Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 133 Took an oath

———
*click*
Yue Ling quietly closed the door. She had just finished explaining everything to her grandfather. From start to end, she did not leave anything out. Not even what happened to Ting's parents or the unknown group that showed up.
She decided to leave, because she knew her grandfather wanted to stay with Jingxu.
Although, she didn't mind leaving because she still has one more thing to do before going home.
———-
Getting inside her car, she dials Liu Shan's number.
["Boss."]
"Have you locate Ting?"
["I have, he was admitted to Union Hospital."]
Yue Ling starts her car and drives out of the military hospital parking.
"What about Detective Zhi?"
["She's heading there now."]
She stare indifferently to the road in front of her, "Alright. Make sure that group doesn't find anything about us."
["I'm already on it. Lin Hui also made sure we weren't followed."]
"Mm. Destroy all the footages from Ghost Gang's warehouse. I don't want that world to know what I did."
["Got it."]
Yue Ling ends the call. She will definitely meet Detective Zhi and makes things clear.

In one of the rooms in Union Hospital, Ting who had came in unconscious slowly open his swollen and bruised eyes.
Seeing the unfamiliar white ceiling, he frown. The ceiling now is different from the dark ceiling he had been looking at...
"Heh..."
He chuckles quietly at himself.
Before he lost conscious, he had seen a angel appear in front of him... She must have came to guide him to Heaven... to be with his father and mother....
"Ugh."
He suddenly groan when he felt the sudden pain from his right leg. It hurts so much....
Wait, isn't he dead? How can he still feel pain?
Finally looking around the room, he was shocked. He wasn't in heaven.. he's in the hospital...
But how?
Didn't the beautiful angel come get him?
*knock knock*
Ting slightly turn his head to the door as it opens. Seeing a tall and slender figure walk in, his eyes widen.
Of all the people in the world, why is she here?
Wait.... why does she resemble the angel he saw before he lost to darkness?
Ting ignores the aching pain in his body and moves to sit up. He doesn't want this person to see him like this. Anyone but her....
"Don't move. You haven't fully recovered from your wounds."
Hearing the most soothing voice to his ears when he first open his eyes, Ting's eyes turned moist.
Besides his mother's voice, this person gives him a safe feeling....
His lips tremble and he stare at the woman. He looked like a child who had just been in a horrifying nightmare....
She is his goddess....
"A-Are you really here to see me?"
Yue Ling's heart soften and smiles warmly at Ting. His question was enough to let her know he was still in doubt.
"Mm. I'm here to see you."
Watching the famous supermodel Han Yue Ling approach him, Ting felt like he can be the happiest fan in the world. However, it was also proof that she was the angel he saw. He wasn't an idiot. Even if he didn't get a clear view, if she is here then that was the proof for him.
His goddess was the person who save him and Jingxu.
"Thank you, Miss Han."
Yue Ling arch a brow at the boy. Did he really know it was her who saved him?
She had purposely left him back there because she didn't want to bring attention. Lin Hui had said the unknown group was not foe. So she had decided to not take him. She did feel bad for leaving him, but after they left, she had Liu Shan keep an eye on his location.
Even if she left him to those people, she had a gut feeling they would help him. She had also left Ti Lung for those people to deal with.
Looking at Ting, Yue Ling felt heartache for him. She lost her parents too, but their death was not traumatizing as Jingxu's or Ting's.
She may have lost her parents, but at the time, she still had both her grandfathers.
The Ting she got to know is a sweet boy, just like Jingxu.... how will he see the world now?
However, one thing she knows is, she wants him to know that he is not alone in this world.
Reaching the side of Ting's bed, Yue Ling pulls a chair from the side and sits down beside him.
Ting looks at Yue Ling, he couldn't help but get a warm feeling. The feeling an older sister gives to her younger brother...
How great would it be to have a sister like her....
Suddenly remembering his parents, sadness and sorrow took over.
"My parents... were they saved?"
Hearing the one question she had hoped him would not to ask, Yue Ling's bluish green eyes turned into grief. She may be a blunt and opened minded person, but now... how is she supposed to tell him? To have to face reality, he would have to face the truth that his parents are no longer here...
Ting knew the answer just by seeing Yue Ling's silence. He knew his parents were gone, but he still wanted to ask.
He wanted to see if there was a possible chance that his parents had survived too...
Unfortunately, everything was the truth and the truth hurts...
