Chapter 262 - Finding FaMo, Not Finding Nemo
Just like yesterday, FaMo stayed with Tristan's office while Zhen-Zhen went to school. FaMo's attitude toward Tristan had improved a little after FaMo heard Tristan's and Hannah's conversation yesterday.
Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan if they could visit Andrew today before he would be discharged from the hospital. She also became worried about Andrew. Since Andrew was her friend she wanted to know if he's already fine.
Zhen-Zhen was the one who could understand Andrew's sadness and pain right now because of Hannah. The two of them witnessed everything. If she was hurting that night then Zhen-Zhen was certain that Andrew felt the same way as her.
At least, on her part, Tristan already cleared everything. But Zhen-Zhen was not sure if Andrew and Hannah had already talked about it. FaMo also informed Zhen-Zhen about yesterday's conversation between Tristan and Hannah.
She felt touched and very happy, knowing that TristanTruly loved her that he even said it to Hannah. Tristan had his closure with Hannah. Zhen-Zhen was really grateful for that. She appreciated Tristan's action.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen agreed that he would fetch her at school after her morning classes and they would visit Andrew together. Her class ended at around 10:30 am. Andrew would leave the hospital at 1:00 in the afternoon.
At exactly 11:00 am, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen arrived at the hospital. Isabelle was also there. Andrew was very glad to see Zhen-Zhen. Tristan and Andrew acknowledged each other with a nod.
"Oh, my beautiful daughter-in-law is here," Isabelle said cheerfully, welcoming Zhen-Zhen with a warm hug.
"Hello, Mom, how are you?" Zhen-Zhen asked Isabelle.
Ï'm just fine, dear."Then Isabelle turned to Tristan after releasing Zhen-Zhen from her embrace.
"Right timing. My son, come and help me process the discharged papers and pay the hospital bills."
Tristan paused for a moment. He was reluctant to leave Zhen-Zhen and Andrew together. He was very possessive and he could easily get jealous if Zhen-Zhen was with another man. But because of his mother's request, he had no choice but to comply. Besides, he trusted Zhen-Zhen.
Soon, Isabelle and Tristan left Andrew's ward. Zhen-Zhen smiled at Andrew, approaching his sickbed.
"Hey, How are you?" Zhen-Zhen asked him worriedly. She sat down on the vacant chair near Andrew's sickbed.
Andrew also smiled at her with a hint of tenderness on his eyes. "I'm feeling better now. My injury is not severe."
But Zhen-Zhen shook her head. "I'm referring to this." she pointed her forefinger to his chest where his heart was located.
Andrew fell silent. He glanced at her with complex emotions on his face. "Don't worry about me. I will be fine Did you and my brother fix the misunderstanding?"
Zhen-Zhen gave him a faint smile before nodding as her response.
"Good. Don't cry anymore. Crying doesn't suit you. You should smile often," Andrew said, trying to sound cheerful.
"Thanks, Andrew. If you need a friend to talk about something, I and your brother are just here for you."
Zhen-Zhen's words had warmed his heart. He somehow felt comforted because of her. "Yes, sister-in-law. I will keep that in mind. Then I will have to bug you both in the future."
"Sure, anytime, my brother-in-law," Zhen-Zhen replied cheerfully.
'My brother is so lucky to have someone like her.' Andrew thought to himself as he watched Zhen-Zhen's smiling face.
"Lillie…"
"Yes, Andrew?"
"Honestly, Hannah and I already talked with each other. I asked for a cool-off."
Andrew began to open up with Zhen-Zhen. He just felt like doing it. It's hard to just keep this inside him. Maybe sharing this with someone could make him feel a little better.
Zhen-Zhen frowned upon hearing that. "Cool-off? What is that mean?"
Andrew couldn't help letting out a soft chuckle after hearing her innocent question. He wondered why Zhen-Zhen didn't know about this word.
"Lillie, it means taking a break from our relationship. Hannah and I decided to give each other space and time to figure out our true feelings for each other. Can you keep this a secret for now? I haven't told Mom and Dad about this."
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head, giving him a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I promise, cross my heart. I won't tell others."
Andrew chuckled once again. Zhen-Zhen's presence could brighten up someone's mood as always. He decided o change the topic. The two of them talked about Zhen-Zhen's school stuff.
**********
Meanwhile, Tristan and Isabelle were about to pay the hospital bills when Tristan received a call from Agent Phoenix. He excused himself first to answer the call.
Tristan: "Hello Agent, do you have any updates regarding FaMo? Did you find him?"
Tristan sounded excited. He was eager to know whether Agent Phoenix succeeded in finding FaMo.
Agent Phoenix, on the other hand, was scratching his face. 'Why do I feel like it is easy to have a mission about 'Finding Nemo' than 'Finding FaMo'?
Agent Phoenix: "Sir Tristan, sorry about this. I already mobilized my resources but still, I couldn't find FaMo."
'Can I just find Nemo?' Agent Phoenix added to his thoughts.
Tristan's excitement disappeared quickly upon hearing that. He heaved a deep long sigh.
Tristan: "I couldn't delay this anymore. We have to do something or else, my wife will be sad once she learns about this. Agent Phoenix, find a substitute cat in the meantime. Bring it to me this afternoon. Make sure it looks similar to FaMo. After you find a substitute, you can still continue searching for FaMo. Is that clear?"
Agent Phoenix: "Got it, sir! Leave it to me. I will start finding a black fluffy cat that looks like FaMo."
Tristan: "Good. This is a very important mission. I hope you can fulfill it. I don't want to make my wife sad."
Agent Phoenix: " I understand, sir. I will do my best!"
After the call, Agent Phoenix realized the main reason why Tristan asked an agent like him to find this cat. He was even willing to pay a high amount of money. It turned out this was all because of his wife.
'Wow, Sir Tristan dotes so much on his wife. What a thoughtful husband he is?!' Agent Phoenix smiled at that thought.
"Yussh. I must find this cat no matter what!"
