In the hospital, the paramedics seemed busy with their activities that morning. There was a young nurse who was walking, bringing a tray of food in her hands. Inside her uniform pocket, a thin stack of paper tucked in.
"Ellen! Is that for the patient in room 223?" asked a nurse who bumped into her on the way.
"Yeah!" the nurse replied.
"Did she conscious already?" asked the nurse again.
"Yes! Last night she just conscious. But the family hasn't come over to visit her again...!" said the nurse.
"Poor woman...! Her family seemed don't really care about her anymore after her coma a month ago...." the other nurse mumbled.
"Ssshh..! don't start a gossip! It's not like they don't care about her. Their relationship looks a little bit tight. I saw that young man very stern with his father....!"
"Heyy... Who starts the gossip here...?" the other nurse smiled teasingly at the nurse.
"Aish! Enough! I need to go there already!" said the nurse.
Her friend nodded. The nurse walked again to the specific room.
"Nurse Ellen! Dr. Chu asking you to meet him now...!" another nurse came up on her way after a few steps.
"Huh? Dr. Cu asked me to go to see him? I just talked to him about ten minutes ago...!" the nurse looked confused.
"I don't know! He asked me to tell this to you. Come! where do you want to send this over? I'll take it over...!" said the other nurse.
"Uhh... Ok. It's for Mdm. Hwa Lin, patient room number 223. ANd here! Help me to write down her progress...!" asked the nurse, handed over the tray and the report.
"Sure!" replied the other nurse.
"I'll be back soon!" said the nurse. She walked away, turned her direction back from where she came from.
The other nurse smirked. She glanced at the food on the tray, then she looked around. She walked to the rubbish bin nearby and threw the whole tray into it, ANd she dumped the report too. She clapped her hands, dusting off.
"Too bad... You can't enjoy your first meal after came back from hell, Hwa Lin...." she mumbled.
Then she walked off.
At the door number 223, she stopped. She looked at the door and the number. She had the latex glove wrapped her hands, then she pushed the door open. In the center of the room, on the white bed, there was a woman laid helplessly with the IV cables tangled around her body, face and head, The ECG sounded steadily, monitoring the woman's heart rate which seemed weak.
The woman in the nurse's uniform closed the door behind her, and walked further into the room confidently. She stood up next to bed, beside the woman who was lying helplessly. Another smirked arose on her face. She caressed the woman's forehead with her thumb.
"You should listen to me, Hwa Lin... Don't run from me. Listen to me to get rid of that silly boy...! But you keep ranting that he is your son. He's not your son. You only have a baby girl before you decided to work as a lady escort. YOu left that baby girl at the orphanage, went to remove your womb and never try to to look for her even a bit. Now you are ranting around that stupid is yo r son! You're so cruel, Hwa Lin! You don't want to help me, instead you help that stupid boy to destroy every bit of me...!" the nurse hissed.
Then she moved her hand to the oxygen tube on the woman's mouth.
"Wake up, Hwa Lin... It's time for you to eat your first meal....!" she said. She pulled the tube up and watched the reaction made by the patient.
A moment later, the patient's eyes shout opened widely, the she gasped for the air that she lost after the oxygen tube to help her to breathe was pulled up by the nurse.She kept gasping with the choked sound came out from her mouth. The impulse on the monitor scanned by the ECG became rapidly rated. She reached out her hands, tried to grab the nurse.
The nurse watched the patient who was struggling for her life, to get herself to breath. The nurse smirked in satisfaction when finally the patient was laid weakened on the bed. She still gasping for air. The impulse went down again in a fast pace and finally the graphic changed into the single dot and disappeared in the corner of the monitor.
"Farewell....." the nurse whispered. "Mother...."
Then she put the tube back on the patient's mouth. She kissed the patient's forehead, but then she wiped it again. After that she walked out of the room calmly. She glanced at the CCTV installed along the corridor, then she smirked. And she walked off to the other direction.

Yibo jumped out of the office room. Zhan and Xuan Lu who was working together turned their attention at him.
"Zhan, let's go to the hospital!" said Yibo, grabbed Zhan's arm.
"W-what happened?" asked Zhan, panic.
"Hwa Lin dead. Someone had disconnect her impulse...!" said Yibo, walking to the lift.
Zhan froze. He stunned on a spot, halted Yibo. Yibo turned to him.
"It's not the time for you to get panic...!"said YIbo. He pulled Zhan to walk again.
They rushed to the room where Hwa lin being treated. They found Wang Yong and Hao Xuan already there. They surrounding a.nurse who looked frightened already with the police.
"How can it be happened?" Asked Yibo once they reached the crowd.
Wang Yong turned to him. His eyes were reddened. Maybe he just cried, or his inner was crying. But he didn't answer Yibo's question.
