"Leila's still not awake?" Raymond whispered.
Ron shook his head. "What did Tavia tell you?"
Raymond sat down and told everything to Ron.
"What consequences? So what about the wedding? It's still going on?" Ron shook Raymond.
"I don't know, I really don't know. I know it's my fault for leaving Tavia there alone. Sorry Ron,"
"Never mind. I believe Tavia has her own reasons for doing that. But now, I'm most worried about Leila. She hasn't woke up yet. I'm really afraid that I will lose her. I can't afford to lose her. Leila, please? Kor's begging you, wake up! I know you can hear me! Leila!?" Ron gripped Leila's hand and sobbed.
"Stay calm. You have to work tomorrow, you better go back first,"
"I want to accompany Leila," Ron shook his head.
"Okay then, you want a drink?"
"No thanks,"
"Okay. Leila, wake up soon okay? Remember my promise? We have to take neoprints again and go star-gazing. Be a good girl and wake up tonight okay?" Raymond whispered to Leila.
Ron and Raymond stayed vigil by Leila's bedside for the whole night, but they didn't notice a drop of tear rolling down Leila's face...

"Why did I brought up such a son! Ray's mobile is off!" Mr Lam yelled, flunging the cordless phone onto the marble-tiled floor.
"Chill. Maybe he's at work? Calm down, it's not good for your health. You don't want to become your son's patient do you?" Mrs Lam said.
Mr Lam coughed. "No matter what, the wedding will still be on!"
"Do you think we are pushing them too far?"
"What do you mean? You want to annul the wedding as well? You're mad! Enough is enough! He and that Leila! Don't bother me!" Mr Lam argued and went into his study room.

"Tavia, you didn't eat much just now. Here, eat this bowl of noodles," Mrs Yeung came into Tavia's room and put in on Tavia's table.
"I don't want to eat anything! Just leave me alone and get out!"
"Tavia! That Ron guy is not worthy of your love and your time. He's just..-"
"You shut up! You're not to insult Ron! I said, get out, OUT!" Tavia screamed, pointing at the door.
"Fine! Since you want to degrade yourself and suffer with that Ron, go ahead! I wash my hands of you! Your dad is not going to annul the wedding and that's final! 3 months later, you and Raymond shall step into the church no matter what. And go for the photo shoot soon, we need the wedding photos,"
"What wedding photos? I told you I don't want to get married! I don't want to marry Raymond! Get off my nerves! GET OUT!! OUT!!" Tavia yelled till her voice was hoarse.
Mrs Yeung frowned in anger and slammed the door behind her, crying.
* The next day *
"Ron, Ron, wake up! You'll be late for work!"
Ron woke up and saw a blurry vision of Raymond.
"Huh what? Oh okay. But Leila.."
"I will take care of her. Go to work," Raymond assured him.
"Okay, call me when Leila's awake. I'll drop by during my lunch hour." Ron yawned and looked at Leila. "Princess, wake up soon," With that, Ron closed the door behind him.
"Leila, you've slept enough. Wake up!" Raymond said.
Raymond sighed when he saw that Leila wasn't responding at all.
Raymond's POV: She looks cute when she's sleeping, but cuter when she smiles. Will I really lose Leila? Then what about the wedding? Looks like our parents are not going to give in.

"Ron, come in a while. I need to brief you on something," Sammul, the Chief of HR department informed Ron when he saw Ron stepping into the office.
"What is it about, Mr Chan?"
"Take a seat first. Well, there's news from the Boss that the company will undergo some minor reconstruction in some of the departments. Your job is to deploy them accordingly to the newly constructed departments. Any problem with that?"
"No problem, Mr Chan,"
"Good. Please pass the proposal to me latest by this Friday, I know it's kind of rush, but that's the instruction given,"
"Sure. Is there anything else? If not I'll take my leave,"
Sammul shook his head and reached for the phone when Ron had left the room.
"Hello? Mr Yeung? I've carried out your instructions,"
"Very good, Sammul. Hehe, let's see how is he going to deploy them, with 6 affected departments and over 50 staff. Make sure he does a good job Sammul." Mr Yeung laughed through the phone.
"Yes, Mr Yeung. I know what to do. Bye Mr Yeung, have a nice day," Sammul said and he placed the phone back into the handset.

