A Moment in Destiny

Sure enough, when Leila arrived at the top floor, there was no one in the corridor, the secretary was not there, and only the president's room was lit. Was he working overtime alone?

Before she even entered the office, she heard one cough after another, each one hitting Leila in the heart. At this moment, her heart hurt so much. He was the man she loved, the man she had loved secretly for years, the man she finally married, but also the man she had to leave. From then on, was she still qualified to care for him?

As her fingers trembled and reached out to knock on the door, she finally stopped! Hesitantly, listening to the coughing, she didn't walk in after all.

Instead, she sent a message to Arthur: Arthur, Vincent is sick, can you take him to the hospital?

After sending the message, she hid to the side of the corridor and waited anxiously for Arthur's reply.

And in the president's room, the constant coughing sound was so clear. The low cough echoed back and forth in the dark corridor, tugging at her heartstrings. She was so worried!

Just, between them, was there still a need for such entanglement?

This kind of love was like collecting the silk of silkworms little by little, and it hurt too much!

She finally understood that unrequited love was a kind of utter loneliness. There was sweetness, there was happiness, but, what was more was the heartache of being alone. When the love was gone, the heart was empty!

She would rather her love for him had always been a secret love! Even if he knew everything, she would rather lie to herself and tell herself that it was still a secret love and that nothing had happened!

Her phone rang, and it was Arthur calling. The phone rang only once and Leila hurriedly picked it up lest Vincent hear that she was right outside the office. She answered the phone in a low voice, "Hello?"

Arthur's voice came from the other end of the line. "I know Vincent is sick, and I've got a doctor for him. Didn't he have an injection? I'll check it out, where are you?"

"I...I'm at home!" Leila whispered. "He's in the president's office with a severe cough. You go check it out! Please!"

"All right! Don't worry and leave it to me!" Arthur was decisive. "I'll definitely take him to get the IV!"

Vincent, who was in the president's office, seemed to hear Leila's phone ring, but then he shook his head and thought he must be coughing until he was experiencing tinnitus and hallucinations! Then there was another coughing fit, one louder than the other.

It took Arthur twenty minutes to get here.

During the twenty minutes, Leila hid at the stairway, listening to the coughing sounds coming from the president's office, her heart burning with anxiety. When she finally heard the elevator bell, she immediately concealed herself while Arthur strode toward the president's office, "Vincent, you're coughing so badly, do you want to cough yourself to death?"

"None of your business!" Said Vincent, with another coughing fit. "Cough ––"

"Let's go see a doctor, you need to see a doctor!" Arthur didn't give Vincent a good-natured look, "You think I love coming to you? It was Leila who called and told me!"

Vincent was stunned instantly, and there was a consternation on his face, followed by a bitter smile. "How is this possible?"

"Why not?" Arthur frowned, and it was only then that he saw Vincent's lifted face, and he realized that not only was Vincent coughing, but even his eyes were red, seemingly the symptom of a high fever.
