Chapter 2 Help Me


    The first thing that Heidy noticed was the pungent smell of medicine. For some reason, no matter how


    she tried, her eyes wouldn''t open, and all her limbs were lifeless objects beside her.


    Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching her. "What''s happening? Is that normal?"


    When she heard the voice, tears welled up in Heidy''s eyes. The voice belonged to her husband, Jack.


    They had been married for only two years before he decided to cheat on her with her sister, Sherry. ''My


    husband...cheated on me with my sister...'' The more Heidy thought about it, the more tears rolled down


    her cheeks.


    "She''s just crying. It looks like she can hear us," Sherry said indifferently. "Pretty sister, I hope you can


    hear me right now. It''s a pity that you can''te to our wedding. You''ll be lying there in bed forever I''m


    afraid."


    Jack Xu stood beside Heidy''s bed, looking at her pale but delicate face. A hint of pity shed through


    his eyes, but was soon reced again by a certain detachment. "Let''s go," Jack said coldly as he


    turned around to leave.


    Sherry Hua bent over and whispered in Heidy''s ear. "Good bye, pretty sister." With that, Sherry left with


    a triumphant smile.


    The entire room was filled with a deafening silence. It was as if her body was a puppet without a


    master. Heidy''s chest ached painfully in her chest. Just then, another pair of footsteps came in. "Mr. Xu


    is so cruel for leaving Mrs. Xu in a vegetative state," one nurse said as she checked Heidy''s vitals.


    "I''m not at all surprised. A lot of people would die for money. Besides, who wouldn''t want all the


    properties of the Hua family? She will sleep forever after three more injections are given to her," the


    doctor said in a low voice. "Let''s go. The next injection will be given after half an hour." The doctor and


    the nurse left the room.


    Hearing their conversation, Heidy felt herself swelling with anger and hatred. She never imagined that


    Jack would not only sleep with Sherry, but also try to seize her family''s properties as well. ''No. I can''t let


    this happen!'' Heidy screamed in her head. ''I cannot let them have their way!''


    With all her might, she tried to open her eyes. If she didn''t act now, there was no way she was going to


    get out of this situation. After a great amount of effort, Heidy slowly opened her eyes. Staring at the


    white ceiling, she couldn''t help but get nervous. ''What now?''


    Without another second thought, Heidy tried to move sideways, only to find that her limbs were too


    weak to move. Heidy bit down on her lips until the metallic taste of blood spread to her mouth. The pain


    was enough to clear her head a bit. Eventually, Heidy managed to get out of the bed and walk out of


    the ward. She had not yet regained her full strength, and she stumbled and fell a couple of times.

    Carefully, she checked if there were any other people around. With her head down, she then walked


    towards the elevator at the end of the hall. Just when she reached the elevator, an anxious voice called


    from behind her. "Mrs. Xu!" the doctor cried.


    Thinking quickly, Heidy entered the elevator and pressed on a number, the door closing just in time.


    Cold sweat dripped down from her forehead to her neck. She had been exposed. Soon enough, Jack


    woulde for her again. When she thought of this, panic filled Heidy''s eyes. ''I have some time left to


    save myself...'' she reassured herself.


    The elevator door opened. After taking a few steps, she nced around at her surroundings. There,


    she saw Jack at a distance. He was walking inside the inpatient department. ''What am I going to do


    now?'' Heidy was scared that she would be caught again.


    Suddenly, as she saw a man walking towards her direction. Leaving her with no other choice, Heidy


    threw herself into the man''s arms. "Sir, please help me. Please.. I.." Her voice trembled with fear as her


    hands clutched on his suit like it was her only lifeline.


    The man, Hearst Tan, frowned at Heidy. Just when he was about to pull her hand away, he caught a


    glimpse of her face. The expression on his face suddenly changed. Turning his head, Hearst Tan saw


    Jack walking towards them. He looked back at Heidy and then opened his suit jacket to wrap her up.


    "Don''t be afraid. I''ve got you," Hearst Tan said and held Heidy in his arms when Jack stared at them.


    Hearst''s faint scent and soft tone made Heidy feel a bit more rxed. Jack didn''t know the woman


    there was Heidy and walked away. Knowing that Jack had gone, Heidy stood up straight and sniffed.


    "Thank you, sir," she said gratefully. She was about to head out the door when Hearst suddenly


    grabbed her hand. ''What''s going on?'' Heidy turned around and looked at the man.


    "Come with me," Hearst said in an emotionless voice.
