Chap. 21: "Regret."
Author's note: Aren't I the most unpredictable author ever? LOL I surprise myself sometimes. I'm sick wahhhhhh, I have the flu and a sore throat. Thankfully I did all my homework last night so I don't have anything to do and my teachers says that our projects are extended YAY.
Um for those of ya'll who don't know what Syaoran found in his office I'll tell ya'll. He found the papers that had Sakura's legal name change on it, proving that she is his wife. He called Renzo and Eriol over because they are lawyers, he didn't them to look it over and see that it was indeed real and not fake.
With that out of the way, on wit da story and chao till next time.
OH THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO GAVE ME THE NAMES, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, LOL AND I'LL USE ONE OF THEM.
"Tears burnt my eyes as I told him those words" Sakura's thought
Yelen and others watched as medic after medic and machine after machine entered Sakura's room. Anxiety and fear building inside them rapidly, Yelen looked down at her granddaughter and was glad that she was sleeping for if she were awake and had a seizure it might have been the last one. "Call Xiao Lang" she panics, Eriol nodded taking out his cell phone.
"Oh god please don't let this happen," Mei Lin whispered holding Tomoyo's hand in her. Tomoyo looked at the door as if in a trance not even bothering to wipe the tears that were streaming down her face away. "Hey what's going on inside?" she yelled at one of the nurses, who came to an abrupt stop. Mei Lin got up dragging Tomoyo with her. "We want to know," she growled on the verge of a nervous break down.
"Cherry has flat lined" the nurse answered before rushing into the room, they stood muted the only sound was that of Tomoyo passing out then Mei Lin after.
"Good lord" Yelen cried her hand flying to her mouth. The Li sisters hugged each other not able to hold back tears, when Syaoran finally appeared. He looked at Eriol and Renzo trying to revive their wives, his crying sisters and then his mother. When she looked at him with the same eyes he saw as a kid when his father had died he knew automatically.
"NO" he whispered heading towards the room in fury, he would murder that bloody doctor for lying. His heart was beating so loud that he couldn't hear a thing, not even the horrible sobs of his family. His heart screamed out denying it, while his brain couldn't brain couldn't process. Every muscles in his body ached, they felt numb and heavy a lead.
"Xiao Lang no" Yelen called after him but he was all ready through the door. "Xiao Lang," she shouted hoarsely remembering how he had reacted when his father had died.
A woman dressed as a nurse listened to what was going on before speaking to her source outside but knew that no one would believe fully because of the previous time. She needed more proof.
Outside.
"We have just received news from an inside source that Cherry has died" she stated making many at home gasp not believing. "I repeat, we have just lost Cherry"
"That's impossible, she can't just die" Lila cried like most of them in the living room. "She's not dead you just watch"
"I know, that's what they thought the last time," Becky added not wanting to believe what they were hearing.
Hospital.
Avalon and everyone jumped when Syaoran burst into the room, he covered Sakura's body before glaring at Syaoran. "What are you doing in here, you can't be in here get him out," he yelled at him. Two of the male nurses walked over to him trying to get a hold of him but Syaoran wanted vengeance.
"You liar you said that nothing would happen" Syaoran growled stacking over to him. He punched one of the guys in the face making the other nurses scream in fear.
"It was a test drug, I didn't know what would happen" he defended.
"You never said death was one of the effects. I'm going to show you one of the effects of lying to me" Syaoran bit out severely making the man sweat before he lunged at the man two other nurses jumped on him trying to pin him down. He was in rage, how could god take her away from him? This wasn't happening.
He was about to kick one off when coughing and the beeping of the machines got their attention. Quickly dispending of the two male nurses he rushed over to Sakura's side taking off the sheet. Sakura inhaled deeply gasping for breath, "Do something," he yelled holding her up to help her breathe. (Just to let ya'll know this happen in seconds)
"Air" she gasped chocking as she clutched to Syaoran's shirt. The doctor snapped out of his trance and got the breathing mask while everyone stared on in disbelief. When he put it on, Sakura took in a big gulp on it coughing but then after getting enough she started to breath normally. Syaoran held her while the doctor checked on the babies, he watched impatiently as he moved it all over her belly trying to find a heart beat.
