Lu Feng held his mother’s hand in his and spoke, “No mother. I know you always wished good for me because you loved me the most. I am sorry for disappointing you always. I am going away to do what my mother always wished for me.”
“Really? So you….”
“I had planned something long back, but situations didn’t allow me to leave, but now, finally, it’s the time to make my mother proud,” Lu Feng informed as he interrupted his mother.
“I want nothing else but to see my son there, where he deserves to be.”
“I know, mother, and I will do it only for you.”
Realizing, her son still loves her, Su Hui broke into tears, and Lu Feng hugged her as he instructed.
“Mother, don’t trouble Yuyan because she is already going through so much pain. She is the one who made me decide to leave. You should be thankful to her.”
Wiping her tears, Su Hui spoke. “Even if you hadn’t told me, I had stopped it while back as I know I was venting it out on the wrong person, and I could see nothing but my son. In the end, I decided to give up on you too, but now you came with this when I turned into a bad woman.”
Lu Feng smiled as he looked at his mother. Noticing him smiling, she frowned and asked, “Why are you smiling?”
“Because I know my mother is not a bad woman. She just loves her son so much not to think about others, and she is just a little more stubborn than her son. I wonder if I inherited this stubbornness from my mother as the father is always so soft and polite.”
Just then, the voice disturbed them.
“You are right, Lu Feng. It’s your mother’s trait that inherited in you as she is the most stubborn person in the world.”
Lu Chen entered the room after listening to the conversation between the mother and the son, as he understood what was going on.
“You too,” Su Hui frowned.
Sitting in one chair, Lu Chen asked, “Where are you leaving for?”
“City S,” Lu Feng replied.
Just then, Su Hui spoke, “Your aunt is there so…”
“He is not a kid who needs elders with him. Let him be on his own,” Lu Cheng interrupted.
“But….”
“Mother, don’t worry. I would be fine. I have arranged everything already.” This time Lu Feng interrupted her.
Su Hui agreed, “Do you want me to come with you?”
“No, mother. I want to be alone for a while. Once everything is done, I will call you there once in a while,” Lu Feng informed.
Agreeing, she asked, “When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow,” Lu Feng replied.
“Hmm!”
Greeting his grandparents and uncle and aunt, Lu Feng left the Lu Mansion after getting few essential things with him, and one of those was the photo frame on the table in his room in which he hid his and Jiang Yuyan’s picture from childhood days.

Lu Feng went to his apartment and packed his stuff. In the night, he went to meet Jiang Yuyan, who was as usual busy with the surgery and made the hospital as his home.
After finishing the surgery and on the time he gave to Lu Feng, Jiang Yang was waiting for him.
Lu Feng arrived at the hospital, and when he entered Jiang Yang’s cabin, all he could see was his tired friend who didn’t want to accept he was actually tired.
“Seems like while healing your patients, you have planned to kill yourself,” Lu Feng commented and sat in the chair opposite to him.
“Don’t worry, this friend of yours is tough to get affected like this,” Jiang Yang countered as he picked up one of the coffee mugs in front of Lu Feng and had another one.
“Hmm, I can see that,” came the sarcastic reply from Lu Feng.
Smiling, Jiang Yang ignored his remark and asked, “So what brings you here at this hour? Who troubled you this time?”
“Your sister,” Lu Feng replied.
“That’s nothing new. My sister has been troubling your mind and heart for many years,” Jiang Yang commented.
“She knows what I feel for her,” Lu Feng informed.
Jiang Yang gave out a sigh of relief as she was happy hearing it, “Finally, but how?”
“Because of my blabbermouth friend.”
“Other than me, who is another friend?” Jiang Yang asked curiously.
“It’s you only. Thank god you at least accepted you are blabbermouth,” Lu Feng commented.
“That I am. Now tell me.”
“That day in the lounge when she was sick, and you were advising me on marrying her, she heard it all.”
“Damn…umm..but I am happy. She should know it. Until how long one can keep everything buried? Now you are free, my friend. So now what?”
“I am leaving the city,” Lu Feng answered calmly, as he sipped the coffee.
Jiang Yang exclaimed. “What? Why?”
“She made me realize it’s time for me to leave everything behind and start a new life.”
“If she is finally able to do this, then I am sure she must have done something unexpected that the stubborn person like you finally listened to her,” Jiang Yuyan concluded.
“You know everything always,” Lu Feng commented.
“Hmm, now tell me what exactly she did. I want to know how amazing my sister is that she could change you.”
“You won’t like it,” Lu Feng countered.
“As long as it’s for your good, I don’t mind. Now don’t make me wait. After tiresome surgery, I want some gossip,” Jiang Yang instructed, ready to hear it all as he sipped the hot coffee.
“You won’t change, Jiang Yang.” Mumbling, Lu Feng narrated the whole thing to Jiang Yang, who later had shocked expressions on his face when Lu Feng finished.
“Are you kidding me?” came the reply from Jiang Yang.
“No.”
Jiang Yang sat quietly for a while as both continued enjoying the coffee. In a while, Jiang Yang spoke as he sighed deeply.
“Only if this care from her could be changed in love for you.”
