Chapter 29 - She is just a fragile girl (1/2)
Li Heya was still standing close to the back door. After summoning all of her courage to come out, she still found it difficult to go in there. What if people laughed at her? Or looked at her weirdly?
She hated those looks the more. It was as if they were telling her that she did not belong in this world.
Li Muchen noticed her unease. Of course, he could tell at first glance, what his sister was thinking about.
He held her hand and encouraged her
”Li Heya, remember, no one can dare bully you!”
”I know, they won't dare bully me when you are here. But you won't always be here with me. So what happens when you are not around?” She asked sadly.
”You have Sara. She won't let anyone do so!” he assured her softly.
”It's not like she could possibly do anything to them, she is just a fragile girl” Heya countered.
Li Muchen did not know when he laughed out loud.
Fragile girl? he thought. Anyways, merely looking at Sara, one could easily assume such. She looked so small and innocent. That was actually why he had been intrigued that day. He wondered whether it was this little girl that actually beat up both heavy built bodyguards..
”Why are you laughing?” Heya asked.
He stopped laughing and place a hand on her shoulder as he spoke.
”Look, whenever you are alone with Sara, just say a silent prayer to ask God not to send anyone to bully you.”
”Yea, I do pray for that always” she said
”But this time, the prayer would not be for you.... But for them!”

He turned to look at where Sara had been standing. She had taken a few steps away from the car to let the both of them speak. He knew that Heya was still not too familiar with Sara, and the best motivation Heya should get now, should come from the one who she trusted the most.