"Hah, we got heart beats" he yelled making everyone in the room jump some dropping things. "They are fine" he proclaimed "go and tell the rest of his family before they too run in here to kill me" a nurse nodded walking out of the room.
Outside the room.
They all looked up when the two male nurses walked out of the room limping, then a female walked out smiling. "Mrs. Li was just stabilized" she stated making all of them stare at her. The girl inched back slowly towards the door incase she needed to bolt for safety reasons. She jumped when Mei Lin, Tomoyo and the Li sisters started to scream hugging each other then Mei Lin and Tomoyo hugged their husbands. They didn't want to cry anymore, this was the best news they could get. Eriol's phone started to ring making Tomoyo frown wondering who could be calling at such a time.
"Hello?" he answered they all saw him frown then smile nodding. "Okay thank you, yes I'll tell Xiao Lang right away. Bye" smiled hanging up.
"What's the matter?" Renzo asked hugging Mei Lin.
"That was the police chief they have Vanessa and Sinclair in custody" he answered making the girls squeal-praising god.
"Its about time, oh I'll make sure they got more then they deserve" Yelen proclaimed savagely. "They'll know what the consequences of messing with a Li is"
Sakura looked up at Syaoran wondering where she was, she squinted her eyes from the bright light above her trying to focus on his face, only his handsome face looked extremely tired. She could also see traces of tear marks on his face; it couldn't be that he had been crying. "Xiao Lang." she whispered reaching up to touch his face.
"Does she remember?" Syaoran asked the doctor feeling her finger brush across his cheek.
"Not fully," he answered sighing, as walked over to the other side of the room to give them a little privacy.
"How are you feeling?" he asked smiling down at her.
"Hungry and weak, where am I? What happened?" she asked wanting to sit up but Syaoran wouldn't allow it.
"You're in the ER, I'll explain later" he answered seeing the frown on her face.
"Fine but I'm still hungry," she complained weakly but the fiery spirit in her eyes clearly present making him smile fondly.
"I know your hungry Mrs. Li but you have to sleep for a while in order for my drug to wipe out the bad stuff" the doctor explained making sure not the show the needle. She was about to protest against it but wince when she felt the needle.
"Why can't I eat first? I'm hungry and why (yawns) why did---" before she could finish she was all ready asleep but Syaoran know what she was going to ask. 'why did you call me Mrs. Li' he thought grimly.
"Move her into the best private room this hospital has" he ordered, one the nurses nodded walking out of the room. "With an extra bed for my daughter" he added before she left. "What time will she wake up?" he asked resting her down.
"I don't know maybe some time before midnight or before but I know no earlier then 11 and no later then 12"
"Good, I'll be right back" Syaoran sighed walking out of the room.
Outside.
"We have just received information from the doctor who worked on Cherry. She is not after all dead; I don't know what to think. He thought they had lost her but she is not dead, she is alive and resting in stable condition." Lisa said wondering when they would make up their minds.
People who were watching the news turned from crying to rejoicing. Ben and Lila smiled hugging each other.
"I knew it" Becky shouted giggling like she was crazy. They looked at her when she got up. "Well dish out the cash peeps so we can buy her a very nice flower arrangement to tell her how much we missed her" she ordered.
"Great idea" Tao added taking out his wallet. "I'll drive," he offered making everyone stop and glare at him. "All right Ben will drive," he corrected in hurt tone. He wasn't a bad driver he just wasn't the best.
Lin.
It was at least two hours after Sakura's miracle recovery and she wanted to hear Sakura's voice or at least see her awake. "When is she going to wake up grandma?" she asked impatiently looking at Sakura's face intently.
"I don't know Lin, but you need to calm down before the doctor comes in here and puts you to sleep too" Yelen answered placing her hand on her grandchild's shoulders. "I think it's about time we get home," she added softly making Lin groan.
"But I want to stay here for when she wakes up" Lin whined not wanting to leave Sakura's side. "Please?"
"No, we must go home, when Sakura wakes up she's going to want to talk with your father privately" Yelen explained seriously. "They have a lot to discuss"
"But don't you think I should be here just in case they need supervision? I don't want papi to yell at her again and make her cry" Lin explained apprehensively not wanting Sakura to run away like she did when her father yelled at her.
"He won't make her cry, he's not a---" Yelen paused glancing at Mei Lin. "What is that Japanese word dear, the one that means idiot?"
