<h4>758 Intertwined Fates</h4>


    Nora turned her head and looked at Dn who asked this question. She nodded in reply. Dn took a seat beside her and asked, "Why is she sighing so much?"


    Nora shrugged her shoulders, "I don''t know. Since the time she came out of the room she''s been sighing here like this."


    "Why? Is everything alright with Dazi and Xiu?" He was suddenly anxious again. "But I heard they woke up and they''re doing better than expected."


    "Keep your voice down," said Nora. "I also heard both of them are fine. As for why she''s sighing is something only she can tell."


    Dn finally eased up a little and slumped down in his seat.


    "Whichwyer are you getting for your sister?" asked Nora and Dn''s brows moved. "I mean you''ll need someone to defend her in court. Although, it''d be quite pointless."


    "Do you really have to ask me that right now?" questioned Dn.


    "Never mind..."


    Soon, a maid brought a cup of coffee for Nora which she had asked for earlier. "Do you need anything else, ma''am?"


    Nora shook her head and looked at the snacks that she brought along with coffee, "You brought more than enough. Just bring something for these two."


    The maid inquired both Dn and Dr. Ling if they needed anything before leaving them alone.


    "Are you on night watch?" Dn asked Nora.


    "Everyone is on night watch," replied Nora. "People seem to have forgotten how to sleep around here. You''ll see someoneing to check up every hour."


    "How''s Francesca? Is she still sleeping?"


    "Gave her some sleeping pills and forced her to sleep."


    On their side, Dr. Ling broke out of her daydreaming because of their voices. She looked at them intently. Or more like, she was looking at Dn.


    "You''re Qiu Meihui''s brother, right?" she suddenly asked making both Dn and Nora turn their attention to her. "Qiu Hedi, if I''m not wrong?"


    "You know my sister?"


    Dr. Ling made aplicated face, "High school ssmate..."


    "Oh," was all Dn said and didn''t continue.


    She hesitated for a long time before finally voicing out, "I''m really sorry for asking this. Really sorry. I know I shouldn''t be talking about it. But I really need confirmation right now."


    "Please, go ahead," said Dn.


    Before she could ask, Nora helped her out, "Doctor here wants to know whether your sister is really in jail or not."


    Dr. Ling gaped at Nora''s face while Dn answered it for her, "If that''s what you want to know then there is no need for confirmation. She is in the detention center for now."


    "Why?" was all that came out of Dr. Ling''s mouth.


    "The patient you''re here for... My sister is the reason he is in so much pain. She is the culprit behind his condition." Dn''s jaw was clenched as he said all this.


    "Doctor, can we really not meet them?" Nora had been waiting here to get a single nce of both Xiu and Darren but didn''t manage to. "I promise, I''ll just see them and won''t even talk."


    Dr. Ling shrugged, "Actually, I don''t mind you seeing them. But I''d suggest you not to go inside right now."


    "Why?"


    "That pair of husband and wife were having a silent date inside. That''s why I came out," answered Dr. Ling honestly. "I felt like I was intruding into something very important and felt ufortable."


    Both Nora and Dn shared a look and both of them chuckled. This must be their first timeughing since all of this began. But they couldn''t help it.


    "Now, I can be rest assured that they are absolutely fine," said Nora while shaking her head. "Even in this situation, they certainly know how to express their love."


    "Somethings really don''t change, eh?" was what Dn said. He looked at Nora and continued, "But isn''t it strange that you and I don''t even feel surprised anymore?"


    "What''s there to be surprised about?" Nora sighed. "We''ve seen it from the very beginning. It''s always been like this."


    Dn nodded his head, "It''s always been like this. It''s like there no space for a third person between them. It makes me feel a little bad for their unborn child. What will happen to that poor kid with parents like them?"


    Nora''s lips curved up slightly, "I still can''t believe that they are having a baby." She took a pause before adding, "But you''re right, their baby might have to fight for attention. Because both his parents'' only have each other in their eyes."


    "I''m actually looking forward to it," said Dn.


    "Me too," added Nora.


    "You both seem pretty close to the patients," spoke Dr. Ling. She didn''t want to intrude but she was feeling bored sitting silently. "What''s your rtionship with them?"


    "We are from the best friends'' department," answered Nora.


    "Huh?"


    "Don''t be so surprised, you have already seen pretty much everything. We have fathers department, mothers department, brothers department, and we just happen to be from best friends department."


    "Do you have to say it like that?" questioned Dn. "What happened to your sense of humor?"


    "Something was bound to wilt with how much blood''s been shedst night. I guess it''s my sense of humor that took the deadly hit." She looked back at Dr. Ling and continued, "He is Darren''s best friend and I''m Xiu''s best friend."


    Dr. Ling nodded in understanding, "They both are really loved around here. Everyone is concerned about them. Even though I mostly spend time in the hospital saving lives, this kind of scene is still rare."


    "Oh, that must be because this is a very special family," said Nora. "The fates of everyone in this house are intertwined in such a way that we can only call itplicated. And yet, theseplicated rtionships are mere a twist of fate."
