Chapter Sixteen (Page Five)

Chan sat there for a few more seconds. “You know, I think I own you apologize.” Chan said “When you first came to me, with your problems, all those years ago. I mean, it was just a few days in prior, when I asked you out and you told me you got a boyfriend. Then, a few days later, you told me about all of those problems, you have with Sam. I was surprised. You got me off guard. In that time, I thought my judgment might be clouded, because I originally was asking you out, so I suggested to you that all couples have their problems and that included you and Sam and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions that quickly, despite my instinct told me that this relationship means trouble. Maybe, if I suggested for you to dump him back then, none of these would have happened, considering you guys only dated for a short period of time, by then. I am sorry about that.” Chan said

“It’s Ok” Hailey said

Chan smiled, he took a look at his watch “It is almost eight. I probably should head off now. Plus, the doctor says, you should get more rest” Chan said, as he started to left the chair “Bye” Chan said

“Bye” Hailey replied

Chan started walking out the room.

“And Chan” Hailey quickly said, before he left the room.

“Yes, what’s up?” Chan replied

“Thanks” Hailey replied

“For what?” Chan asked

“For coming today, it means a lot to me.” Hailey said

Chan didn’t say anything, he smiled and then he left the room.

Eric was waiting outside the room, Tang has already left.

“She is all yours.” Chan smiled and said

“Thanks sir” Eric quickly said and then he walked into the room.

Tang walked towards Chan, “Was it a good conversation?” Tang asked

“It was interesting” Chan replied

Tang took a look at Eric, inside the room “The boy is in love, I think.” Tang said

Chan took a look at Eric, inside the room, too. “The poor boy has a crush. Poor kid, she is going to break his heart. It is my instinct.”

“Mine too.” Tang replied. “If the word on the street about Hailey is true, our sister Mulan and her husband, are opening up an English day care center at Taiwan. They could use a native speaker, who has teaching experience, working there. That is if Hailey come to her senses of course. I might be able to get her a job there, to get away from all of these. You know how hard it is, to find teacher who are both native English speakers and are qualified trained teacher, in Asia these days. But that is providing, if this Hailey girl came to her senses first, it is as you say, nobody can help her, unless she is willing to help herself. I can get her that job, if she is willing to help herself.” Tang said

Chapter Sixteen (Page Four)

Hailey looked at Chan.

“Do you know what fairytale is all about? They are written to reinforce conservative ideology. Just like most conservative ideologies, western conservative ideology is sexist towards female and because they are usually written during a more sexist day, to a great extent, it was also written to reflect male sexual desire, in other word, our sexual desire. Protecting a weak, helpless, innocent, passive and beautiful girl in distress, play a role in male sexual desire, in many cultures. In western culture, it also results in a situation, where the conservative culture believes that, a true woman is supposed to be a weak, helpless and innocent victim and those who play contrast to it, are not real woman and are evil, but anyway, we are getting off topic here. The point is, those fairytales are just stories, that are there to reflect conservative ideologies and male sexual desires, our sexual desire, they are not a reflection of reality and definitely not to reflect your interest, they are there to support conservative ideology interest and our male sexual desire interest only, they are written for us guys, not for you girls and it definitely don’t reflect reality.” Chan said

Hailey didn’t say anything. “Are there any that reflect otherwise?” Hailey said

“Maybe yes, maybe no, but the point is, they are just stories, not reality. They are just like a soap opera. They are fiction, don’t mistaken fiction, to be reality. If you want to read a story, that reflects reality, read a biography or a history book, not fairy tales.” Chan said

Hailey didn’t say anything, she didn’t really want to hear this and if it was anybody, other than Chan, Hailey would tell him/her to stop.

“Fact number 2, based on what I know, I think you want a very romantic relationship and your probably also believe, that is what true love and true happiness is supposed to be. Now, I don’t know whether that got anything to do with those fairytales none sense, I think it might be related, to those fairy tale shit. But anyway, I think, because Sam is really good at been romantic and because you have a preexisting believe, that this is what true love and true happiness is supposed to be, despite the fact he bash you up on a 24/7 basis, cheat on you on a 24/7 basis and legally married another woman and leaving you in the cold, on a 24/7 basis...”Chan’s sentence has been cut off

“But this and that is different.” Hailey replied

“And how is it different? Now, please enlighten me, how is a relationship, where you get bash up on a 24/7 basis, get cheat on a 24/7 basis and where your partner, legally married some bimbo and leave you in the cold on a 24/7 basis, a happy relationship.” Chan said

“Because he cares about me and he loves me and he make me feel special and…” Hailey’s sentence has been cut off.

