Chapter 356 - 356: That’s Torture! (1/2)

After figuring where the couple are heading, the woman took it upon herself to lead them to it for convenience's sake—and also because her daughter fervently insisted after deeming this couple as her new big brother and sister.

”Excuse me if I might sound intruding, but I couldn't just help but feel like I've seen your faces before.”

”Maybe they're celebrities too, momma!” Her little girl suggested. ”We have a lot of celebrities here. Some are a meanie, but there's also some who are really kind.”

”Sorry to disappoint, little one, but my husband and I are just entrepreneurs.” Technically, Lillie wasn't lying.

”En-entre-entrepruner?”

”Business people, darling.” Her mother helped.

”Oohhhh!”

Arriving in front of the doctor's unit, the mother and child waved goodbye to their new friends. ”It was very lovely to meet you two, even if it was only for a short while.”

”Bye-bye, big sister, big brother! If you're going to visit Doctor Haohao again, come visit us too. There's our room.” The little girl pointed at the other door situated at the farther end of the hallway.

”We'll hold you to that, then.” The couple waved goodbye at the mother and child until they disappeared into their room.

Lillie and Ethan didn't gave their names to the mother and child, but so did they.

Nevertheless, it is for the best. The less people who knew where they are, the better. Lillie's pregnancy must be kept a secret just until they're certain everything is smoothed out.

Pressing the doorbell, it didn't take long before the door opened and Song Zhihao greeting them with a serious expression.

”Please come in.” He opened the door further. Closing the door behind him after they walked in, Song Zhihao lead the couple to the living room.

He offered the two apple juice and pastries he got from a really popular bakery nearby.

”To start, I apologize for nearly endangering yours and your baby's lives, Miss Bai.” Plopping down on the armchair across them with tired huff, Song Zhihao apologized to Lillie, bowing his head.

”Something like this is not easily forgiven, Doctor Song, I hope you understand why I'm being stubborn.” Lillie rested her hands on her knee, her legs crossed out of mannerism, schooling her usual domineering character.

The gentleness she wore while speaking to the little girl and her mother was completely wiped off.

”No, no, please,” Song Zhihao's eyes widen in surprise and shook his hands wildly. ”I understand completely. Miss Bai has every rights to be upset. I would never hold it against you if you choose not to forgive me.”

Song Zhihao reminded himself who he is dealing with. He couldn't afford to let his guard down or mess up around Lillie Bai even if she is his good friend's fiancee.

Albeit, he doubts Ethan could do anything to stop her from skinning him alive. He might even join her, the whipped b*stard.

A She-Devil, he reminds himself.

This is what Lillie Bai is known for. A cold, merciless, and tyrannical woman who wouldn't hesitate to end you if you've done something unforgivable to her and everyone who she holds dear.

And he, Song Zhihao, just happens to do both—even if it wasn't completely his fault.

So, imagine his relief and astonishment to find his head still attached onto his neck, especially since he's in one room with the devils themselves.

Song Zhihao thinks he's the only one who came out alive after seeing the rage in the She-Devil's eyes. Twice. The first would be when Ethan was hospitalized due to an old injury that he kept secret.

”Apart from apologizing, you mentioned that you have someone you wanted us to meet.” Ethan recalled. ”Get on to the point, Zhihao. What are we really here for?”

Impatient as ever, his good friend is. Song Zhihao thought with a mix of fondness and helplessness.

”There's a reason why Miss Bai's results didn't turn out the way it should be.” Standing up, Song Zhihao beckoned the two to follow him.

”I'm not asking for an excuse by showing you this.” Stopping in front of a large decor on the wall, Song Zhihao ran his hand over it until he found what he was looking for.

There was a soft beep, and then the wall opened.

A secret room, huh.
