[A/N: 3 chapters from today! I will try my best! So, help me with all you got! Let's fight together!!!]

Han Luo was happy to be able to talk to Ma Rui face to face. She smiled brightly and cheerfully sang, "You are worrying too much, mom. Look, I'm all better. Even the scars are fading away. I can be released from the hospital anytime I want."

"That's good to hear," Mo Zhen spoke. He got back from Australia and hurried here. 

He sat beside Ma Rui and placed a hand on Han Luo's head. "I should have hired some bodyguards to keep you safe. It was my negligence."

Han Luo denied quickly, "No, no, dad. You must not do that. I'm fine, aren't I?"

Mo Zhen stated, "You almost got killed. I heard that you helped the police to get that thug but he was working under an order from someone. It means someone else is after you. You are in danger, Luo'er."

Han Luo tilted her head. "Why do you think that?"

Mo Zhen explained, "One day you mentioned something about the stalker. We tried to track him down but only got his corpse. It turned out that he was killed by those gangsters the other night."

"Does that mean I witnessed his death that night?" Han Luo's eyes rounded in surprise.

Mo Zhen affirmed with a gloomy face. "I think so too. I reprimanded Xiao Yuan for keeping such a thing from us. We could have helped you. Luo'er, don't hide things from us. It's for your own good."

Han Luo played with her fingers before answering, "I will try not to but I'm worried. What if something happens to you to protect me? I don't want you to get hurt."

"My baby Luo'er is so cute!" Ma Rui hugged the girl.

Mo Zhen smiled. He thought that he was blessed to have a girl under his care.

He cleared his throat and mentioned, "By the way, I heard that Elder Tang asked for your hand in marriage. Did you think of answering him?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ma Rui blinked. She had no clue about this marriage proposal. 

Apparently, knowing that she would go nuts about it, both her husband and son kept quiet about it and didn't let her know. 

When Mo Zhen narrated the whole situation, Ma Rui looked at Han Luo with wide eyes.

She abruptly held Han Luo's hands and asked, "Luo'er, my sweet child, you are not going to agree to this, are you?"

"I haven't decided on it yet," Han Luo became nervous by Ma Rui's sudden change of behavior.

"What are you going to decide?" Ma Rui asked. She couldn't believe that someone was trying to take her treasure right under her nose.

Mo Zhen pulled back his wife and said, "Luo'er, Yujin is a good boy. We don't mind if you choose him. Just make sure that you will be happy with him."

Ma Rui snapped. "She is only fourteen. This isn't a Disney movie or fairy tale. What does she understand about happily ever after?"

"Mom, I will take care of it," Han Luo assured her.

Nonetheless, Ma Rui wasn't happy about Elder Tang trying to snatch away her precious.

Seeing that Ma Rui was uneasy, Han Luo smiled and hugged her. "Mom, I won't do anything that will hurt me. I'll choose a happy path for myself."

Ma Rui tightly shut her eyes and hugged the little girl. 'If that's what makes her happy, I will bless her. She only needs to be happy,' she prayed for her best friend's daughter.

"Hello Yujin, good morning," a fifteen year old girl knocked on the door.

Tang Yujin was looking outside the window. Upon hearing a soft tone, he turned around and saw a girl.

She is average looking. Her height is around 5'2". She has hazel colored eyes, dirty blonde hair, and pale skin tone. She is half English, half Chinese.

"Ling, good morning, and please come in," Tang Yujin politely said.

Ling Brown was a patient here and she had met Tang Yujin two weeks ago when he often came to visit Han Luo.

He bumped into her accidentally and her mug broke. To compensate her, he bought her a better mug.

That's how they got acquainted.

Ling Brown accompanied him every day after he was admitted here.

Ling Brown sat on the chair and stated, "That was quite a mess last night. I was worried about you."

Tang Yujin closed the book that was in his hand and said with concern, "You shouldn't pressure yourself too much. Take care of your heart."

Ling Brown slightly smiled and announced, "My father said that I got a heart donor."

Tang Yujin was surprised before smiling at her. "Congratulations! After your heart transplantation is done, you won't have to worry about anything anymore. I'm glad you will finally be able to be released from the hospital and travel all around the world and play the violin."

Ling Brown looked down shyly. "Thank you. I'm so happy that I'm scared. The doctor told me to have faith in God. I will do that. I'll go to the church today and pray for both of us."

"Thank you, Ling," Tang Yujin was forcing himself to smile.

Ling Brown saw through his smile wither her good observing skill. She commented, "You don't seem happy today. Did something happen? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but sharing will lessen your burden and pain."

Tang Yujin hesitated. He didn't have a habit of expressing his thoughts to others.

However, Ling Brown was an innocent girl who embraced everything and everyone. He couldn't just let her go empty-handed.

He opened his mouth and told her, "It's about my marriage proposal."

"Oh, you once said that there is a girl you like and you want to get married to her. What's wrong? Did she reject you?" Ling Brown asked. She felt bad for him even before he said anything.

Tang Yujin shook his head. "No, she didn't. Last night I realized that she wasn't someone I used to know. She is quite different.. She knows martial arts and she is rather violent. I think I…"