"Baka?" Mei Lin answered smiling.
"Yes, that's the one, your father is not a Baka" Yelen explained making Lin giggle nodding.
"Don't worry Lin he won't do anything stupid. I'm sure he's learnt his lesson" Mei Lin comforted reassuringly making the child sigh seeing that she had no choice but to comply.
"Oh all right but first thing tomorrow I'm having Wei-san drop me here" Lin sighed like an old lady raising her hands in the air making Yelen and Mei Lin laugh. She tiptoed and kissed Sakura on the cheek brushing her hair off her face, "I'll be back tomorrow mother, please forgive father for me and my brothers and sisters" she whispered softly. "Okay I'm ready, where's father?"
"He's down the hall with the doctor and Renzo" Mei Lin answered getting ready to leave since, as Syaoran would be staying with Sakura. Lin raced out of the room and down the hall to say good bye to her father for tonight leaving Mei Lin and Yelen trailing behind, they made sure T was at the door before leaving.
"Are you ready to go home?" Syaoran asked with Lin in his arms, Yelen nodded smiling softly.
"I think I've had enough excitement to last me until the end of my days" she stated making him grin sympathetically placing his arm around her shoulders.
"I think we've all had enough to last us" Renzo commented looking at Mei Lin lovingly, she smiled up at her husband as they entered the elevator.
"How are the news crew holding up outside?" Mei Lin inquired are they traveled down. She knew that it was once in a while heard something juicy about the Li's and they were surely going to make the best of it.
"Crazy, they haven't budged even though it drizzling outside" Syaoran commented dryly when the doors opened. "Wei is all ready out front waiting for you" they all walked to the front and before the automatic doors opened the camera flashes were all ready going off making them shield their eyes.
"Papa make them stop" Lin whined burying her head in his neck. Syaoran tightened his hold on her keeping his mother close to him as they walked to the waiting limo. Wei had the door opened at the other guards held the reporters back; she went in first followed by Mei Lin and Renzo.
"Come on Lin, I'll see you in the morning" he whispered softly bending down. She looked at him nodding before she gave him a kiss and went in.
"Bye father" she said before Wei closed the door, Syaoran nodded before going back inside to be with Sakura. He needed time to think of how to explain to her his actions.
Hong Kong Police Station.
"I want to see my lawyer" Vanessa yelled angrily glaring at the man before her. She glanced that the door when he finally walked in after flying in from Tokyo. "It's about fucking time you got here, what's the bail price at?"
"There's none and even if there was you don't have any money" the man answered sitting in front of her.
"What do you mean I don't have any money?" she asked emphasizing every word slowly.
"Well ma'am" the man stuttered sweating. "Mr. Li, your daughters husband has seized all of your accounts and his wife's," he answered softly wiping the sweat off his baldhead.
"My daughter doesn't have a husband, she married him under a false name you idiot. He has no right," Vanessa bellowed irritably.
"Ah um they were married, your daughter changed her name legally" he replied making her clamp her mouth shut. He pulled out the copies of Sakura's name change and wedding certificate; her hands trembled as she took the papers.
"That little conniving bitch, how could she do this to me?" Vanessa yelled icily looking the papers over. "What are you going to do about this?"
"I don't know but you are being charged for a lot of things, if found guilty you could face spending the rest of your life in prison. Your not only facing kidnapping, use and possession of illegal drug, theft, lying to the police but also five counts of attempted murder on your daughter and her unborn children" he took a breath in looking at Vanessa's reaction. To his utter disbelief she started to laugh uncontrollably shaking her head before she started to scream hysterically making the police come in.
"Let me go" she shouted struggling against them. "I'll going to kill her, I'm going to kill her, she's ruined me"
Later.
Syaoran stood at the window of the room and stared down at the road below, he glanced at the food cart that had Sakura's dinner on it keeping it warm for her. Again the stupid doctor was wrong it was after midnight and she was still out cold. Sighing he walked over to the chair beside Sakura's bed and took her hand in his caressing it lovingly. He had been thinking of how he would apologize to her when she awoke but so far he hadn't come up with anything. Then there was the chance that she would turn him down and ask for an immediate divorce he didn't know how he would be able to live with out her. He rested his head down and the bed closing his eyes, he didn't even realize when he fell asleep.