“Is that the truth or is that just something, you are telling yourself?” Chan asked

“What do you mean?” Hailey asked

“When a person believes in something badly enough, sometime, they refuse to believe otherwise, due to various form of reasons. For example, maybe they can’t handle the truth and it is just easier for them to believe in the lie. They choose to see everything that has taken place, in a manner that is coalition with what they want to believe in or refuse to see anything in a manner, that is in contrast to what they want to believe in, not even if reality itself, have been served to them, on a silver platter. I am not going to pretend that I fully understand why people would act this way. I am not a professional. Ask Fatima, she would probably know more about this then me. Now, you say that you believe he loves you and cares about you. I cannot tell you, whether what you believe in is the truth or a lie. All I can tell you, in response to that statement, is what my dad always tells me, when I was growing up, ‘always be honest to yourself’ that is all.” Chan said

“I am” Hailey said

“For your own sack, I hope you are.” Chan said, he knows for a fact, Hailey is not been honest with herself, but he didn’t say anything in response to that, he believe she would not listen to that, unless she is willing to.

“Fact number 3, you are been really selfish, you know that? I mean, I thought you would have change, after you have a child, if not for your interest, then for your child’s interest. But no, you continue to do this, despite putting the life of your child in jeopardy. And you wonder why I say, you make a bad mother. You know, they say a mother would do anything for their child. I am not seen that within you, right now. Look at what sort of family, were you brining your child into.” Chan said

“A happy one” Hailey replied

“I am not going to say whether that is the case or not, but what you need to ask yourself is that, is this the truth or is it a lie that you’ve been telling yourself. Although I must say, your baby died before he or she even have the opportunity to see the world, in this world you are planning to bring him or her into. Now, if that is true happiness, I rather don’t want it. The rest is up to you to decide.” Chan said

Hailey still didn’t say anything. She really doesn’t want to hear any of these, anymore.

Chapter Sixteen (Page Three)

“I heard somebody called her, a full-time care taker.” Tang said

“A friend, Fatima” Chan said

“The celebrity?” Tang asked

“She is up in California right now. But she made a telephone call, to her assistant, in Sydney, to get Walker a full-time care taker, the second she heard the news. Emma SMS the news to her.” Chan said

“She seems like a nice person.” Tang said

“She is. Fatima is a nice person. Plus, she and Hailey are good friends and not to mention that, like many celebrities, Fatima is rich, she can afford it.” Chan said

“Lucky.” Tang replied

“Yap” Chan said “Look, is it alright, if I go inside, to talk to her along, for a few seconds?” Chan finally asked

“Yeah sure, of course, just don’t take too long. She is still really weak.” Tang replied

“Alright” Chan said and then he turned to Eric “Eric, is it alright, if I talk to Hailey along?”

“Yes sir, I’ll wait out here.” Eric replied

“Thanks” Chan replied

Chan walked into Hailey’s room and close the door behind him, leaving Eric and everybody outside.

Hailey was happy to see Chan, she smiled “Hey”

Chan sighed heavily “How are you feeling.” He said and took a seat next to Hailey.

“The doctors won’t let me out of the hospital.” Hailey replied

“Well, you seriously screw up big time, this time around.” Chan said

There were a few seconds of silent, neither Chan nor Hailey said anything.

“Dr. Tang Wong, he is your brother, isn’t it?” Hailey finally asked

“Yes.” Chan replied “You should listen to him, he is one of the best doctors in the world, the board of this hospital, is trying convinces him to stay in Australia, to be the hospital’s new Chief of Medicine.”

“Is he staying?” Hailey asked

“I don’t think so. He is not used to, some of this country’s customs.” Chan said

“It’s interesting” Hailey said and then, there was another few seconds of silent. “I heard some people say, Tang is a bit as a player.” Hailey finally said

“He can be sometime, in his free time.” Chan said “I heard people saying, you are telling everybody that, you are in here, because you fall down the stairs, all by yourself.”

