Barely catching his breath, Jiro asked in one single breath "How are you? Are you alright?"
Surprised Chun looked up and said "I'm alright. Catch you breath."
Jiro barely registered what Chun said, when he burst out "Did you know that Ella is also in this hospital?"
Hearing the name 'Ella' and the word 'hospital' in the same sentence, Chun's heart stopped.
He held his breath, whispering “Is…. is……is…..”
He gathered up all his courage before asking, shakily “Is she alright? What is she doing here?”
Jiro didn’t have time to answer, when Chun tried to get up in a flourish, but Jiro used one hand to push Chun back down onto the hospital bed.
Frustration rose and blood began to boil in Chun’s veins as he commanded Jiro to take him to Ella’s side at once.
Trying to keep his temperature in check as his heart cried out for his friend, Jiro tried to calm Chun down without any success.
Finally, Jiro couldn’t help but to give up, two nurses arrived and got both Jiro and Chun into a wheelchair and began wheeling them towards Ella’s room.
Along the way, no other sound besides the steady bustling day of hospital work and Chun's pounding heart can be heard.
They were each lost in their own thoughts, thinking of all the different problems they have yet got to solve.
They had just arrived at Ella’s room, when a nurse cut in front of them into her room.
From just outside the door, they saw the nurse rushed to Ella’s side with a beaming smile, saying cheerfully “Your daughter is alright now. We finally got the fever to go down and remain somewhat stable, but we still need to keep an eye on her for another day. So you can rest now, but please sign these papers.”
The nurse retreated, promising to return with the baby in a few minutes for feeding.
Selina was glancing over the papers, when Chun wanted to leave.
He was motioning for the nurse to push him back to his room, not even really acknowledging the fact that Selina is there until he heard her speak up.
Curiously, Selina asked with her eyes still on the paper “Who are you going to list for the baby’s father? And what will her name be?”
Without a moment of hesitation, Ella replied “Chun Wu. Her whole name will be Annabelle Wu.”
A surprised gasp flew out of Chun’s mouth, drawing all the attention to himself.
Ella’s eyes flew open in surprise before sadness flashed in.
At long last, she veiled her eyes, turning away as if she haven’t seen him, but tears had already began to dripped down her pale porcelain cheeks and onto her blankets with a gentle ‘plop, plop’.
Seeing this, Chun couldn’t help but to fly out of the wheelchair and rush to her side, ignoring the throbbing pain of his head.
He gathered her into his arms and the tears began to drip steadily down both of their face, wetting their hospital gowns.
So without another word, Selina, Jiro, and all the nurses left, disappearing out the door.