A couple of hours later, Sakura's eyes slowly opened taking in the darkness of the room. She tried to move her hand only to feel pressure on it, looking down she saw Syaoran fast asleep and couldn't help the smile that touched her lips.
Some things were slowly coming back to her but others were still fuzzy, she remembered him a little but not enough. She knew one thing though and that was that she was in love with him. She had been even when she couldn't remember he was her husband. Even though she knew this feeling it still hurt that he betrayed her by not believing in her. "Syaoran," she whispered licking her dry licks. When he didn't move she repeated hoarsely, "Syaoran, wake up. I'm thirsty and hungry and I can't move because you're on my hand"
Syaoran budged when he felt something tickling his cheek opening his eyes he noticed that it was Sakura's fingers. Slowly he looked up at her face only to see her frowning down at him. "What's the matter?" he asked cautiously. In his entire life she was the only person who had ever made him lose his cool and feel all emotions he so hated.
"MY hand is numb and I'm thirsty but couldn't reach the glass of water" was her answer; smiling sheepishly he reached over for the glass and handed it to her. Sakura took it gratefully and gulped it down sighing in satisfaction; handing back to him she raised her self up still feeling weak.
"Are you hungry?" he asked making Sakura raise a brow at him. "I know dumb question" he defended making her smile nodding.
"What's in that?" she asked watching him walked over to the food cart. Syaoran took what ever was under the silver cover and brought it to her.
"Food, I had it brought in when you were supposed to wake up around eleven but the doctor was wrong again," he answered when Sakura took it.
"How thoughtful of you, when can I leave this place?" she asked straight out. "I want to go home, I've got a lot to do before I take my rest"
"You aren't going back to Tokyo are you?" he asked bewildered. She nodded not looking up at him in fear of seeing what emotion was expressed on his face. If she had she would have seen the horrible look dread, and pain flicker across his eyes.
"I have to go home, I can't let my fans down again," she explained lamely making him look up at her. She was extremely nervous deep down in her bones but she knew she had to do this; she wasn't going to stay unless she knew how he felt deeply. She was tired of being hurt by the people she loved, first her mother and him; if this was the way her life was supposed to be she didn't want to continue.
"Don't want to let your fans down? What about Lin?" he asked softly. "What about Lin and I?" he corrected wanting an answer from her. How could she just want to get up and leave them? He couldn't, he wouldn't allow the woman he loved to leave with his children.
"What about Lin and you?" Sakura replied bluntly making anger boil in him. She saw this and made sure to look at where the buzzer was incase she needed it.
"You're her mother, you said you would be her mother and never leave her," he answered firmly. "You're my wife, and your carrying my children, doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Does it mean anything to you?" she replied easily making him get up and walk away from her. He pushed down the urge to yell cause he knew that it wouldn't do any good. Since he had meet her she had always been able to make him loose his cool, make him reveal his anger but he wasn't going to let her anymore.
"Listen you can leave me and I wouldn't die from it but don't play games with my daughters emotions Sakura" he finally stated looking out the window but in truth he was looking at her through it. "I'm warning you, if you leave and anything happens you her I'll never forgive you, never you hear me?"
"Perfectly, I don't want to hurt Lin but she'll understand that I need love to be happy as well" Sakura stated losing her appetite. "I can't be in a marriage where I'm not loved. I'll be Lin's mother but I don't want to remain your wife, I want a divorce.

"Bye father" she said before Wei closed the door, Syaoran nodded before going back inside to be with Sakura. He needed time to think of how to explain to her his actions.
Hong Kong Police Station.
"I want to see my lawyer" Vanessa yelled angrily glaring at the man before her. She glanced that the door when he finally walked in after flying in from Tokyo. "It's about fucking time you got here, what's the bail price at?"
"There's none and even if there was you don't have any money" the man answered sitting in front of her.
"What do you mean I don't have any money?" she asked emphasizing every word slowly.
"Well ma'am" the man stuttered sweating. "Mr. Li, your daughters husband has seized all of your accounts and his wife's," he answered softly wiping the sweat off his baldhead.