“I…I” Hailey wasn’t sure what to say

“Hey, you know none of those doctors out there, are buying it. Now, you are not going to start lying to me too, are you?” Chan said

“I thought you say that, you are not going to talk to me anymore.” Hailey said

“Considering the circumstances, I can make an exception. Come on girly, spill it, what happened?” Chan said

“I don’t want to talk about it.” Hailey said

“You have been bugging me, with your emotional problems, for years and now you don’t want to talk? Are you kidding me?” Chan said

“Look I just…” Hailey’s sentence was been cut off

“Hailey, I swear to god, talk or die.” Chan said

“I don’t know. I am just so confused.” Hailey said

“And you wonder, why I say, you would make a bad mother. I heard you lost your baby, because of this. Is it true?” Chan said

Hailey nodded

“And you wonder, why I say, you make a bad mother. Look at what happened to your kid. How can you take care of anybody, when you can’t even take care of yourself? Sam hit you, didn’t he? You know? None of these would happen, if you leave Sam.” Chan said

“It…it is just hard.” Hailey said

“Even for the sack of your child, is it? God, you are selfish.” Chan said

“I…I” Hailey couldn’t think of the right thing to say.

“Look girl, I am going to tell you this once and only once.” Chan said, he knows Hailey well and he has a good idea, what is most likely to be going on inside her head and he has decided to get straight to the point, assuming he is right about, what is going on inside Hailey’s head “Fact number 1, there is no universal rule of what true happiness is supposed to be and what true love is supposed to be. I know you Hailey, you been through a lot while you growing up, your dad hit you and your mum, you gone through numerous foster home while growing up and as a result, for some reason, I don’t really understand, you might have this image of what true love and true happiness is supposed to be like, a lot of those ideas are been feed to you via fairytales such as Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. I might be able to understand why, if I am a female, but I am not, I am a male. But anyway, those are just stories, not reality. Plus, those stories normally just say, they live happily ever after, but give no definition of it. If Cinderella and her prince are soul mate, that might justify the happily ever after, but if Cinderella’s prince is a player, who cheat on her on a 24/7 basis and would chop her head off, if she can’t give her a male hair, well, if that is true happiness, then I rather don’t want it. Same with Snow White, if her prince is a funny guy that make her laugh, then that might be a happily ever after, but if her prince is a wife beater, who lock her up in a dungeon, all the time. If that is true happiness, I rather don’t want it. Now, let’s look at some real-life woman that married into royal family. That chick who married into the…I think Demark royal family, Princess Mary, well she and her husband seem happy, although they probably have their up and downs, just like any couples, but overall they seem to be a lovely couple and her husband seem like a lovely guy, so Ok, maybe that is happily ever after, but let’s take another example, take a look at the most world famous, Princess Diana, she married to a prince too and what happened to that? Well, if that is happiness, I rather don’t want it.” Chan said

Chapter Sixteen (Page Two)

Emma rise back to her feet, to help Chan. Chan and Emma stood next to each other. They charged forward and knock down the Sam’s fifth and seventh friend, before they got a chance to rise back to their feet. Sam’s other five friends had gotten back to their feet. Emma kneel down to the ground, while Chan leap to the air and threw another 365-degree flying kick, knocking all of them down, at once. Sam’s fifth and seventh friend had gotten back to their feet. Chan and Emma weren’t giving them a chance to fight, Chan and Emma charged forward, throwing numbers of kicks and punches onto them, knocking them down definitely.

Then, Chan and Emma turned their attention, to the other five of Sam’s friends. Sam’s first, second, third and sixth friend had gotten back onto their feet, Chan leaped into the air and jumped forward in the same time and kicked Sam’s sixth friend on the stomach. Sam’s sixth friend flew across the air and slammed into the wall, leaving the sound of a bang, while hitting the wall. Emma punched the first of Sam’s friend, blocked the punch of the second then slide forward and kicked the third one. Chan landed back onto the ground. Emma stood next to Chan. Sam’s second and fourth friend tried to attack. Chan kicked the two of them and have both of them knocked down in definitely.

Sam’s other two friends, weren’t sure whether they should attack. They just stood there. Emma walked towards Sam. She was still angry. She pulled Sam to his feet. “You hit Hailey again, did you? DID YOU!!!” Emma yelled angrily.

Emma raised her fist, to punch Sam, but Chan blocked it.

“Emma, that is enough, there is no point.” Chan said

Emma looked at Chan “Calm down, he is not worth it.” Chan said

“Yeah, by the way, I think I’ll call the cops on you, for breaking in and physical assault.” Sam said

Chan took a look at Sam, “Well, you can do that if you want. But what can we do? Hmm…let me think about it. Domestic violence, what you did to Hailey, a few days ago. You see, Hailey’s injury can only be cause by assault, we will call the cops about that and you will get into a whole lot of trouble. The cops will get involve and investigate. They will start asking question. Hailey would say her injury is caused by people trying to rob her house, not by you. Then the cops would put both of you and Hailey onto a polygraph test, which would prove she is lying and considering the fact you been to prison before and you were in Sydney the day that the ambulance found Hailey unconscious and the neighbor heard a lot of domestic disturbance and the number of time you pull a knife onto your staff in Queensland, well, I don’t know about you, but I think there is enough here to persuade the jury and throw you behind bars, too. What do you think?” Chan looked at Sam and said

Sam stood there, numbed for a second. “I won’t say anything, if you don’t say anything.” Sam said.

