Chapter 143 Searching for a new house (1/2)

Ryn took off the bandages and smiled bitterly at the scars. They were barely visible but being a model, somehow Ryn was a bit worried about her own career.

She sighed and shrugged it off. Would it make the scar away if she was fretting over it?

She did not even put another fresh bandages before she grabbed her cap and bag. She needed to see the house and Mei Li would help her with this. Mei Li also would help searching for a new house for her, somewhere that was safe enough for her to live alone but at the same time easy for her to move around.

The butler was observing the maids when she walked down the stairs. They quickly greeted her politely and she replied with a smile. None actually dared to ask her where she was going, only greeting her politely.

Ryn did not have to wait long. Just as she walked through the door, a car came and stopped right in front of the house. Ryn smiled seeing the familiar vehicle.

”Are you ready?”

”Hmm...”

”Let's go, then,” Mei Li unlocked the door and waited for Ryn to get comfortable in the car, pulling her safety belt, before she locked the door back and drove the car away.

”Are you sure about this?” Mei Li asked again.

She was still shocked when Ryn told her last night. She tried to change Ryn's mind but the girl was firmed with her decision and refused to change it.

Ryn was quite stubborn when she made up her mind.

”We should see what we can pack first and then look for a place to keep everything,” Mei Li listed.

”Hmm...” Ryn just looked outside the window. Honestly, she was still uneasy to return to the house she shared with her parents but, after talking with her parents this morning, they all agreed with her decision to see the house and find another one to live in. They cared more about her happiness and safety, rather than the house they bought after years working.

Now, her parents worked solely for their living expense. They have finished paying the house and no longer focussed their attention at how much they earn.

After an hour, they finally reached in front of her house. She looked at the building silently. Instead of feeling safe, she could not help from shivering.

”Are you okay, Ryn? Can you do this?” Mei Li asked when she noticed the shiver.

Ryn took a few deep breaths to calm herself. She could do this. Nothing could stop her from moving forward.

”Yes, I can do this.”

Mei Li did not say anything. She just waited for Ryn to gather her courage before got out of the car. Mei Li followed, still silent.

Slowly Ryn unlocked the door. She, with Mei Li following behind quietly, walked slowly into the house. She looked around with her eyes started to get wet.

Had she made a hasty decision?

She spent almost two years here. Albeit her life was a bit boring but these were all her memories with her parents. She felt... sad... to leave this place full of memory.

”Are you sure you want to do this? We can just rent a place until you feel better,” Mei Li said carefully.

Even if she was renting out, she had doubt she would still feel safe here. The memory of that man, even though he was no longer in this world, still feel creepy to her.

”Let's check first,” Ryn finally said and went into her bedroom.

She looked around silently. Was she ready to move out?

”Just pack your daily clothes first. I have made an appointment with a property agent at 10.00 am,” Mei Li said, looking for bags to pack Ryn's belonging.

”How many properties will we check today?” Ryn asked as she took out the clothes from the wardrobe and Mei Li helped folded them into her bags.

”Five for today. If you can't find any you like, we will look more tomorrow,” Mei Li explained, struggling with the zip of one of the bags.

Ryn quickly helped her with it.

Then, they left the bags and went back into Mei Li's car. They did not want to be late for the appointment.

Besides, Ryn too was a bit emotional in the house, which Mei Li noticed it too.

When they stopped at the traffic light, Mei Li checked the address the agent gave and sent it to the GPS. Ryn did not say a word along the way, just looking outside the window.

”I almost forgot to ask you, Ryn,” Mei Li spoke suddenly.

Ryn turned to look at Mei Li who was driving, cocking an eyebrow.

”Have you told them?”

Silence.
