216 Tell me what happened?

Fu Yu Sheng's eyes opened with a snap but he closed them back under the blinding lights that nearly caused him to wince in pain, he didn't know what had happened, all he knew was that he was lying on a less than comfortable bed with the smell of disinfectant clogging his nostrils.

He tried his best to ignore the discomfort in his body that was almost making him groan, Fu Yu Sheng felt quite similar to a juice box that has been squeezed out to its last drop and honest to God, he did not like the feeling, not even the slightest bit. This brought him back to think why exactly he was feeling like this, why every pore was screaming in nothing but agony calling him to eat something good before they passed out again.

While he was pondering over the reason for his less than happy mood of his, memories from this afternoon started to slowly sweep down his mind. Fang Yanli asking him to come with her, being pushed by an invisible force and finally the less than humanly figure of his wife, this time his thick brows furrowed and Fu Yu Sheng opened his eyes despite the blinding white light that was crashing against his face like a mortal enemy.

His pair of obsidian eyes looked around before they landed on a slim figure dressed in the nurse uniform that was bustling around the room, it was only then did he realise that he was in a hospital and a local one at that. Because no way the hospital owned by the Fu family will smell this bad and that uniform was just as bad, his eyes lingered on the figure that was cleaning the room and the young girl looked up before immediately straightening up in a hurry, " Umm, you are up sir? Please wait a moment I will call the lady who came with you."

Fu Yu Sheng nodded as he let his head drop with a plop,  the nurse said that it was a lady who brought him to the hospital, then certainly it has to be Song Yan should it not be? It should be the case or else he wouldn't be able to take any more shocks at his age, he was already in his thirties at this age he should be enjoying a peaceful life with his wife and here he was chasing after her like a teen and getting several minor and major shocks in between.

The door to the hospital ward opened and came in Song Yan,  Fu Yu  Sheng did a small mental examination of his wife and found out that she looked fine without a strand of hair out of place but she did look rather pale. Other than that she was fine and that eased the cord of tension that has tightened itself around his lungs almost choking the life out of him, fortunately, she was okay or else he didn't know what he would have done.

He did know that his relationship with Song Yan was purely based on her urge to escape from the Song household which seemed to have been contaminated by the arrival of a half-sister and a stepmother, knew that she chased him all because she wanted a backing that was powerful enough to take the Song family down when things were spiralling out of control ever since changes started to appear in Father Song's attitude but at the same time, she was his wife of eight years and even if it couldn't be called love, he was used to her being by his side.

She walked towards the hospital bed with a graceful grate, her palm-size face framed with the soft curls that loosely hung on her shoulders. " Are you feeling okay?" She asked as she came to a stop beside his bed after crossing the room.

" I feel fine just drained," Fu Yu Sheng was never the one to hide anything when it came to his discomfort, he was picky like that, call him a brat but he would hardly accept anything that was far less than perfect. " And the bed is kind off too hard, why didn't you bring me to the hospital that's owned by us?"

Song Yan tucked the curls that were framing her face behind her ear as she sat down on the stool next to his bed. " I thought it was obvious, if I would have taken you to the hospital owned by the Fu family, it would have sent everyone at high alert, especially grandpa who would have come out of his recuperation and rushed to see you all because you just feel a bit drained and nothing more." She tried to lighten the situation with humour but Fu Yu Sheng wasn't fooled he could feel that something was wrong with her and that something was not just 'little' wrong it was terribly wrong.

" What happened Yan'er?" He asked trying to keep his voice as soft and understanding for her as he could. " Why are you upset?"

She bit her lip and raised her head, her dark eyes that always shone with a mysterious light had gone dim and he didn't like that it was as if she was tired of everything, even life itself. " Aren't you going to ask me what happened to me?"

" Do you wish to tell me?" was all Fu Yu Sheng said and when he didn't receive a response he knew that she didn't wish to talk about it, so he didn't pry into the matter either. He knew that even if they were husband and wife, the two had certain boundaries between themselves and they weren't going to take it anytime soon, so instead of trying to poke around in his wife's business when she didn't want to it was better to keep his hands to areas where he can step into. " If you do not wish to tell me, I will not ask but in case you want to talk about it, I will listen to it which brings me back to the same question that I wanted to ask what caused it?"

Song Yan sucked in a breath as if she was preparing herself for something before she said, " I found out that my father has been replaced."