"Dr Lam, there's a call for you outside," A nurse opened Leila's ward room door and told Raymond.
"Huh? Why can't that person just call my mobile?" Raymond groaned, taking out his cellphone. "Drats! The battery's flat! Uh, okay, I'll go and answer the call soon, thank you,"
The nurse nodded and went off.
"Leila, wait for me. I'll be back soon," Raymond gave Leila a kiss on her forehead and went to answer his call.
"Hello, Raymond here. Who's there?"
"Ray! Where have you been? Your dad couldn't reach you on your mobile and is very livid now." Mrs Lam asked anxiously.
"My battery's flat. Uh, you called me just to tell me that?"
"No, I'm calling to remind you about the photo shoot next week,"
"Uh, yah yah. Mum, I've something on now. Talk when I go back. Bye," Raymond lied and hung up the call.
Raymond's POV: Seems like they are not going to annul the wedding. Hm, I'll call Tavia and ask her.
"Hello? Please may I speak to Tavia?"
"Who's that on the line?"
"Raymond," He replied, recognizing Ying Jie's voice.
"Oh, Master Raymond, it's you! Please hold on," Ying Jie put the phone on the table and called at the bottom of the staircase. "Missy! Call for you!"
"I don't want to answer! Say I'll get back to him soon!" Tavia's muffled yelling travelled down the stairs.
"But it's Master Raymond!"
"I don't care he's Master Raymond or..WAIT!! Did you just say Raymond?! Wait! I'm coming down!" Tavia threw her blankets and Mashimaro aside and flew down the stairs.
"Hello? Raymond? Tavia here. Is Ron okay? What about Leila?" Tavia lowered her voice.
"Wait! You've bombarded me with so many questions, which one am I supposed to answer first? Ron's okay, he's just went to work today. But Leila..She's still in a coma,"
"Oh. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to her,"
"Hope so. Anyway, do you know about the photo shoot?"
"Yea, sigh!"
"Tavia, listen to me. I will think of ways, but for the time being, let's just pretend that we are a happy couple waiting for our marriage okay?"
"Whatever. I think I'm calling Ron at his office. It's just so sad that my dad confiscated my cellphone and I can only use this dumb phone so they will know who I'm talking to. Sigh,"
"Sigh. Okay, so I see you at the photo shoot next week?
"Yea, bye,"
"Bye and take care or Ron will be very sad. I gotta go check on Leila. Bye,"
The duo hanged up the phone and Tavia dialled the number of HR department when Ying Jie wasn't noticing.
"Good morning, the Yeung Group. May I help you?" Rain, the boy-crazy secretary in the HR department, picked up the phone.
Tavia cleared her voice to deepen it to avoid being recognized. "May I speak to Ron Ng please?"
"Uh, Ron ah? You hold on please," Rain sulked and called for Ron. "RON! Your call! Line 3!"
"OKAY!" Ron replied, diverting the call from line 3.
"Hello, this is Ron Ng, may I help you?" Ron asked.
"Ron! Tavia here! I missed you so much!" Tavia said excitedly.
"Tavia! I missed you too. How are you? Raymond told me that you are still being grounded,"
"Uh, okay. By the way, Raymond, the photo shoot will be on next week, remember that!" Tavia's voice faded away as Ying Jie walked past her.
"Huh? What photo shoot? Is there someone watching at you?"
"Yup, that's right. Okay, I don't disturb you anymore, will call you later. Bye!" Tavia rattled as Ying Jie eyed her suspiciously.
"Uh okay..Bye Tavia and take care,"
Tavia hung up hastily and acted as if nothing has happened and walked back to her room calmly.
Tavia's POV: Hehe, wants to catch me talking to Ron? Not so easy! In your next life perhaps? Hehe. * Glances at Ying Jie *
