Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside one of the private rooms in Imperial Military Hospital, the beeping of the machine tuned in rhythm with the voices of people.

"Doctor, why won't you tell us what is wrong with my mother? Why is she not waking up?"

A middle aged man shouts as he grabs the doctors collar. His eyes turned red as he hold back the tears due to anger.

The head doctor reacted fast and pulls the man away from the other doctor.

"Sir, please calm down. I will—"

In that very same moment, the sudden sound of heels clacking silence the commotion. The family of the old lady and the two doctors turn to look at the unknown intruder.

Seeing who it is, the middle age man gulped with difficulty. He clench both his hands into tight fists as his lips press tightly together. Of all the people in the world, why does it have to be her....

"M-Miss Han.... w-why are y-you here?"

"I was informed."

Yue Ling calmly answer the man with a soft nod in greeting. She glance at the two doctors then to the hospital bed. Seeing the condition the old lady is in, she furrow her brows and her expression turned into a frown.

Without a care of the curious stares, she steadily walks over to the bed.

"How did she become like this?"

Hearing the question, the doctor standing beside the head doctor scoff and cross his arms.

"Miss Han, you may be a distinguish person in the entertainment industry, but know that this is the hospital. It is against hospital policy to give out patients privacy to outsiders."

Yue Ling arch a brow at the doctor then to the head doctor. She didn't speak her mind as she looks back to the family.

"Uncle Nuo, how did nai nai become like this?"

"We....."

Uncle Nuo lower his head and all he could answer was a shaking head. Even he doesn't know why his mother ended up like this.

When they were called from the hospital, they rushed to get here. From what he was told, his mother should have woken up earlier, but....

It's been 5 hours since then....

He looks at Yue Ling and lower his head again. How he wish it was the general standing here instead of her...

"I don't know.... they... they won't tell me..."

Yue Ling look at Uncle Nuo in silence for a long minute. From her expression, no one in the room could guess what she is thinking. Was she angry?

And just as everyone came to the decision that she is angry, the corners of her mouth curl upwards into a smile.

"It's alright, Uncle Nuo. I am here now, I will handle everything."

Uncle Nuo raise his head and he stare in disbelief at Yue Ling. His hands by his sides clench into tight fists again. However, he could only nod his head.

When he came here, he had hoped that words did not travel to her. Not because he doesn't like her, but because she has already done so much for him and his family.

How can he, the head of the Nuo family allow a young woman to solve all his problems?

The doctor watched everything unfold and he sneer in disgust. Never did he think that the famous Han Yue Ling is none other than a person from a poor family. If he were to leak the news out to the media, how will everyone think about their idol?

Thinking of the idea, his sneer turned malicious at Yue Ling. It was as if he could already see the downfall of the woman.

He clears his throat and due to Yue Ling being taller than him, he raise his chin.

"Miss Han, I think—"

"Doctor Xie."

Before the doctor could continue his words, the head doctor interrupts the man. He glares at Doctor Xie then looks back at Yue Ling. Except, when his eyes fell on the woman, there was no trace of glare or malicious thoughts like Doctor Xie. He smiles at her with respect and politeness.

"Miss Han, as the head doctor of Imperial Military Hospital, I hope that you can forgive Doctor Xie for his impoliteness."

Yue Ling's eyes moved from Uncle Nuo to the head doctor. She did not even looked at Doctor Xie because she could careless about what the man has to say.

"Doctor Dong, because I have respect for you as an elder, I will let this go. However, I do hope my questions will be answered truthfully."

She isn't the type to cause attention in public let alone in a hospital. Her decision in her choice of words are true. Although her Grandfather is the General, only a few involved with the military knows.

Doctor Xie isn't one of those few people, but Doctor Dong is and she has great respect for the old man.

Doctor Dong sighed in relief hearing Yue Ling's words. He quickly nod his head and glares at Doctor Xie.

"What are you waiting for? Go get the diagnosis report on Mrs. Nuo."

Hearing this, Doctor Xie was dumbfounded. He looks at the head doctor then to Yue Ling. Print the reports? How can he... if he does.....

