AT THE HOSPITAL:
Xiao Hua came down to the Mansion to get Wu Xie. Right now keeping Wu Xie safe was most important as he was the sole heir left to the Wu Family and the Mystic Nine Families.
Xiao Hua knocked before entering.
"Wu Xie, Wu Xie, it's me Xiao Hua. I'm coming in." And he went inside.
Zhang Qiling had already left. Right now even he didn't know if it was okay to reveal their real identities to the world. After all, he had no idea, if there were others like him, Fatty and Wu Xie, who had yet to get back his memories.
Xiao Hua heard the shower running and realised why his cousin hadn't replied. He smiled to himself and then stood at the window waiting for his brother to come out.
Five minutes later, the shower stopped and he turned around to greet his cousin. Wu Xie wasn't a bit surprised.
"Hey, you're here." Wu Xie said giving his cousin a hug.
"Wu Xie, your second uncle misses you alot. He came to the hospital yesterday. I am here to take you. Get ready, we will leave as soon as you're done." And Wu Xie nodded.
"I miss him too. But right now I'm worried about my parents Xiao Hua. Although I might not show it, but I'm scared. I can't lose them." Wu Xie finally voiced his deepest worry and his cousin gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"They will be fine, you don't worry too much okay?" And Wu Xie nodded and went back to get ready.
Meanwhile At The Hospital:
Wu Xie's parents health was continuously degrading and nothing was working on them. They were both very badly injured. The driver had died trying to save Wu San Xing and Wu Xie's parents were at the back.
Wu San Xing was getting anxious minute by minute because the doctors were trying to resuscitate Wu Xie's dad who was now hanging in between life and death. It was already 20 minutes now and still nobody had come out. The pacing Wu San Xing came to stop when he heard his nephew's voice.
"Uncle," Wu Xie called out to his uncle and ran to him when he saw his uncle in tears.
Xiao Hua asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" And Wu San Xing looked in the room's direction.
"My parents, something happened to them." Wu Xie said staggering and taking a seat on the chairs. Seeing him Xiao Hua sat besides him and held Wu Xie's hand in his own.
"Wu Xie, you have to be strong okay. Uncle Aunty will be fine. Trust me." Xiao Hua tried to comfort Wu Xie, but who was he trying to fool again?
Wu Xie, even though he was naïve, he wasn't so naïve to not understand why his Third Uncle, a heartless, cold man was in tears right now. Wu Xie looked up to his uncle and then in the direction of the room just in time for the door to open.
All three rushed to the doctor who had just stepped outside.
"How is my brother? How is he? Tell me!! Say something now!!" Wu San Xing yelled at the doctor.
"I'm sorry Mr. Wu. Your brother-" The doctor stopped when he saw Erbai who had just arrived and he bowed slightly looking at him.
"Second Master Wu, I'm sorry. We tried our very best. I regret to inform that your brother has passed away. My deepest condolences." The doctor said and then left.
But even before he had finished his sentence, Wu Xie and Xiao Hua had rushed inside. Seeing his father motionless lying on the bed, Wu Xie felt a pang in his heart. He clutched his chest and his vision blurred because of the tears. The other doctors and nurses in the room left as soon as they saw Wu Xie and Xiao Hua inside.
Xiao Hua put a hand on Wu Xie's shoulder and whispered, "I'm so sorry, Wu Xie. I'm so sorry." And tears started falling down his cheeks. He wiped them and the guided Wu Xie to the bed.
Wu Xie slowly knelt besides the bed and holding his father's hand he held it against his cheek after kissing it. He wept and felt as if his world was being taken away from him.
He never particularly liked staying under the orders of his family, especially his parents, but he still loved them to the core. He felt bad for leaving home, for not listening to his parents and getting into acting.
As Wu Xie wept, he felt a strong hand on his shoulders. He slowly looked up and saw Erbai was also in tears. Wu Xie, instinctively hugged his uncle and broke down. Erbai was already in tears. He had lost his brother and even though the traitor was punished, he knew his brother wasn't coming back anymore. He held Wu Xie close to his chest and patted his head. His heart trembled with every sob that came out of Wu Xie's mouth.
Xiao Hua wiped his tears and went out to see Zhang Qiling and Fatty consoling Wu San Xing. Xiao Hua noticed that both Zhang Qiling and Fatty had a very weird expression on their faces. If it was someone else, they wouldn't notice. But this was Xie Yu Chen and nothing escaped this man's eyes. He wondered why they would feel so bad and why his uncle's death pained them so much, but considering that maybe The Wu Family is so famous, they must have felt abd, he didn't bother much and then walked to San Xing.
"Uncle, go inside. Wu Xie will need you. I will take care of everything else. I will give my uncle a call now and ask him to prepare for the funeral and stuff at home." Wu San Xing nodded and went in.
"Master Hua, is Wu Xie fine?" Fatty asked while Zhang Qiling's eyes were rooted on the door.
Xiao Hua looked at Zhang Qiling and then replied, "Of course not. His father died, how will he be fine. We're just thankful that Wu Xie wasn't in the car with them. As much as the Wu's love their son, their grandson is more like their breath. Also Erbai uncle has already punished the traitor and the one who ordered this accident. Turns out it was purely to end the Wu Family and bring them down. He fed the person the dogs. I'm afraid you won't find anything now." And that caught Zhang Qiling attention.
"I knew that, Erbai is not to be messed with. He's a dangerous man when it comes to his family's safety. Even though he's distanced himself from the Mystic Nine's matters, if it comes to his family, interfering is without a question. Let's go." Zhang Qiling said and then looked at Fatty who understood what it meant and giving him a nod, they both walked away.
Xie Yu Chen stood there looking at the retreating figures as he tried to re-register the words just now. Zhang Qiling had called his uncle by his name without any honorifics like anyone would do. But he shook his head and then went on to call his uncle.
"Xiao Ge, are you okay? I know you want to stay with Wu Xie." Fatty said after getting in the car.
As Xiao Ge's nature was, he didn't reply and just kept quiet all the way to the police station.