Chan took a look at Sam “That is more like it.” And with that, Chan and Emma left

Chan and Emma walked out of the building and back to the car together. “What the hell is the matter with you? What were you thinking?” Chan asked Emma angrily, after they gotten out of the building.

“I…I wasn’t.” Emma said

“Do you know that, he could sue you, for breaking into his house like that? He could also sue you, for physical assault. Is that what you want?” Chan asked “Not to mention the danger involve. There were eight of them in there. Eight! Are you crazy? Do you really believe that, you really can handle eight guys, all by yourself? God, even I can’t handle eight guys all by myself. You are a great fighter Emma, but you are not invisible. You could have died in there, you know that? Do you really think you could have helped Hailey like this? You were lucky you didn’t get yourself killed. You didn’t do any good in there, you know that? You know what you did? All you did was, almost got yourself killed, almost got yourself ended up in prison and we just lost our one and only card, that we have, to get Hailey out of that relationship right now, because we used it, to make a deal with Sam, so he won’t call the cops. You didn’t do any good like that, not at all, this is not like you. Not like you at all.” Chan said

“I…I let my emotions gotten the better of me.” Emma said

“There is nothing wrong about having emotions. But that is only if you are able to control it and use it constructively, only. Don’t lose your temper like that again, anger might give you the energy requires, to solve the problem, but the impulse associate with it, is usually counterproductive.” Chan said

A few minutes later, Eric and Chan, came close to Hailey’s room within the hospital.

Tang was standing nearby and he was teaching a group of interns. Nancy Paterson, who is one of Tang’s, most trusted lieutenants, within this hospital, stood next to him. When he saw Chan and Eric came by, Tang told Nancy to take over the class and then he went to talk to Chan.

“Emma isn’t here today.” Tang said

“I know. I came here to check on Hailey Walker.” Chan replied

“She is stable. She is still insisting that she fell down the stairs. Words on the street is that she gotten bashed up by her boyfriend. But as I said, she is still insisting that she fell down the stairs and nothing else.” Tang said

Chan smiled “Of course she is going to say that. This is Hailey we are talking about.” Chan said

Chapter Sixteen (Page One)

Emma drove down the road angrily. She was going to teach Sam a lesson. Angrily, Emma drove towards Hailey’s apartment. Emma parked her car, by the road’s curb, in front of the building, which Hailey’s apartment belongs to. Emma got off the car and started walking towards Hailey’s apartment. Hailey’s apartment was on the second floor. Emma could hear sound of Sam and some other guys, inside the house.

“Sam, get the fuck out here!!!” Emma yelled knocking on the door heavily and angrily.

Inside the house, Sam was with seven of his mates, watching the football game.

“Sam, get your fucked ass out here, right now!!!” Emma yelled angrily.

Sam doesn’t recognize Emma’s voice. He got off the couch, to go open the door.

“Sammy, who did you knocked up, ha?” one of Sam’s friends joked

“Make sure she gives you a blow job.” Another one of Sam’s friends joked, everybody in the room laugh

“Sam, get your ass out here now!!!” Emma angrily banged on the door.

“Coming” Sam said lazily, as he opened the door.

The second Sam opened the door, Emma charged into the room and punched Sam several times and then nail him against the wall, with his front facing the wall. Sam doesn’t stand a chance against Emma, in hand to hand combat.

“What is your problem? What is your fucked problem!!! Ha?” Emma yelled angrily.

Emma had given Sam a bloody nose and a black eye, due to those few punches, a few seconds ago. Sam tried to struggle free, but because she had training, Emma know how to keep Sam nailed against the wall, despite the fact Sam is stronger them her. Sam tried to struggle free, with no luck.

Sam’s friends were quick to come aiding Sam.

Emma saw Sam’s friends coming forward. Emma quickly threw Sam onto them, that knocked down Sam’s first and second friend and then she quickly threw two kicks and knocked down Sam’s third and fourth friend.

Sam’s fifth and sixth friend tried to attack Emma, but Emma dogged away from their attack and punched the sixth one, in the stomach. Then Emma kicked Sam’s seventh friend in his balls.

