After I agreed, Ming seemed to want to say something. I heard his other cell phone ring. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wait a minute. I have to answer the phone.” Ming didn’t hang up. I heard him answer the phone and say, “I’ll be right there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then he picked up the phone and said, “I’m sorry. There’s an emergency in the hospital. I have to go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK, you can go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I responded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hung up and soon heard Ming open the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I opened the door, too. He was dressed and waiting for the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He smiled when he saw me. He came up and hugged me. “Wait for me to come back. Remember the birthday present you promised me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” I nodded and hugged him. “I’ll wait for you to come back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Ming wanted me to accompany him for one day, I still thought I had to prepare a birthday present for him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next morning, Ming didn’t seem to come back. I sent Lester by myself and went shopping. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The clerk at the counter recommended me countless gifts in the morning, but I didn’t like them very much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming was not a business person, so ties and cufflinks were not suitable for him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t know what else to send him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was about to find a place for lunch, my cell phone rang. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was my personal cell phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And it was Linda! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I answered the phone at once. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She asked me out for lunch. We chose a western restaurant not far from both of us. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By the time I arrived, she had arrived. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today Linda was wearing a well cut cape and skirt and high heels. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Five years ago her hair was black, long and straight, but now it was brown and curly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Linda saw me, she said, “I didn’t expect Becky, the famous designer, to be you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little diffident. “My master is famous, not me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In recent years, Murray no longer designed. I did design and he just taught me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But he gave me all my contacts and resources. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt like I had been living in his shadow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda smiled and said, “it’s lucky to have a good master.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Where have you been these years? You quit when you came back from the resort. I always wanted to contact you.” I asked Linda. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, we talked about what happened to us in recent years. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After Linda resigned, she went to study abroad. There she met her present husband. It wasn’t long before they got married and had children. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her husband returned to the United States because of his work, so she came back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She came back and took only one job. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She designed Tang Time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remember going to Tang Time that day. Jonas promised to give me information about the designer, but he didn’t. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I met Linda first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda told me that in order to develop in York, she planned to take part in a design competition at the end of the year and gave me the information. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing this design competition, I was also very excited. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a chat, we decided to take part together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda and I seemed to have a lot to talk about. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was already four o’clock when I got back to my senses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She and I were going to pick up our children. Besides, I hadn’t bought a gift for Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda knew I was going to buy Ming a present. She suggested, “I think you can think about stationery. Doctors use it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her words reminded me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda took me to a famous stationery store. All stationery in it could be engraved with names. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I chose an ink blue pen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had the owner engrave and pack it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I said goodbye to Linda and went to pick up Lester. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tomorrow was Ming’s birthday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid Lester would break Ming’s birthday present. I put it in a very high place. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the evening, I called Ming when I started cooking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His cell phone had been off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hadn’t seen him in nearly 24 hours. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was not long, but after I came to York, Ming would contact me no matter how busy he was and accompany me to dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seldom did that! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help feeling uneasy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I cooked and had dinner with Lester. During this time, I had been calling Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But every time the result was the same. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard the cold system sound, “the phone you dialed is off…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had a bad feeling. Was something wrong with Ming? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Lester was at home. I couldn’t leave Lester alone, and I couldn’t take him to the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could only endure. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said to Lester before he fell asleep, “Lester, I’m going out to find Uncle Jessop. I’ll be back soon, so be obedient, you know?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lester was very obedient and nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was sure he was asleep, I put on my clothes and went out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a taxi to the main entrance of the Sunshine Hospital. I found a lot of police cars parked outside the hospital! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood outside the yard and saw the hospital gate blocked! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I saw this scene, there were countless guesses in my mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was there a murder here! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I rushed to the door and tried to get in. A policeman came directly to stop me. “I’m sorry. No one can enter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What happened? I am the fiancee of the president of this hospital!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was the first time I had ever told someone about my identity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman looked at me and hesitated before he said, “no, even if you are a family member, you can’t enter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then can you tell me what happened in the hospital?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It didn’t matter if I couldn’t go in. I had to know what happened and whether Ming was OK! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, I had made the worst plan in my mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, Ming’s cell phone had been off for so long. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman looked at me and hesitated and said, “wait a minute. I’ll report.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then he took out his cell phone and made a phone call. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He hung up and asked me, “how can you prove your identity?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned by the policeman’s words. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could I prove that I was Ming’s fiancee? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman seemed to see that I couldn’t prove it. He said, “I’m sorry. You can’t prove your relationship with the dean. I can’t tell you anything.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How can I prove that I am his girlfriend!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was very worried. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. This is the rule. Don’t embarrass me.” With that, the policeman turned and wanted to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He had his back to me. Without hesitation, I crossed the cordon and rushed straight to the hospital! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
