Chapter 15: Lu Lei

Sara woke up. Her head felt heavy. She couldn't help but curse. All she wanted to do was stir up Anna's emotions by crying a little, why did she fall sick? This body was really too delicate!

She stood from the bed.

"What are you doing?" A man's voice came from the side of the room. Sara looked in that direction and saw a handsome man wearing a white coat. Sara couldn't help but drool. His black wavy hair fell to one side of his face. His eyes were thin and slanted, giving him a feline look. He had wide shoulders and a slim waist. His eyes were dark; it trailed over her, giving her shivers.

Sara, who had an affinity for beautiful things was instantly attracted. Suddenly, joy filled her soul and she knew it was the remnant of the Host's soul. Seemed like she and this doctor were close. Sara closed her eyes and sorted through the memories in her mind. A second later she opened her eyes and pounced into the man. "Brother Lu!"

"Took you so long." Lu Lei opened his hand and hugged the young girl. He rubbed her head dotingly. "How's my little miss?"

"Brother Lu Lei..." Tears immediately dropped from Sara's eyes.

"No you don't." He flicked her head.

"Ow!" Stunned, Sara held her head.

"It was your tears that made you sick, yet you still want to cry again? Have you forgotten how delicate you are?"

Sara pouted. Lu Lei was one of their former servant's son. One day, the five year old Sara had seen the ten year old Lu Lei being bullied by a bunch of fifteen years old. She ran over and chased away those boys. Since then, she and Lu Lei became inseparable.

"Don't cry. Brother will help you take revenge."

Sara immediately smiled. "Brother Lu Lei is still the best! Tell me, what did you bring back for me this time?"

"You only know how to request for things!" Lu Lei knocked her head.

Sara touched her head. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. She was strangely not resistant to this man's touch. He felt like her biological brother. He made her feel like a baby just like her brothers did. Remembering her brothers put Sara in a sad mood. She really needed to finish up with this family and go to the Capital. Those stinky things that made her die would surely still have a plan for her family!

"What're you thinking about?" Lu Lei reached out to poke her head.

Sara hurriedly protected her head with her hands. "Brother Lu Lei! Are you trying to make me stupid?"

"Aren't you already stupid?"

"Brother!"

***************

"Sister, you're finally down." Tara smiled when she saw Sara coming down with the doctor by her side. Her eyes light up when she saw the doctor's face. It had been dark last night so she didn't notice, but this doctor was so handsome! If she could have him at her beck and call, it would be good!

"Good morning doctor. Sorry, to keep you waiting for so long. You haven't had breakfast right? Please join us." Tara bowed.

Lu Lei nodded and drew out a chair for Sara. "Sir, Madam." He greeted.

"Thank you for your patience Lu Lei." Anna was grateful.

"It's my duty." Lu Lei smiled. Tara was mesmerized by his face.

"How're you baby?" Anna held Sara's hands. She stroked her hair and checked her temperature.

"Mom!" Tara was jealous. "If you keep checking sister like that, it means you aren't convinced of Doctor's skills!" She hated seeing her mum touching another girl!

"Stop talking nonsense." Anna frowned.

Tara pouted aggrieved. "I was just joking."

"Enough, let's eat." Derek commanded. The food was served and they began eating.

"Lu Lei, it's been so long. You're finally back from overseas. How's Aunt Shu?" Anna smiled at the thought of the elderly helper.

"My mother is fine." Lu Lei smiled politely. "Auntie, if it's fine with you, I'll like to bring Little Sara to play."

"You're her doctor. Since you feel you can then go ahead." Anna smiled graciously.

"Mom, you know each other previously?" Tara asked.

"Lu Lei's mother used to work here. Lu Lei and Little Sara are friends." Anna explained.

Tara rolled her eyes. "Then can I go out and play with them? Sister is still sick so I can watch over her."

"Are you a doctor?" Anna stared sharply at her. "How are you going to help?"

Tara bit her lips. "I understand." She gave off a sad feeling.

Derek couldn't stand seeing her so sad. "Go along with them."

Lu Lei frowned and opened his mouth. Suddenly, a little hand grabbed his under the table. He turned his head to see Sara blinking cutely. He smirked. Seems like this little girl wants to cause trouble again.

Derek noticed Tara struggling to eat. "Can't you eat properly?" Derek frowned.

"I'm trying to but my wounds still hurt. The doctor was called up by sister and even had to sleep near sister. I was left with no one to help me." Tara complained. "Who asked me to be the eldest one sadly?" She laughed.

Derek looked disapproving. "Wasn't it only a small fever? Why not chew some medicines? And why didn't you let your sister see the doctor?" He turned to Sara.

"I don't remember tying her feet." Sara smirked. "And it's just a wound. Why not just disinfect it? We've lots of people around who can do such a simple task."

"Are you challenging me?" Derek slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"Dad, enough. A visitor is still here. Besides sister didn't mean to do it on purpose. When Doctor Lu is done eating, we'll take a look at my wounds."

"I think there's a mistake here, Auntie." Lu Lei put down his napkin.

Tara almost spat out blood. How dare he call her auntie?

"I came here only because I was told it was the young miss of the Zhen family. I never knew it would be a unimportant person like you." Lu Lei continued. " I was willing to help you only because of little Sara."

"Lu Lei!" Derek shouted. "What is the meaning of this?"

"I only acknowledge one Miss Zhen and it's certainly not this one." Lu Lei smiled. "So dump all fantasies of me treating you. I'm Sara's personal doctor."

Tara gritted her teeth angrily.

Derek wanted to talk but Anna waved him off. "It's fine Lu Lei. If it weren't for Sara, we wouldn't even have a chance to see you. Thank you."

"It's fine Auntie." Lu Lei saw the way she stood up for Sara and immediately changed his way of addressing her.

Tara could only swallow her anger.

After breakfast Tara hurried upstairs to change into a short orange gown and applied makeup. Then she pulled on her heels.

She ran downstairs and saw Sara and Lu Lei about to leave.

"Wait for me!" She yelled. In her hurry she missed a step and came tumbling down.

Sara immediately took her phone out and snapped a few pictures.

Tara felt embarrassed. She stood up shakily and dusted her clothes.

Lu Lei took one look at her clothes and laughed.

"If someone didn't know, they'll think you're going on a blind date." Sara looked her up and down.

Tara pursed her lips. "This is my normal style."

"Whatever." Sara couldn't be bothered with her. She held Lu Lei's hand. "Brother where's our ride?"

"Here."

Sara squealed when she saw the motorcycle. "So beautiful!"

"Come here." Lu Lei helped her fix her helmet.

Tara looked at the scene and felt her heart burn. The two were wearing matching black shirts and jeans, while she...

Lu Lei straddled the motorcycle.

"Brother Lu!" Tara screamed. "How am I supposed to come along?"

"You insisted on intruding, we didn't complain. Now you want us to find a ride for you?" Sara cocked one eyebrow. She stretched one long leg and jumped on the motorcycle. "Doesn't work that way princess."

"Hold on tight." Lu Lei said. Sara gave Tara a provocative look as they sped away.

Tara stumped her feet. " Where's the driver? Quick follow that motorcycle!"