Sam’s fifth friend came over, to try taking Emma down, but Emma was quick to knock him down.

The first four of Sam’s friends had gotten back onto their feet and tried to attack Emma together.

Emma jumped backwards and kicked the first one and then she leaped to the air and threw two flying kicks that knock down the second and the third, when she reached the ground, she threw a punch that knock down the fourth. Sam and his sixth and seventh friend had gotten back to their feet and were attacking Emma from behind. Emma threw two punches, to knock down Sam and his sixth friend, but Sam’s seventh friend punched Emma. This punch knocked Emma to the ground. Emma jumped back onto her feet quickly, before neither Sam nor his friends, were able to use their stronger physical strength, to their advantage against her. Sam’s seventh friend, tried to punch her again, but Emma block that punch and punched him a few times on the stomach, knocking him down.

In front of her, Sam’s fifth friend had gotten back to his feet and behind her, Sam’s first and second friend, had gotten back to their feet, also. All three of them charged Emma together, one from the front and two from behind.

Emma moved to the left, then kicked the first one and punched the second one and knocked both of them down, but Sam’s fifth friend hit Emma and knocked her down.

Emma was able to get back to her feet quickly, but not quick enough, to respond to Sam’s fifth and third friend, getting close and hit Emma couple of times. But Emma didn’t fall down, because of that. After been punched a few times, Emma managed to respond. She blocked the following punches and then threw a few punches that knocked down those two guys.

But then Sam’s second, sixth and seventh friend, charged Emma together, before she had a chance to response and hold her down together.

Sam gotten back to his feet “I am going to enjoy this and I don’t care if you are a girl, you bitch!” Sam yelled angrily and said. With that, he grabbed a thick wooden stick and smashed it right across Emma’s head, with it. Emma was still been hold down.

“Look like the tie have turned, bitch.” Sam said and then he punched Emma right across the face with his fist. Sam stopped for a few seconds and then he threw another two punches onto Emma. Emma was still been hold down.

Outside, Chan arrived, he knew that Emma must have come here, he heard the sound of Sam’s voice and decided Emma must be in trouble.

“Shit!” Chan said to himself as he rushed into the room. Chan leaped to the air and threw a 365-degree flying kick that knocked down Sam’s first, third, fourth and fifth friend.

Sam and his other three friends, came to try attack Chan, Chan leaped to the air again, this time, he threw three flying kicks, knocked down those three of friends of Sam’s. Sam tried to throw a punch towards Chan, Chan jumped backwards and dogged the punch, then he leap forward and threw three kicks, the first one smashed Sam right across the face, the second one hit Sam in the stomach and the third one hit Sam in the balls, then, Chan threw a punch that landed right onto Sam’s nose and broke it, giving Sam and definitely knock out.

~During the exact same time, Sydney

Emma drove down the road angrily. She was going to teach Sam a lesson. Angrily, Emma drove towards Hailey’s apartment.

All you did was, almost got yourself killed, almost got yourself ended up in prison and we just lost our one and only card, that we have, to get Hailey out of that relationship right now, because we used it, to make a deal with Sam, so he won’t call the cops. You didn’t do any good like that, not at all, this is not like you. Not like you at all.” Chan said

“I…I let my emotions gotten the better of me.” Emma said

“There is nothing wrong about having emotions. But that is only if you are able to control it and use it constructively, only. Don’t lose your temper like that again, anger might give you the energy requires, to solve the problem, but the impulse associate with it, is usually counterproductive.” Chan said

Chapter Fifteen (Page Two)

“Sam hit you again, didn’t he?” Emma said

“No, he didn’t. I fell down the stairs.” Hailey replied.

“Don’t lye to me. Don’t keep me out of the loop girl, don’t.” Emma said

“Everything is fine.” Hailey said

Emma sighed “I had a look at your X rays. Hailey it…” Emma sentence was been cut off again.

“Emma, please don’t try to convince me. I am fine, really.” Hailey said

Emma sighed “I want to keep you in the hospital, for a bit longer. I want to make sure you are ok. You got some internal bleeding as well, broke a few rips, also. You are not leaving this hospital anytime soon.” Emma said

“Angela can take my class.” Hailey said

“The school already got a substitute.” Emma said “Hailey please…” Emma’s sentence was been cut off

“Emma, seriously, everything is fine. Sam and I…ouch.” Hailey cried out in pain.

