1198: The sooner the better.

The sooner the better.

After Lillian got out of Zhang Xiaotong's room, she was first to find the corner to pull out her phone and make a call. Although the call wasn't answered in the first few rings, it was received before it could be disconnected.  2

"Hello, doctor. It's Lillian this side." The moment the call was received, Lillian was the first to speak the itinerary. "Do you remember me? I discussed with you about my friend who was suffering from a very serious case of obsession and depression." 

She added and the moment she said that it was like the doctor had recollected their meeting. "Oh yes, yes, Ms. Lillian. I remember that. How is your friend right now? Has she been fine?" 

The last time when she has seen Zhang Xiaotong acting weird, Lillian has gone to discuss her with the doctor. Although she has not revealed her name, she has stated all of the things very fairly to give an idea of the situation to the doctor. She has also shown the prescription of medicines the girl was used of taking before. 

And seeing that prescription, the doctor has not been very favorable of her condition. He has even declared her to be very serious. 

And now that he was asking her again about Zhang Xiaotong's condition, Lillian was not sure how and what she should answer him. Hesitating at first, she rubbed her fingers before speaking, "I cannot be sure of her state any longer doctor. She looks all fine to me but still somewhere I feel like she is hiding something inside her and not letting any of us to see. Though she doesn't look vulnerable, in her gaze there is a different kind of light that I have never seen before." 

"And not to forget, that it has been liked more than weeks since she has not taken any of her medicines. I don't know if she is fine as she is saying herself to be." Lillian said, really doubtful of the things. She has been the person working and following Zhang Xiaotong for more than six or seven years now. And this long span of time was enough to make her know everything about the girl and grow affection for her. 

And that care and affection was the reason why she was so concerned for her even after getting shunned by her numerous times. 

"Ah, if she is really not taking her medicines, I can't even imagine how worse her situation must be getting with every passing day. This is serious. The chances of her getting mentally unstable are also very easy. Get her hospitalized as soon as possible because, in such a state, she is not just dangerous for herself but also for the people around her." 

The doctor said and his words like that dreaded Lillian to her core. "Dangerous?" 

She asked, and from the other side, the doctor hummed. "Yes, dangerous for she has not been taking any dose of tranquility in her system. In such conditions, if the patient doesn't have any intake of tranquility pills in their system, their state worsens, to an extent where they could harm the people around them." 

He said and Lillian was all stiffened by those words. 

No, no, she couldn't hold it anymore. She has to tell it all to Mrs. Zhang. The sooner the better. Taking that thing seriously in her thoughts, Lillian disconnected the call before turning around to walk straight to Zhang Qian Lan. 

But her bones stiffened while her movements paused when her gaze caught up with Zhang Xiaotong, who has been standing just behind her. Since when … she didn't know. 

Was she there for long? Has she heard her conversation with the doctor? She had no idea.

While at the same time on the other side, Li Xue was out to make a call to Feng Shufen. But the people around her were making it so tough for her, testing her best patience. Wherever she was turning or moving, they were moving along with her. Like they were her shadow who would not leave her even in the darkness. 

Having really enough of them, she took a deep breath in before turning to face them. "Sorry people, but could you please step aside for some time. I am here to make a call to your boss. With you guys following me around like you are doing, it won't be possible."

She said and one of them came to answer her with utmost politeness. His head bowed down in respect of her. "Madam, we are just following Boss' orders." 

He said and Li Xue pursed her lips at him. "I can see, you are doing so. But I am asking for a little privacy. It's not like while you guys would move a bit distant from me, some assassin would fly to me and assassinate me in the blink of an eye. That won't be happening so please just do a bit of cooperation before I ask your boss to send you all back to homes." 

She requested but no matter what she said, those people didn't budge. Now she understands what it meant when Qi Shuai said that these bunch of people won't agree to any word until it's coming from Feng Shufen itself. 

Sighing at the situation she was struck in, Li Xue had no other option but to call Gao Fan like that only. The rings went by as soon the call was connected. 

Before Li Xue could say anything, Gao Fan greeted from the other side, "Good morning, Madam. Please give me a moment, I will hand over the phone to President Feng straight away." He said and his words sounded so easy, that for a moment Li Xue really wanted to slap herself for forgetting this way of reaching Feng Shufen. 

But all the guilt of forgetfulness washed away when once again her gaze caught sight of the people around her. Feeling irritated with them around, her fingers clenched on the sides, curbing the annoyance before nodding to say in a soft voice. 

"Yes, please Mr. Secretary. There is something really serious, I want to discuss with your President Feng. Help me by getting him on the call."