"I don't know. I though she was a transferred nurse who just arrived in the hospital last night. I- I haven't seen the new nurses, though....!" Said the nurse who was in charge to look after Hwa Lin.
"Why don't we check the CCTV?' Asked Yibo.
"It had deleted from the system. We don't know who did it.... Maybe the culprit have the connection with the people inside the hospital....!" The police answered.
"Damn.....!" Hissed Yibo.
"Does Mdm. Wang has conscious before?" asked Zhan, voiced out.
"Yeah. She has conscious last night...!" Hao Xuan who answered.
"Then, why there is no one inform us? At least, anyone could accompany her....!" said Zhan.
"We are in Nanjing last night. We just came this morning when we've been informed about her death...!" replied Hao Xuan.
"I know. At least, if we got informed, I can attend her in the hospital...!" said Zhan.
"Are you dumb? If you are here, and this thing happens when you are accompanying her here, then you might be in the main suspect listt!" Yibo snapped.
"I just give the suggestion..." Zhan shrunk behind YIbo's back. He clung on his boyfriend's coat's sleeve.
"Zhan, you better go back to the office. You are not needed here, since you have nothing to do in this case....!" Hao Xuan suggested.
"If he go, I also go...!" Yibo interfered.
"Yibo, you are a family. And you relationship with mother got heated up everyday, even when she was still unconscious. I think police will need to ask you some questions...!" said Hao Xuan.
"So, do you suspect me now?" Yibo glared at his brother.
"I don't suspect you. But you might have the information to reveal the culprit...!" replied HAo Xuan.
"The one and only suspect here is... HEung San San....! Detective! I have reported about how Heung San San drugged her sect members with that scopolamine. And the doctor also had discovered the drug in Hwa Lin's body in a big dose. What did you do to it? Have you investigate her?" asked Yibo to the detective.
"We went to her home therapy. And there is nothing wrong with her using the scopolamine to her members. She said. it useful to make the members feel relax and focus in yoga. She gave it to them in the normal dosage, which only 0,03 mg. And there is no complaints from the members....!" said the detective.
Yibo rolled his eyes.
"I think you also drink the tea she served for you...!" hissed Yibo.
"What do you mean?" asked the detective.
"Figure it out by yourself! I'm leaving now! Let's go, Zhan!" Yibo pulled Zhan's hand.
"Mr. Wang! Wait! If you leave now, you might in the suspect list!" shouted the detective.
"Do it! You can't prove anything! I have alibi and I don't do it. For now, protecting my boyfriend who is Heung San San's main target is more important than hearing you rambling about nonsense! You have the evidence, and you still unable to solve it! Your work is bullshit!"
After that Yibo dragged Zhan to leave the scene.
"He's very sure that Heung San San is involved...!" mumbled HAo Xuan.
"I thought you are smart, A Xuan..." the voice startled him. He turned to his left side, and there was Yixuan stood by him, smirking, watching Yibo dragging Zhan around.
"Since when you're here?" asked Hao Xuan.
Yixuan turned his gaze at Hao Xuan. He smirked at HAo Xuan.
"Is that important? You never noticed me even I have befriended with your brother since high school....!" said Yixuan.
"What are you blathering about?" Hao Xuan sneered.
"Ah! Forget it! Do you have time to have a cup of tea with me?" asked Yixuan, gazed at Hao Xuan with a mischievously gaze.
Hao Xuan flinched. He glared at YIxuan. Yixuan laughed.
"Don't worry... I don't put scopolamhine into your tea. I won't make you so obedient. I like the wild and stubborn one. Hard to get one...!" Yixuan whispered into Hao Xuan ears.
Hao Xuan was taken aback. He had to compose himself before he could glared and hissed at YIxuan.
"You,~!"
Yixuan giggled. He had fun by seeing Hao Xuan who being grumpy. He looks hot when he was angry in the unknown mode.
"In case you change your mind, you know where to find me...!" Yixuan muttered beside Hao Xuan. Then he walked off.
Hao Xuan glared at him. He didn't want to see the boy, but he couldn't help to glare at where he was walking off. And unfortunate for him, at the same time Yixuan was looking back and caught him staring at his back. Yixuan winked his eyes at Hao Xuan and then bit his lower lip seductively.
Hao Xuan flinched. He quickly look away, with the cimson red crawling up on his cheeks.
"What happened with tour face? This morning is quite cold, instead...!" said Wang Yong who suddenly stood by Hao Xuan.
"Dad... We better go home...!" Hao Xuan said.
"Yeah... LEt the police come to our house if hey need to questioned us....!" replied Wang YOng.
Hao Xuan nodded. He escorted his father to leave the place. While the police kept going with the investigation about poor Hwa Linn's death, and bring her body to the lab to be examine bu the coroner.