Ting: "Those people... what happened to them?"
Yue Ling: "Gone. They won't be able to harm you anymore."
Ting nod his head, then, "What about the other kid? Jingxu, is he alright?"
"...."
Not getting an answer, Ting felt guilt and pain in his heart. He slowly looks to the white ceiling.
"I had told him to run.... but he didn't.... what a silly kid to try and help....."
Yue Ling smiles inside. Liu Shan had told her about a footage he caught. Ting had tried to distract the men so Jingxu can escape, but she knows her brother. He wouldn't run to save himself, even if he was scared.
"He's fine. Although, his condition is still unstable."
"....."
Ting stare in disbelief at Yue Ling. He had thought the kid didn't make it, but he actually did?
He sigh in relief, "That's good. He's a good kid to help someone like me. You know, he said he is from—"
*knock knock*
Both Yue Ling and Ting looks at the door.
A pretty woman with dark curls in a light gray suit walks in. She had a detective badge pinned to her suit pocket.
"Sorry for intruding."
This woman is pretty, but her aura and looks were inferior to Yue Ling's.
When Ting saw the woman, his expression turned dark. Turning his head the opposite way, he stares out the window. He doesn't want to see this person. Not only her, but anyone from the police station.
"..."
Yue Ling smiles at small smile at Ting. She sighs inwardly and stands up. Looking at the woman, she nod her head.
"Detective Zhi."
Zhi Yilan nod her head back in greeting. She glance at Ting and guilt grew more in her. This young man was the one who had come to ask for help...
Looking at Yue Ling, she points to the door.
"Can we talk outside?"
"Mm."
Yue Ling follows behind Zhi Yilan. Reaching the door, she looks back at Ting.
"Get some rest. I won't let anyone you don't want to see disturb you."
Zhi Yilan frowns when she heard Yue Ling's words. She had come here to ask Ting some questions about what happened. However, with Yue Ling's given words, how is she supposed to look into this case now?
Hearing Yue Ling's promising words to him, Ting slowly close his eyes. At the same time the door closed and the tears he had been trying so hard to hold in, finally falls. His tears slowly staining the pillow.
————
Outside of the room, Yue Ling and Zhi Yilan walked to the far end of the hospital hallway. Zhi Yilan stops and turn around to face Yue Ling.
"How is he?"
Yue Ling glance at Zhi Yilan, "How would you feel? He asked for help and you people ignored him."
Her tone was her usual calm tone, but it was still enough to make one have chills.
Zhi Yilan ignores the hair standing on her arms, "We tried our best."
"You tried your best by turning a blind eye."
"...."
Zhi Yilan did not know what to say. Yue Ling's words were the truth, but she did try her best. She had tried to convince the higher ups to take on the case... it was just, they wouldn't. At least, not until the Lu family got involved.
"Yue-yue, you know that it's not in my authority to make unauthorized calls. I couldn't just—"
"They were innocent people, Yilan. Innocent people who lost their lives and left their only child behind, because you people didn't want to help. Now that boy will only see, that no matter what happens, he can never turn to cops for help."
Even though she knows she is wrong, Zhi Yilan was half angry at Yue Ling's words. How is she supposed to explain her situation to Yue Ling?
Pinching the space between her brows, she takes a deep breath.
"What was I supposed to do then? I could have lost my job for going against protocol."
Yue Ling stare at the woman standing in front of her. If she was not a friend, Yue Ling would have ended this woman's life for being so stupid.
"Zhi Yilan, you took an oath."
Zhi Yilan: "I know I took an oath. You once took it too, you should know how it is."
Yue Ling: "I did take the same oath. However, I never once turned a blind eye just because of a job."
Zhi Yilan: "....."
"For that oath, you should do your job properly."
Yue Ling didn't want to stay and chat anymore. Her purpose in meeting Zhi Yilan is done. She turns back to the way they came from and leaves.
However, taking three steps, she stops. With her back facing her friend, she gives a warning.
"I gave my words to Ting. No one is to disturb him. Not even you."
"...."
Zhi Yilan watch her friend leave in speechlessness. What is she supposed to do now?
In a complicated situation, she scratch her head.
Ahh!! Her friend is angry with her and she can't go see Ting, because going against Yue Ling's words is the biggest mistake one can make.
Sighing, she decides the best thing to do now is try to make it up Yue Ling.
