Hereditary

"I follow you to the washroom because you are clumsy and there is a very high chance of you slipping and breaking your bones," Singtan defended his shameless actions.

Raising her brows at him, Ming snapped, "Oh shut it, you have that bathroom PVC mat installed in the entire bathroom floor, even an one year old wouldn't manage to slip there no matter how much he wanted to."

"How can you blindly trust those things? Babe, you know I have trust issues with non-living things and a few living creatures as well," he frowned.

Poking his chest with her finger, she gritted her teeth. "My son has inherited all your shameless and weird habits but I am so glad that my two daughters and my other son are far away from all of this." Without waiting for his reply, she started walking towards her room.

"Honey, wait–" Singtan shouted before rushing after her.

Wrapping his arms around Mian's shoulder, Zian grinned, "Did you hear that? It's hereditary so stop complaining and let me accompany you everywhere."

Hospital

"Please sir, get your wound treated first," the nurse requested.

"N—No I am alright, how is my wife? Is she okay?" Nathan panicstrikenly asked.

"The doctor will inform us soon so please, calm down and get your wound treated too."

"What is going on here?" Mian asked who had just arrived along with Zian.

"Dr Zhang he—"

Cutting the nurse off, Nathan rushed towards them. "Are you Dr Zhang? My wife, s-she is sixteen weeks pregnant. We had an accident and they have taken her to the emergency room—"

"Please calm down, let me go and have a look first." Mian consoled Nathan before turning towards the nurse, waiting for an explanation.

The nurse pursed her lips and explained, "Hmm I think they made a mistake, we had to call your mom over not you Dr Zhang."

Mian sighed and helplessly shook her head. "What is wrong with the people of this hospital? Are we facing less problems that you all are burdening us with more?"

When the nurse lowered her head, Mian added, "Let the other doctor see the patient for now, mom will definitely take some time to arrive and we can't risk it."

"But—"

Crossing her arms in the front, Mian hissed, "What now?"

"I mean Dr Gavin is available but he doesn't want him to see his wife so—"

Turning towards Nathan, Mian snapped, "You do know this is not the correct time to make a favourable choice right? Your wife needs to see a doctor right now and you can't wait for a new one. And since when did we start asking the patients to choose the doctors in an emergency situation like this?"

"Look, I just want the best for my wife and I don't think that Dr Gavin is the best choice." There was no way he would let him come anywhere near Ariana. Nathan was very well aware of all the things that Gavin had been doing. Though he had no concrete proof that he was behind all the murders that were happening, he was pretty sure that it had something to do with Gavin.

"Why not? Dr Gavin is the only choice you have right now and—"

Cutting Mian off, Nathan snapped, "I just don't trust that doctor okay? I have heard negative things about him so I don't wanna take any risk."

"Okay, I'll be there too and I'll make sure nothing goes wrong. Are you okay with that?" When Nathan nodded his head, Mian turned towards the nurse and added, "Call Dr Gavin."

Placing her hand on Zian's arm, Mian sighed, "I'll be back soon honey, why don't you go and take some rest in my cabin?"

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me babe," Zian assured her.

After Mian left, Nathan started pacing back and forth in the corridor again. He was very nervous and anxious for his wife and their unborn child. It had been three months since they found out about Ariana's pregnancy and he didn't want his wife or his baby to be anywhere near Gavin so he took Ariana back to the States the very next day.

Seeing how worried he was, Zian tried to console him. "Hey it's gonna be okay, my fiancee is great and I am sure she will handle this entire situation very well."

Nath sighed and nodded his head. "I shouldn't have brought her here with me but you have no idea how stubborn she is, if she once says that she wants to come then no power can stop her."

"Where are you from and is this your first time in country S?" Zian inquired.

"I am originally from the States and I have been to country S before, I have friends here." Checking his coat pocket, Nathan groaned in frustration.

"What happened?"

"My phone is missing, I must have misplaced it during the accident. Now how am I supposed to contact my friends?"

Thinking for a while, Zian said, "Maybe I can help, I have a few contacts which can help to fetch your friend's number."

"You can?" When Zian nodded his head, Nathan added, "My friend's name is Xie Yinhai and—"

"Wait a second, you are Yinhai's friend?" Zian inquired.

Looking at him carefully, Nathan widened his eyes in shock. "Are you Li Zian? No wonder you look so familiar. It's a pleasure to finally talk and see you in person."

"Wait a minute, are you Ashton and Yinhai's US friend?" When Nathan nodded his head, Zian asked, "Hmm so how did this accident exactly happen?"

OPD

Wearing his gloves, Gavin chuckled, "So it is an emergency huh? And here I thought Dr Zhang wanted to see me personally for a reason."

Ignoring him, Mian kept instructing the nurse. She had no idea whether it was because Zian hated Gavin or it was just the vibe she got from him, but she started hating being around him. Everything that he did or said was irritating and irrational.
