Chapter 188 - Trapping The Rabbit
He swallowed as he put down the phone and cut the call.
"Liu Ji Fan"
He heard his name being called again and closed his eyes with a regretful sigh. Why did it never come to his mind that Tian Yuan will come back to this room …why did he choose to talk about such a thing here only?
"Liu Ji Fan."
Tian Yuan shook his shoulders when he didn't hear any response.
Slowly and slowly, Liu Ji Fan finally turned around and looked at the man he loved dearly. Inside his heart, he was very scared to see Tian Yuan's reaction.
What would he become in his eyes?
"Why are you not saying anything? I am calling for so long. Now come with me. The doctor wants to talk about something and he wants you to be there also."
Tian Yuan said with a frown that showed his displeasure very clearly.
He doesn't understand when the talk was about his mother then why does the doctor want Liu Ji Fan to be present there?
Wouldn't it be enough for him to be there?
On the other hand, Liu Ji Fan looked at Tian Yuan with a shocked face. Tian Yuan was talking very normally.
Looking at his stupid and dumb but beautiful face, Tian Yuan felt the irritation and annoyance inside his heart increasing only and said
"Now come …otherwise I am going alone."
He said and turned around to leave the room.
However, Liu Ji Fan's eyes went dark when he saw Tian Yuan showing his back to him and leaving the room alone. He immediately stood up from the chair he was sitting on and grabbed his hand.
"You are not going anywhere without me."
He said as he dragged Tian Yuan outside the room with him.
Tian Yuan just rolled his eyes at his unreasonable behavior while Liu Ji Fan secretly felt grateful inside his heart that Tian Yuan didn't hear anything.

"What? Why do I need to sign this?"
Tian Yuan asked the doctor as he looked at the papers in his hands …in his trembling hands.
The paper said that the hospital, as well as the doctor, will hold no responsibility if something goes wrong during the surgery or if something happens to the patient during or after the surgery. These papers needed to be signed by Tian Yuan because he was the only blood relative of his mother.
Liu Ji Fan's eyes flashed with pain when he saw him like this and gently took away the papers from his hands.
"Speak."
He said to the silent doctor as he threw the papers at the table rudely.
The doctor seemed to be very calm as if he had already seen many people behave like this.
"Mr. Li and Mr. Tian, you might know but these documents need to be signed by the patient's relative before every surgery regardless of whether it is a small one or a big one. The hospital just wants an assurance that the doctor will not be blamed if something happened to the patient. After all, anything can happen in the surgery."
Tian Yuan's eyes went wide with fear and he whispered suddenly.
"Then I don't want my mother to undergo this surgery."
After saying this, Tian Yuan stood up and ran away from the office leaving Liu Ji Fan alone.
Liu Ji Fan sighed when he was sure that Tian Yuan had left and looked at the doctor coldly.
"Do you think that I have called you here to sign these documents?"
He asked the doctor coldly.
The doctor was about to open his mouth and say something but Liu Ji Fan raised his hand to stop him and said
"I will make him sign these documents. But don't think that it can save you if something really happened to Aunt Tian."
With these words, Liu Ji Fan left the office while the doctor heaved a sigh when he finally left with the papers.
Liu Ji Fan found Tian Yuan inside the hospital room where Aunt Tian was admitted.
Standing at the door of the room, Liu Ji Fan looked at his slightly shaking back and instantly knew that he was crying.
His heart clenched as he thought how many times Tian Yuan had cried like this when he was not there to hug him tightly in his arms.
He turned around suddenly as he felt his eyes moistening.
Rubbing them for a few moments and after breathing deeply a few times, he took a paper from the inside of his coat's pocket.
Liu Ji Fan put them between the papers he had picked from the doctor's table.
As he closed them properly, he licked his lips and exhaled sharply.
Finally, he stepped inside the room.
"Baby"
Tian Yuan heard the deep voice and instantly started to wipe his tears. However, he was trying to hide from the wrong person.
Soon a hand patted his head softly and he heard Liu Ji Fan again.
"It's okay. Everything will be alright."
The words made Tian Yuan's eyes again fill up and he suddenly turned around and hugged Liu Ji Fan's waist tightly.
He was sitting on the chair and Liu Ji Fan was standing behind him so he could easily bury his face in Liu Ji Fan's stomach as he cried and sobbed.
Liu Ji Fan could feel his shirt getting wet with Tian Yuan's tears but he didn't move even a bit. He just patted Tian Yuan's head softly and said comforting words.
Inside his heart, he was feeling helpless, afraid, and painful.
But he couldn't show all this to Tian Yuan.
It was after a very long time that Tian Yuan stopped crying and pulled away from Liu Ji Fan.
He didn't meet Liu Ji Fan's eyes and turned around to look at his mother. Liu Ji Fan understood that he was feeling embarrassed and silently dragged the chair to sit beside him.
Silence lingered in the hospital room for a few minutes before Liu Ji Fan opened his mouth and said
"You know …he is the best doctor I could find for Auntie."
Finishing his words, he looked at Tian Yuan waiting for his response. Tian Yuan didn't give it for a few moments but nodded his head softly later.
Liu Ji Fan sighed in relief and continued gently
"Yuan, If we wasted this opportunity then perhaps, we will never be able to talk with Auntie again."
Tian Yuan's eyes flashed with panic as he looked at his mother and then he immediately lowered his head.
He was also afraid and didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
Inside his heart, he was also hopeful that if the surgery went well then he would be able to hear his mother's voice again. However ….the fear after seeing those documents …Tian Yuan now couldn't think of anything else.
It is better to have his mother in this state rather than losing her completely.
At least he could still feel her presence in his life.
"Baby…"
Tian Yuan came out of his trance when he heard Liu Ji Fan speaking to him again. His hand was held firmly by Liu Ji Fan and he said
"Do you think that I will let this hospital and that doctor continue their work if something really happened to Auntie?"
Tian Yuan's heart was shaken by these words and he slowly raised his head to look at Liu Ji Fan. The black eyes filled with sincerity made his heart skip a beat.
A tear unconsciously slid out of his tear-filled eyes that Liu Ji Fan instantly wiped away.
"The tear in my darling's eyes …whoever becomes the reason for them, your Ji Fan will destroy him." Liu Ji Fan said gently with his eyes full of love.
A moment later, he smiled as he stroked Tian Yuan's cheek and said
"I have said this to that doctor as well and he looked very afraid after hearing me. Believe me, he won't dare to do any mistake. Now we can't scare him too much also otherwise who knows if he started to tremble while doing surgery…"
Tian Yuan smiled secretly at Liu Ji Fan's feeble attempt of making him laugh but Liu Ji Fan still noticed his smile.
With a sigh, he took out the papers from his pocket again and put them in front of Tian Yuan.
"Here sign this otherwise the surgery will not be done tomorrow."
Tian Yuan's eyes flashed with reluctance for a moment but under Liu Ji Fna's insistence, he took the pen from his hands and finally signed the paper.
With signed papers in his hands, Liu Ji Fna smiled deeply as he patted Tian Yuan's head continuously while saying
"Good boy …good boy."
Tian Yuan frowned at his sudden change of behavior and threw his hand away however Liu Ji Fan didn't feel angry at all.
He was happy … very happy.
But Tia Yuan couldn't understand his happiness.
How could he?
He didn't even know that he has just sold his freedom to the man sitting beside him.
The rabbit was trapped pletely.