No... there's no way he can allow those diagnoses to be seen, especially not the head doctor.

"Head doctor, it is against hospital rules to disclose patients privacy to non-related people. We can't—"

"I give permission!"

From the side, Uncle Nuo who had remained quiet finally spoke up. He takes a step forward and stood next to Yue Ling.

"Miss Han has my permission to look at the diagnosis papers of my mother."

Ever since he arrived here, Doctor Xie and a few other nurses have been saying his mother is fine. At first he didn't find anything strange, but the longer he stayed, he realized that something was not right. If his mother is fine, why hasn't she woken up.

His mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer and others use it to take advantage of the situation.

If anyone can get a truthful answer, it is definitely Yue Ling.

Doctor Dong glance at Uncle Nuo then to Yue Ling. He has been a doctor for thirty years and as a doctor he studied how to read people.

"Miss Han, Mr. Nuo, don't worry. As the head doctor I will look at the report and give you a truthful answer."

Finishing his words, he turns to leave the room. His mission as a doctor is to find out why the patient is still unconscious. However, the moment he turn to the door, he froze in surprise.

"M-Mr. Lu.. why are you here? Is something wrong with your brother?"

Isn't his brother fine and up at this moment? Could his diagnosis be wrong? Did something happened? Wait... how long was he standing there?

Yue Ling looks in the direction of the door and she was dumbfounded to the tip of her toes. She slowly shift her body to the side and hid herself behind Uncle Nuo.

However, who is she to Lu Tian?

Ahhh, his wife of course. Any movements of Her's never escapes his clear dark eyes.

Except, this time, he decides to play along with her. He clears his throat and enters the room like entering his courtyard while scanning the room.

"I was looking for someone."

Doctor Dong frown in confusion. Lu Tian is looking for someone? Then that means nothing is wrong with his younger brother?

He looks at the Nuo family, then to Doctor Xie. Lastly he looks at Yue Ling, despite her hiding behind Uncle Nuo, he didn't think much of it.

Looking back at Lu Tian, he smiles, "Mr. Lu, there must be a mistake. Let me call the security guards to check the cctv for the person you are looking for."

Lu Tian's eyes did not look in anyone's direction except for one person. His figure stops in the center of the room and he shook his head.

"No need, I was looking for my wife."

"....."

Both doctors along with the Nuo family were shocked speechless. Everyone in Asia knows who Lu Tian is and not once did the media mention the cold man had gotten married. Just who is the lucky woman?

Well.... more like, who is the pitiful woman to marry such an aloof man?

Standing behind Uncle Nuo, Yue Ling remained quiet. She glance around the floor and hoped a hole would magically appear so she could hide in it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up with and idea. She quickly covers her mouth and whispers to Uncle Nuo.

"Uncle Nuo, I need to step out to the ladies room."

Uncle Nuo furrow his brows at Lu Tian, but when he heard Yue Ling's words, he nod his head. It never occurred to him that the mighty man with the master supremes poker face and the savior of his family were acquaintances.

Yue Ling didn't waste another second and darted for the door with her hand cover her mouth like a mask.

Even though she has to run pass Lu Tian, the her at this moment could careless. Her coming here was something he didn't know. If he found out, who knows what kind of questions he would ask!

However, the moment her figure walked pass Lu Tian's, her arm was grabbed.

"Wife, where are you going?"

"....."

As if Articuno had descended from the sky, Yue Ling felt her entire body froze in place. She robotically turn her heard to look up at the man.

With her hand still covering her mouth, her eyes squint into a smile as she force a sarcastic laugh.

"W-wife?" She glance around the room and looks back at him, "why?"

"....."

Lu Tian's eyelid turned extremely heavy. He looks at his wife and wonder if he should take her to the surgery room and examine her brain.

His eyes narrow in thoughts and the corner of his lip slightly curl upwards. He leans towards Yue Ling and his smile widen until it reached his eyes.

"My wife, Han Yue Ling."

"...."
