Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao tapped his knuckle against his forehead. He knew something was up with Guan Jing but he had no time to look into it. His wife was already in the third trimester and the attending doctor suggested that she should look to deliver the baby within the next two weeks. Zong Jinghao was racing against the clock to have Lin Xinyan examined by a better doctor before that.

He picked up the landline at his office and made a call.

Though the hospital Lin Xinyan visited was already considered the best in the country, Zong Jinghao still felt worried. He could not afford to be negligent, because his wife and child were too important to him.

He requested to meet with Mr. Wang, the head of the hospital.

And Mr. Wang agreed to see him.

Zong Jinghao walked out of the office with his cellphone after he ended the call. He loosened his collar with one hand as he searched through his contact list with the other. He made his representative at the overseas branch of his company to help ask around for capable doctors around the world. It was not that he did not trust local doctors; he just wanted a second opinion.

When he reached his representative, he explained Lin Xinyan’s situation.

“I’ll send the information over.”

Upon hearing that, Zong Jinghao ended the call.

He then pressed for the elevator. As he was waiting, Guan Jing came up to him.

“Mr. Zong.”

Zong Jinghao looked at him. “Are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“No…”

“Let me know when you’ve made up your mind.” The elevator doors opened and Zong Jinghao walked in.