"I don't know but you are being charged for a lot of things, if found guilty you could face spending the rest of your life in prison. Your not only facing kidnapping, use and possession of illegal drug, theft, lying to the police but also five counts of attempted murder on your daughter and her unborn children" he took a breath in looking at Vanessa's reaction. To his utter disbelief she started to laugh uncontrollably shaking her head before she started to scream hysterically making the police come in.
"Let me go" she shouted struggling against them. "I'll going to kill her, I'm going to kill her, she's ruined me"
Later.
Syaoran stood at the window of the room and stared down at the road below, he glanced at the food cart that had Sakura's dinner on it keeping it warm for her. Again the stupid doctor was wrong it was after midnight and she was still out cold. Sighing he walked over to the chair beside Sakura's bed and took her hand in his caressing it lovingly. He had been thinking of how he would apologize to her when she awoke but so far he hadn't come up with anything. Then there was the chance that she would turn him down and ask for an immediate divorce he didn't know how he would be able to live with out her. He rested his head down and the bed closing his eyes, he didn't even realize when he fell asleep.
A couple of hours later, Sakura's eyes slowly opened taking in the darkness of the room. She tried to move her hand only to feel pressure on it, looking down she saw Syaoran fast asleep and couldn't help the smile that touched her lips.
Some things were slowly coming back to her but others were still fuzzy, she remembered him a little but not enough. She knew one thing though and that was that she was in love with him. She had been even when she couldn't remember he was her husband. Even though she knew this feeling it still hurt that he betrayed her by not believing in her. "Syaoran," she whispered licking her dry licks. When he didn't move she repeated hoarsely, "Syaoran, wake up. I'm thirsty and hungry and I can't move because you're on my hand"
Syaoran budged when he felt something tickling his cheek opening his eyes he noticed that it was Sakura's fingers. Slowly he looked up at her face only to see her frowning down at him. "What's the matter?" he asked cautiously. In his entire life she was the only person who had ever made him lose his cool and feel all emotions he so hated.
"MY hand is numb and I'm thirsty but couldn't reach the glass of water" was her answer; smiling sheepishly he reached over for the glass and handed it to her. Sakura took it gratefully and gulped it down sighing in satisfaction; handing back to him she raised her self up still feeling weak.
"Are you hungry?" he asked making Sakura raise a brow at him. "I know dumb question" he defended making her smile nodding.
"What's in that?" she asked watching him walked over to the food cart. Syaoran took what ever was under the silver cover and brought it to her.
"Food, I had it brought in when you were supposed to wake up around eleven but the doctor was wrong again," he answered when Sakura took it.
"How thoughtful of you, when can I leave this place?" she asked straight out. "I want to go home, I've got a lot to do before I take my rest"
"You aren't going back to Tokyo are you?" he asked bewildered. She nodded not looking up at him in fear of seeing what emotion was expressed on his face. If she had she would have seen the horrible look dread, and pain flicker across his eyes.
"I have to go home, I can't let my fans down again," she explained lamely making him look up at her. She was extremely nervous deep down in her bones but she knew she had to do this; she wasn't going to stay unless she knew how he felt deeply. She was tired of being hurt by the people she loved, first her mother and him; if this was the way her life was supposed to be she didn't want to continue.
"Don't want to let your fans down? What about Lin?" he asked softly. "What about Lin and I?" he corrected wanting an answer from her. How could she just want to get up and leave them? He couldn't, he wouldn't allow the woman he loved to leave with his children.
"What about Lin and you?" Sakura replied bluntly making anger boil in him. She saw this and made sure to look at where the buzzer was incase she needed it.
"You're her mother, you said you would be her mother and never leave her," he answered firmly. "You're my wife, and your carrying my children, doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Does it mean anything to you?" she replied easily making him get up and walk away from her. He pushed down the urge to yell cause he knew that it wouldn't do any good. Since he had meet her she had always been able to make him loose his cool, make him reveal his anger but he wasn't going to let her anymore.
"Listen you can leave me and I wouldn't die from it but don't play games with my daughters emotions Sakura" he finally stated looking out the window but in truth he was looking at her through it. "I'm warning you, if you leave and anything happens you her I'll never forgive you, never you hear me?"
"Perfectly, I don't want to hurt Lin but she'll understand that I need love to be happy as well" Sakura stated losing her appetite. "I can't be in a marriage where I'm not loved. I'll be Lin's mother but I don't want to remain your wife, I want a divorce.
