Chapter 155 - Im not done with you yet. (1/2)
Cixi sat quietly in an hotel room. A lot going through her mind. Her phone rang with a call from Sara.
She heard Sara trying to steady her breath and worried whether something bad had happened to her.
”Sara, are you alright?”” Cixi stood up abruptly
”Aunt... I.. I think I am running temperature” Sara managed to say.
”You're sick? What happened? Where are you?” Cixi began to gather her things in order to leave.
”I.. I am in Mr Li's house..” Sara informed.
”Where is he, does he know? He should take you to the nearest hospital. I'll meet you there now”
”No! I.. I don't want him to come close to me right now” Sara rejected.
”What, but why? What is wrong?” Cixi worried since she had never heard her niece sound so down.
”How do you feel honey? tell me”
”My head.. is spinning. I feel very uncomfortable and hot. I just... I don't know”
She immediately opened the hotel room's door and dashed out. ”When did it start? How?”
”I was.. I was with Mr Li”
Cixi stopped moving ”You were with him?” She asked.
”He was very.. close to me and whispering things”
”What..was he whispering?” Cixi asked curiously.
She heard Sara hesitate before saying ”Nau..ghty.. things..”
”Naughty things?” Cixi asked in shock before it turned to amusement.
”I have been trying to calm myself for the past minutes but it isn't working. And I think I'm beginning to fall sick” Sara said in frustration.
”What should I do? Heya's been waiting for me. I'm still hiding in the restroom”
Cixi burst into laughter. ”I really think your father is going to kill that CEO for messing with you.”
”Aunt!”
Cixi was amused. She turned and head back to her room. There was no way she was going to give Sara any doctorly advice right now. She grinned wickely before saying ”Have fun. And don't forget to tease him back.” She was very sure Jianjun would kill her also if he found out.
She had raised Sara like her own daughter. So it was not unusual for Sara to call her for advise since she had always been Sara's confidante.
She remembered how Sara had called her phone one morning, crying that she saw blood on her bedsheet when she woke up and was having stomach pain but was scared to tell Jianjun about it.
At that time, Cixi realised she had left the most important teaching aside and had been teaching her to stand up for herself. She also remembered the time Sara first talked to her on the phone about Mo Jinyong and her plans to date him.
When Sara disappeared for over a year, she thought she was going to go crazy. But she had to be strong in order to help Jianjun survive. And thankfully, Sara came back home when they had both lost hope of ever finding her again. Her eyes was dark and cold. She looked thinner and taller in the male's outfit she was wearing. Her hair looked shorter and her complexion, darker.
They were taken aback when they saw her appear in front of their building one day. When they saw the look in her eyes, they knew this was not the same Sara. They knew a lot had changed about her.
Then, she broke down. As if she had been saving the tears all along. Her legs gave her away and she fell to the floor and wailed bitterly.
