Imperfect Desires

750 I Don't Like Loud People

Apart from Dr. Ling Wanwan, Xin Zimen also arranged for two of the best neurologists for Darren. Dr. Philip had been called from the UK for Xiu only. He had even gone as far as arranging the top gynecologist and psychologist for Xiu. Everyone was given a room in the villa to stay in to make it convenient.

Xin Zimen didn't want to take any risk with either Xiu or Darren's life. That's why the security around the villa had been top-notch. Even his own house didn't have as many security personnel as this one did. Everywhere you would see, you'd find people in black suits, wearing black shades, standing upright without even moving an inch.

However, both Xiu and Darren had yet to wake up. And that was something Xin Zimen couldn't control. The doctors said the longer they stayed unconscious, the higher chances of dire repercussions. It left him so restless that he had been just pacing around without knowing what else to do.

While pacing around, he reached the second floor where Ying was. Since her injury wasn't life-threatening, he could at least put his heart at ease a little. She was staring blankly out the window when Xin Zimen came to her room.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

Ying slowly returned to the present and gave him a lazy smile, "Zizi, I'm the last person you should be worried about right now." She looked him up and down before scowling, "More than me, you look like you might faint any minute. Why don't you just sit down? Take some rest? How will you carry on like this?"

"I can't see her smile," he said softly. "I can't see them both scattering dogfood all around." He sat down beside her and went on, "I can't see Regi's eyes looking at her like his whole world was sitting before him. And I can't see her brightest eyes smiling back at him as if trying to challenge his love with her own."

Ying grumbled, "Who would miss that? Isn't it good that we don't have to see them being mushy all the time? They gave me cringes with their intensity of love. Even the way they look at each other from across the room is like they are flirting. It's torturous!"

He smiled gently, "But I never mind it. Looking at them like this really made me realize once again, how beautiful love felt. Since all I'm left with is the void it created in my heart."

Ying couldn't say anything to him now. She knew he was worried but she couldn't help it. He patted her head and said, "Take a good rest."

"Why? I'm gonna need it?" she asked in return.

He looked at her and nodded, "Disciplinary committee is gonna sit next week. I'll try my best to..."

Xin Zimen pursed his lips but didn't say anything to her.

Meanwhile, the first thing on Monday morning that Clara Cartwright did was get court orders against Qiu Meihui. And after that, she came to the hospital with a group of police officers and her team of lawyers.

Seeing the entourage, both Zhao Wei and Qiu Jiayi weren't really surprised. What actually surprised them was how fast they came over. But unperturbed, Clara didn't even give them a look before she directly barged into Meihui's room where Liu Nuan was helping her with the breakfast.

As soon as they saw the police officers, they were scared silly. "What... What are you doing? You can't just barge in here like this!" Liu Nuan tried to stand up to stop them.

A female officer pushed her aside and put handcuffs on Qiu Meihui's wrists saying, "Ms. Qiu, you're arrested for the attempted murder of Mr. and Mrs. Salvay. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in the court."

Qiu Meihui was still in a daze and only woke up when the cold metal of the handcuffs sent of shiver down her spine. She shouted, "Mom! Dad! Where are you?! Save me! You all can't take me like this! I didn't do anything! She... She provoked me first!"

"Ms. Qiu, I advise you to stay silent. We have the court orders, no one can save you at this point." The officer kindly put forth her advice.

While Liu Nuan tried to make a scene along with Qiu Meihui, Clara said in a cold voice, "Officer, don't tell me you can't manage a puny little girl? Get her out of her right now before I really lose my patience and become the judge of her life myself!"

The officers dragged Qiu Meihui out where Zhao Wei and Qiu Jiayi were still frozen still watching blankly. Qiu Meihui tried to run up to her parents, "Mom, save me! I'll do just as you say. I'll forgive you for everything. Just save me this once, please!"

Zhao Wei looked broken as she leaned against her husband and didn't say anything.

Not getting the reply, she wanted, Qiu Meihui's eyes turned cold, "Of course, you won't save me! You never loved me anyway! What kind of parents are you?!"

Clara rolled up a piece of paper and put it straight into Qiu Meihui's mouth, "You're loud. I don't like loud people!"

She watched as they dragged Qiu Meihui away and looked at Zhao Wei and her husband. Stepping up, she said, "I know you'd hire a good lawyer for your daughter. Even if it's futile. But let me give you a piece of advice free of charge, don't try to submit the report of Recurrent insanity[1]. It won't help her. Because if you did submit that report, I'll make sure to send her to a mental asylum for her life! Either jail or asylum, the only choice she has is behind the bars! Let me see how she ever walks out of this!"

[1] Recurrent insanity: A legal term, not a psychological term, used to classify someone in court as recurrently/intermittently criminally insane, which therefore lightens their sentence.
