Chapter 345 - Box of memories (1/2)
Flash back
Country B's military hospital...
In the VIP room of the hospital, a woman dressed in yellow was waiting patiently for the man sleeping on the bed to wake up.
He was not under sedation but just sleeping, yet she chose to wait instead of waking him up.
On either side of the woman, two furry dogs were lying with their head rested on her lap only for her to run her hands through their fur as she enjoyed touching their fluffy fur.
Perhaps the man sensed someone's presence, his eyes slit open only to find a beautiful woman sitting in front. Her presence like sunshine, illuminating the boring room of the hospital with a new life.
Gosh, how happy he is to see her, his pain just flew out of the window.
”Xiu Mei….”
She quickly got up from the sofa and helped him to sit. ”How are you feeling now, Uncle Ghost?” On seeing him nod she sat down beside him. ”I spoke to the doctor before coming here; your second reconstructive surgery went well. Just one more surgery left and you are all set to go for another adventure with me. How about we try amazon forest this time?”
She saw him chuckle and gave a fake smile that didn't go unnoticed from Ghost's sharp eyes. ”You brought all this?” Xiu Mei followed his gaze that landed on the vase decorated with red roses and a huge basket of fruits and dog biscuits.
”Yes… But I have something more” saying she placed a document on his lap.
Reading the very first page Ghost's face was filled with disbelief. She has done a DNA test on him and Kong Da…. When?
In the morning Wang Shi gave her the reports, proving Ghost and Kong Da as brothers. Without wasting any more time she heads straight to the hospital to confront Ghost about everything.
”TH-This….”
He saw her picking up a box from the floor and pass it to him without a word. For some reason, Ghost started to feel uneasy.
Lu Xion's men found the box in Kong Zhi's house. They were shocked to see Xiu Mei's pictures in it and instantly bring it to their boss's knowledge.
Just when Ghost oped the box the content made him breathe through the mouth, his lips pressed into a thin line. The box contained his most treasured possession that is Alice's pictures that he had shot sneakily over the years while she was in Country B.
The way pictures had turned yellow with corners rolled inside it tells how frequently they were touched.
The box contains a few more things that would be a waste for others but he valued it more than his life.
”We found this box at your home, Uncle Ghost….. Or should I say General Kong Zhi or how about I call you….” She gulped feeling a lump in her throat. Her voice quivered as she spoke meekly, ”Da…d…da… Dadda”
