Chapter 142 Still living in a dream (1/2)

Mika parked the car in front of the mansion. Her body felt so weak but the thought of meeting her Ryn boosted her energy. She handed the car key to the butler and skipped into the building.

She did not bother to go to the living room or the outdoor swimming pool. She straight went to the stairs to go upstairs.

She needed to talk with Ryn. She wanted to discuss what that stinky doctor told her. She needed comfort and soothing.

She bumped into Jeremy on the way to upstairs. She frowned seeing him already willing to get out of his room.

”Ryn is still in her room?” Mika asked.

”She seems tired. Don't bother her tonight,” Jeremy grabbed Mika's hand and pulled her downstairs.

”But I need to talk with her,” Mika begged.

”She is resting. Stop bothering her with silly reason,” Jeremy was firmed with his words and pulled her with him toward the dining room.

The butler was watching how the maids were arranging the dishes. Then, he and the maids gave a bow at the Long siblings before excused themselves from them.

Jeremy and Mika took their seats. Despite not wanting to follow Jeremy downstairs to eat, seeing how much food the Cook prepared for them, her stomach growled.

”Ryn is not feeling well. You shouldn't bother her too much. Let her rest.”

”But...”

”Tomorrow I will go back to the company.”

Mika nodded dumbly. Her mouth was full with food as she chewed happily.

”How's your session today?” Jeremy asked absentmindedly. His attention was too at the food. He wanted to finish his meal quickly.

Mika stiffed.

”Mika?”

Mika refused to answer.

Jeremy put down his chopsticks and looked at his little sister, cocking an eyebrow, ”Do you want me to call Dr Xena Wong instead?”

Mika's eyes widened. She quickly shook her head.

No. Don't ask that crazy doctor.

”Mika?”

Mika chewed her bottom lip sadly before opened her mouth wide, well, not really.

”Just like usual...” she murmured weakly.

”Are you sure?”

Her lips trembled. Without another moment she opened her mouth wide and wailed, ”Dr Xena bullied me again. She forced me so much until I get so tired and exhausted and... and...”

”How much chocolate did you get this time?” Jeremy asked, cutting her off.

”Not much...” Mika wiped the tears off her cheeks.

Her big brother was so evil. He did not even feel pity over her misery.

Mika wanted Ryn to soothe her. Surely Mika would understand her sadness.

*~*~*~*

Ryn woke up with a grumble, scratching her arm. The mosquitos here were quite hungry tonight. Her arms were so itchy, it woke her up from her sleep.

So miserable!

She finally stood up and walked into her room, closing the sliding door carefully. No mosquitos should enter her room, especially when she was sleeping.

Her hand rubbed her stomach absentmindedly. It was growling in hunger but she had no mood to eat.

Actually, although she was hungry, the thought of facing everyone made her losing her appetite. She was not ready to receive those sympathising look from everyone, especially from Jeremy and Mika.

She sighed and sat at the edge of the bed. Even though her mother did not say anything about it, but she knew her mother was reluctant when she knew Ryn was staying at Jeremy and Mika's place.

They were from two different worlds but she was acting as if she was from the same world as theirs.

The incident was not an excuse for her to forget who she really was.

She had been living in a dream. A dream where economy status was not important.

She stood up and walked to the wardrobe. The wardrobe was full of branded and expensive clothes, which none was bought by her. It was all gifts from Jeremy... and even Mika. They were not who she really was.

She closed her eyes and tried to stay calm.

Maybe this incident was God will to make her realize she needed to wake up.

And she was.