“Don’t talk too heavily. You can’t afford to right now.” Emma said

“Would any of these medicines, have any side effect on the baby?” Hailey asked

Emma paused for a while “No” she finally said

“What’s wrong? Why did you pause for so long?” Hailey said

Emma sighed “There is no easy way of telling you this Hailey, but…” Emma sentence stopped, not sure what to say next.

“But, but what?” Hailey said worried.

“Hailey, you survive that attack on you, but your baby didn’t. You lost your baby.” Emma finally said

“No, that can’t be possible. It can’t be. It can’t be. You are lying to me, Emma. You are lying!!! You are lying!” Hailey started yelling and crying, like she gone insane.

Emma took a step back, not sure what to do.

Hailey’s condition, doesn’t allow her to get this emotionally negatively and her body started to exercise problem. A few seconds later, Tang and a few nurses and two intern doctors, came into the room, to try to keep Hailey alive.

“You are a liar. You are a liar!” Hailey was still yelling.

“Calm down, Miss Walker, calm down.” Tang quickly said, but that wasn’t working.

“You liar, this should not be happening, you are lying to me! You are lying!” Hailey continue to yell.

“Ok, that is it. Do it.” Tang said to one of the interns.

The intern nodded and then he quickly injected a needle into Hailey and put her into a sleep, and a few second later, all of Hailey’s vital became stable again.

“You got cold feet. That is so unlike you.” Tang said to Emma, afterwards. “It is always more difficult to operate on people you know. Especially those, who you are close to, don’t be too hard on yourself” Tang said

“Ok” Emma said.

Tang walked away.

Emma stood there, for a few seconds “Ok, that is it” Emma finally thought to herself, with that, Emma walked out of the room and to Tang.

“Tang, do me a favor. When Chan come to pick up the kids, tell him they are at the nurses’ reception, Ok? There is somewhere I need to go, right now.” Emma said

“Yeah sure.” Tang said

Then, Emma took a look at her watch. It was 5:00 PM, still early enough. Emma quickly called Nancy, another doctor within the hospital.

“Hello?” Nancy picked up the phone and said

“Nancy, I know I lost that bet to you, so I have to take your night shift for the month. But this is an emergency. I need you to come here.” Emma said

“Oh, come on, I already made plans for tonight.” Nancy said

“Nancy” Emma said

“But, I still have to get to the hospital.” Nancy said

“Nancy, you live five minutes, within walking distance.” Emma said

“Alright, alright, I’ll be there soon.” Nancy said

Five minutes later, Nancy came to the hospital.

Emma quickly went to Tang “So Tang, Chan is coming to the hospital, to pick up the kids, around 6:30, ok? Make sure you take him to the nurses’ reception, so he won’t get lost, ok? I have to go now, this is an emergency.” Emma said

“What’s wrong, what is it?” Tang asked

“No time to explain!” Emma said as she quickly jogged out of the hospital.

Ten minutes later, Chan arrived to the hospital.

“Hey Tang.” Chan said, when he saw his brother

“Hey” Tang replied

“Where is Emma?” Chan asked in Cantonese.

“I am not sure. Oh yeah, by the way, you know that kid Eric Reid, who has been taking care of, Hailey Walker?” Tang said in Cantonese.

“What about him?” Chan asked

A few second later, Nancy walked passed, “Hey, you are Chan, Emma’s boy friend, right?” Nancy said

“Yeah. What about it?” Chan asked

“She says she got some form of emergency that she need to go to. You know what that is about?” Nancy asked

“No idea.” Chan frowned and said “Nothing happened to the kids, did it?” Chan asked

“No, they are down stairs, at the nurses’ reception. Emma pacifically asked me to take you there, in case you get lost.” Tang said

“Emma is not in the hospital?” Chan asked

“No, she left in a rush.” Nancy said

“Ok, that is weird. I’ll call her cell phone.” Chan said, as he started looking for Emma’s number, on his mobile’s speed dial.

“Oh yeah, by the way, that Hailey Walker girl woke up.” Tang said to Nancy.

“Who woke up?” Chan asked

“Hailey Walker, the one your boy Eric, is taking care of.” Tang said

“Shit, I know where Emma is. Tang, if I don’t make it back in time, can you baby sit the children tonight?” Chan said

“Yeah sure, but…” Tang did not have the time to finish his sentence

“Thanks, I got to go. It is an emergency.” Chan quickly said and jogged out of the hospital.

“What is wrong with those two?” Tang asked

“Beat the hell out of me. I got a date tonight. Now, I have to cancel it.” Nancy said.
