Married to his secret crush

''I don't believe anything can happen to her,'' Han Jian Yu said as he held Mia's palm in his before warming it up. 

''You are refusing to accept…''

''Shut up!" All the emotions that he had suppressed in his heart came rushing to him all at once and all he could do was hold her palm tighter, refusing to let her go. He saw her finger disappearing when they were in the forest, what if it happened again? ''You promised you won't disappear from my life again, Mia and I don't… I don't allow you to go back on your words," Han Jian Yu lowered his head and tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes before they landed on Mia's face. 

Jun Zixuan's eyes narrowed when he witnessed the scene in front of him. The man whom he has seen always standing proudly…watching him trembling and breaking down like this, it was not something that he ever expected to see. 

When Mia came inside, there were some noises but after one hour, the place was entirely calm. And after waiting for a long time, Jun Zixuan looked at the ring in his hand before he walked inside the room, followed by Shi Luo.. And they were  greeted by the sight of Mia's cold body lying on the floor while Yu Mei seemed to be doing better than before.

Han Jian Yu gritted his teeth as he held the woman tightly in his arms, refusing to loosen his grip on her. His tears clouded his vision and the sight of her pale face was imprinted in his heart. 

Jun Zixuan closed his eyes, ''She saved Mei and our child. She said that she can save them and I let her. She told me I have been the best brother to her, she told Luoluo that she has been a good friend to her…'' His throat felt choked up with a myriad of emotions as he spoke, ''...But we never realized that she was bidding farewell.'' 

Han Jian Yu lowered his head to look at the woman lying on his lap and his shoulders trembled as he slowly stroked her hair, ''She will wake up, won't she?" His voice was barely above a whisper as he asked the question.. 

''Check what she left for you…'' 

The voice made both the men pause and they tilted their head to look at Yu Mei who was lying on the hospital bed. 

Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet and he looked at Yu Mei who had opened her eyes at some point, ''When did you wake up?" He whispered. 

''A few minutes after brother came,'' she replied. Her voice was hoarse.

She tried to sit up on the bed but feeling a little weakness in her body, she found it difficult to move. Jun Zixuan extended his hand towards her and Yu Mei placed her hand in his. He carefully helped her up while looking at her face for any expressions only to find none. There was not even a single tear in her eyes and that bothered him more. 

''Mei…'' At this time, Shi Luo stepped inside the room. Earlier, she came here with Jun Zixuan but she lost control over her emotions when she saw Mia's cold body lying on the floor. It had been only some time she knew the woman but she was close to her and… it pained her to find her like that. 

''Luoluo,'' Yu Mei glanced at Shi Luo. 

Shi Luo walked towards Yu Mei and hugged her. Unable to hold her tears any longer, she sobbed, ''M-Mia is no more…'' she mumbled incoherently in between her sobs, ''I don't feel her breathing,'' No matter what powers Mia had, but she had always been breathing like a human and right now, it had stopped. There were no heartbeats either. 

The woman who always had that mischievous smile plastered on her face was lying lifeless and Shi Luo did not have it in herself to look in that direction.

Yu Mei did not respond to her and she quietly stroked her back. 

Shi Luo pulled back after some time before she wiped her tears with the back of her palm, ''Mei, why aren't you saying anything?" It has been only a few days since she got to know Mia but Yu Mei, on the other hand, knew her for a long time and Shi Luo did not know what was going through her mind. But her expressionless face was bothering her. 

''I don't think anything happened to her…'' Yu Mei quietly glanced at Mia whom Han Jian Yu was holding in his arms. She shook her head, ''I believe she will wake up.'' 

Jun Zixuan glanced at her helplessly. Just like them, somewhere in his heart, he was holding that hope too that Mia will wake up. 

''I think she left it for you…'' Yu Mei said. 

Han Jian Yu tilted his head and he followed her gaze. He looked at the red crystal ring that Jun Zixuan was holding in between his fingers.

''I have the same thought,,'' Jun Zixuan whispered before he extended his hand towards him. 

Han Jian Yu reached for the ring. 

As soon as his fingers came in contact with the ring, a soft glow encased the place and in the next moment, Han Jian Yu found himself standing in a dark place. 

All he could see was a stretch of endless darkness. If it was before, he would have been stunned or worried but at this very moment, he was expressionless. Suddenly appearing at a place like this did not faze him, not when he knew that this place was possibly related to Mia. 

There was instead a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe he will find a way to bring her back, he thought. 

Han Jian Yu walked through the darkness. Despite not being able to see anything, he continued stepping forward until he saw a ray of light in the distance. 

"Jian Yu…''
