Chapter 134 - Beautiful Monster. (1/2)

Author's Note: Yes you're a monster, a beautiful monster and you're mine. My beautiful monster.

-Lei Zhao

Lei Xiao Tong slowly looked at Lei Zhao's face. She raised her shaky hands and brought it to Lei Zhao's face cupping his cheek.

Lei Zhao smiled and leaned into his mother's palms.

”Mom..”

Hearing her son's voice, Lei Xiao Tong's stomach and throat tightened.

Fear grabbed unto Lei Xiao Tong.  She wanted to ask how, why? But she couldn't.

More tears spilled began to spill from her helpless eyes but the tears weren't for the death of her son. No, it was for the feeling of being wrong.

Lei Xiao Tong felt like fate was playing with her. She could still feel the emptiness in her heart.

The sheer of nothingness that coursed through her soul and the helpless feeling like the weight of the world was on her heart.

As a mother who had lost both of her sons the numbness that washed over her made her lips trembled until she bit them.

”Please-say something.” Lei Zhao began to panic when he saw his mother just looking at him without saying anything.

Lei Zhao turned to look at his father for help.

”Honey, see our son. He is alive not dead.” Mr. Lei said softly as he placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.

”Mom-are you okay?” Lei Zhao asked as worry etched in his voice.

Lei Xiao Tong nodded and finally a smile spilled from her lips.

”My Little Zhao is really alive.”  She said as she turned to look at her husband standing beside her.

”Yes, yes. Your Little Zhao is alive. How can I die? I still haven't taken you for a walk along the beach when you get old.”

Lei Zhao smiled as she said.  Lei Xiao Tong cried and laughed at once when she heard him.

Tears of joy of having her son back mingled with tears of relief of seeing him again.

Lei Xiao Tong turned her head squarely towards her husband and grasped his hands on her shoulder.

Lei Zhao wiped the tears under his mother's eyes and planted a kiss on her cheeks.

”Sorry Mom. I made you worried.” Lei Zhao mumbled.

”You're back that's the most important thing. Where is Yan Mei? You should contact her, I'm sure she must be worried about not hearing from you.”

Lei Xiao Tong said anxiously.

”She is here Mom. Look.”

Lei Zhao said as he pointed at the door. Yan Mei was awkwardly standing there as she fidgeted.

She felt like she was intruding on their happy reunion.

”Mom..” she squeezed out a smile awkwardly.

Lei Xiao Tong frowned when she saw Yan Mei's puffy eyes.  She felt like Yan Mei had lost weight

”XiaoMei, what happened to you? Come here let mom look at you.”

Yan Mei walked inside the room and greeted Mr. Lei.

”Dad..”

Mr. Lei nodded and smiled softly at her.

Lei Zhao stood up from the floor and sat beside his mother on the bed.

”XiaoMei are you okay? Why is your eyes puffy?”

Lei Xiao Tong asked with concern in her tone.

”I'm fine Mom. It just…”

Yan Mei trailed off. She didn't want to tell Lei Xiao Tong that Lei Zhao died and she nearly killed a team of doctors due to her rage.

”Were you scared that something had happened to Lei Zhao?”

Lei Xiao Tong asked.

Yan Mei nodded, ”Yeah, he wasn't picking my calls and I couldn't reach him. I thought something had happened to him. But fortunately he is okay.”

Yan Mei said as she looked at Lei Zhao who was ardently staring at her.

Lei Xiao Tong nodded, ”Lei Zhao you're now back. Go home with Yan Mei and rest. Tomorrow we will talk.”

Even though Lei Xiao Tong wanted to talk to his son, she knew the young couple needed time to talk.

Lei Xiao Tong was afraid Yan Mei would misunderstand her son. So she wanted them to go home so that they could talk.

She held Lei Zhao's hand and squeezed it gently.

”Remember to coax XiaoMei. A wife goes through a great agony when she doesn't hear from her husband for days. Especially when she is afraid that something happened to him”.

She whispered in his son's ears before turning to smile at Yan Mei.

Lei Zhao nodded and stood up.

”Mom, I will see you tomorrow.”

”Alright. Remember what I told you.”

Lei Zhao nodded, said goodbye to his father and walked out the room with Yan Mei.

Lei Zhao came downstairs to meet Jun Mo and Henry Liu standing in the living room. Because he was in a hurry to see his mother he didn't pay attention to his friends when they reached the house.

He rushed to his parents room, the moment he got down from the car.

Lei Zhao looked at his elegant friends whose eyes were puffy and had dark circles and he raised his eyebrows.

”What happened to you? You look awful.”

Edward Wu rolled his eyes and leaned against the sofa.
