Chapter 388 - The visit (2/2)

”Hey, Red, what's wrong, are you okay?” an a.d.u.l.t male's voice called out to her and she jumped up in fear, holding the rest of her blanket tightly to her c.h.e.s.t.

”What are you doing here, sir? Don't you know that this is breaking an entry? How did you even get in?!”

She asked him with a shaky voice, even more frightened that he was smiling at her. Her thoughts were completely disjointed at the moment. She felt like she was hallucinating.

”No, it's not. Gu Zhou let me in, right before he left for school. I mean, I assume he would have left by now. He did mention wanting to finish a game first,” Edward said mischievously.

He had been unable to focus on anything back at home. He had called Amy's office and when no one answered, he phoned the front desk to inquire about her. He was informed that she had not clocked in for the day.

The voice on the other end shakily added that they had thought the Edward and her had probably gone off to some meeting elsewhere.

They were still apologizing profusely for the unintended slip up when he, against his better judgement, decided to bring himself over to Amy's house.

”Who are you?” Gu Zhou had asked when he got the door minutes back.

”Just tell your sister Edward is here to see her,” he had responded. He tried to put on his superior air, but he was shaking like a leaf, in truth.

”Oh, you're the mean one who's always stressing my jiejie and keeping her till late at night, eh? Do you know the last time she made me dinner? I can't even remember,” Gu Zhou said.

Edward just stood there, his mouth slightly agape. So that was what Amy had told everyone about him, he thought sadly. He could hardly blame her though.

”Come in and sit down. I think my sister is still sleeping but I'll tell her her boyfriend is here,” Gu Zhou said, chuckling in the mischievous ways of an almost teenager as he ran off to find Amy.

Edward had walked into the living room and shown himself to a seat, he regarded the humble apartment with eyes of wonder. He was usually surrounded by so much affluence that he almost never remembered that people still lived simply like this.

He got up and walked over to the portrait of Amy's parents. He was still staring at it when after what felt like an eternity, Gu Zhou reappeared and announced that Amy would not wake up, but that Edward was free to go into her room to try and make her open her eyes.
