"Liling, you can't be serious, you mean, Mr Liu Wei is paralyzed as of right now?"

Xin Yong who had just taken a shower and was about to retire for the night screamed over the phone. She couldn't believe the story she had just heard.

"Xin Yong, that's not even the problem right now. What I'm most troubled about is how I would bath him and clothe him since he can't use his hands properly, it is... "

"OMG, Liling!!, are you like going to bath him for real??, like BATH him for REAL!! "

"XIN YONG!! "

Xin Yong burst into an uncontrollable laughter. Just imagining the scene of her friend bathing that strikingly handsome man made her blush.

"Xin Yong, are you going to help a friend or you are going to laugh at me? "

Liling who was almost fuming, scolded angrily at her. She had eaten and had her shower, and she was about retiring for the night when she thought of sharing with Xin Yong her predicament.

"Ok.. okay, let's see..., why where you in his pool in the first place? "

Xin Yong cleared her throat and tried to be serious.

"I've told you!!, it looked more beautiful than the general pool, so I decided to try it out.. "

"Then you ended up making your boss paralysed? "

"Wait, are you going to help me or are you going to scold unnecessarily for irreversible mistakes?"

Liling was getting angry at Xin Yong's responses, she angrily screamed over the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'm serious, I'm serious now. But, how did you go through this night?, he didn't shower? "

Liling sighed and replied remorsefully.

"That's it, he didn't ask me to help him, so that means he didn't take a shower, not only that, he didn't make use of the bathroom, and since he can't even use his hands properly, he can't even daily my number which means, if he needs to pee, he'll have to do it on his bed"

"Liling, that is so bad. What were you thinking? He's a second generation rich son! what if his parents find out, it's the end of you."

"Arrgh, I know... why do you keep rubbing it on my face?. I don't know what to do, Liu Wei is a very good person, and I've been causing trouble for him. I feel so bad right now."

Liling replied, she squeezed herself deeper into the quilt as she hugged her pillow tighter.

"Liling, as much as I want to side with you, I can't. You see, let's start from how he helped you with the bills, then didn't ask for anything, you live in his house, eat free food and he even pays an allowance even though he had already said you will work without getting paid but all you do is get him paralyzed?, is that... "

"Liling, your apology is not enough. Any reasonable person would know that a paralysed person would need help at night, but you are in your room waiting for him to call you.

You know that he baths at night, but maybe because it wasn't proper to ask a lady to help him, he couldn't ask you, but then you, knowing that it was a prerequisite didn't care to inquire also... "

"Xin Yong, it's not what you think.. "

"Wait!, I'm not through yet. You are waiting for your boss whom you incapacitated to ask you to help clean him up when you know it is what is required of you. Liling, saying sorry isn't enough, you should show that you are really sorry for your actions. "

Liling was rendered speechless at the end of her speech, she was filled with guilt and remorse. It took her sometime before she could summon courage to respond.

"So, what do you suggest I should do.. "

"Good, you should take a pillow and go sleep in his room in case he needs anything. "
