's words fell as he loosen his hand around Yue Ling's arm. He quickly grabs her hand and interlock his fingers to fill in the gaps between her's. He also made sure to emphasize the word 'wife' in a stern and cold tone.

"...."

Doctor Xie was rendered speechless. All the colors in his face drained of color. Those words... There's no possible way he had heard wrong.

Standing next to Lu Tian, Yue Ling sighed inside at self pity. How could she have forgotten that Lu Tian is a blockhead full of words when he wants to speak.

Sighing again, she out her hand covering her mouth down. The her at this moment has to obligation to hide from this man.

Ignoring him, she looks to Doctor Dong, "Head Doctor, I hope you will fulfill your words and give me an explanation."

Still dumbfounded, the old man was brought back to reality by Yue Ling's words. His eyes and head shift back and forth from Yue Ling to Lu Tian. Thinking of something, he smiles inside and nod his head.

"Don't worry Miss Han, I will get to the bottom of this. I will have an explanation ready once I've gone over the diagnose report."

"Thank you, head doctor."

"Nooo—!!!!"

An angry and distraught roar escapes from Doctor Xie. His hand stretch out and he stops Doctor Dong from further advancing. On his forehead were beads of sweat forming out of his fear. He had been so worked up about Lu Tian's words, he had forgotten about the real problem here.

"Doctor Xie, as a doctor, it is our duty to find what is wrong with our patients. Be it small or big, we need to make sure our patient's family knows what is going on. As the head doctor, are you going to defy my orders?"

"No...."

Doctor Xie was left with no other choice. His head lower and he hid his expression from view. He didn't hide because he was embarrassed or scared, he did so to hide the anger rising in his boiling blood.

Looking at Doctor Xie, the head doctor lightly shook his head. He turn to look at Yue Ling and Uncle Nuo and he smiles to her with respect and politeness.

"Miss Han, Mr. Nuo, I will check the diagnose report and get back to you afterwards."

He didn't bother about Doctor Xie anymore and walks out of the room.

"Wait!!"

Before Doctor Dong could take a step out of the room, Doctor Xie quickly runs after the old man and stops him.

"As the doctor who diagnosed Mrs. Nuo, let me handle this."

Doctor Dong looked at Doctor Xie and he ponder in thought over the words. Thinking that is a reasonable reason, he looks at Yue Ling.

"What does Miss Han think about this?"

Yue Ling tilt her head a little to the right and her eyes stare with no emotion at the man. From just one look, she could already tell that the man was up to no good. However, would she allow the man to get what he wants? Of course not.

She shrug her shoulders, "As long as I can get a truthful answer, I am fine with Doctor Xie looking into this matter."

Hearing this Lu Tian furrow his brows, he steals a quick glance at his wife then to Doctor Xie. He thought of something, but decided to stay quiet and not say anything. Knowing his wife, he knows that she must already have a plan in mind.

Doctor Xie sneer inside and he quickly leaves the room. He didn't care if he was being rude as a doctor to leave without saying a word. The him at this moment has only one thing on his mind and that is destroy everything about Mrs. Nuo's diagnose report.

Standing quietly at the side, Uncle Nuo looks at Yue Ling and Lu Tian. For some reason, he couldn't help but be reminded of the two people who used to always stood up for him. The two people who always helped him when he needed a hand.

It is just like the old saying, a child will always hold similarities to his or her parents.

Lu Tian notice the way Uncle Nuo was giving Yue Ling, he glance at his wife and pout his lip.

He sighed and shamelessly kiss her on the temple without a care of the people still in the room.

"Take your time here, I need to discuss something with Doctor Dong."

Without waiting for a response, he ignores his wife shocked expression and leaves out the room.

Doctor Dong was even more dumbfounded. He has taken care of Lu Tian like his own son and never once has his old eyes see the young man act this way towards anyone. Even Madam Lu wasn't treated this way!

Shaking his head, he smiles with an idea in thought and follows after Lu Tian.

Left alone in the room, Uncle Nuo takes a deep breath and he sits down on the chair next to the hospital bed. He holds his mother's hand and his eyes turned red.

From the other side of the bed, Madam Nuo could feel her husband's pain. If they had gone to work at the food stall, none of this would have happened. She looks up at Yue Ling and spoke.

"Miss Han, do you think that doctor did something to my mother? Is that why she hasn't woken up?"

Yue Ling who was left shocked by her 'husband' was brought back to her senses. She looks at the husband and wife duo, then to their daughter who was quietly standing next to her mother. She was the girl at that time who was with Mrs. Nuo.

Her mind drifted to the incident of that night. If she had not asked to go eat out, would things have turned different? Could it be her fault that Mrs. Nuo , who is like a grandmother to her ended up this way?

No...

If she never went that night, she would never know the situation the Nuo family is currently in.

Taking a deep breath, she shift her line of sight to grandmother Nuo. The old lady had aged so much in just a few days.

"Uncle Nuo, Aunty Nuo, Don't worry. I wont let anything happen to her. As long as I am still standing here, I will be your Nuo family's support."

Like her words stabbed him in the chest, Uncle Nuo lower his head as a tear dropped on the back his hand holding his mother's hand. His voice turned hoarse as he utter his words with difficulty.

"Thank you, Yue Ling. Thank you so much..."
