Chapter 169 - He had never wanted her (1/2)
Sara kept pacing back and forth. She didn't understand what was going on, what was up with Changyu. She would have followed them to the hospital but her father and Aunt had stopped her. Why?
Now, she was here with a lot of unanswered questions for herself and for Joreen who was also as curious as her.
”Jo. You mentioned that Aunt and Dad were talking about a 'devil' the other day right?”
Joreen nodded rigorously in answer to her question.
Sara had a lot running through her mind. With her aunt's reaction earlier, it meant her aunt didn't like her. What if she was the 'devil' they had both talked about?
”Jo. Stay here. I'm going out for a bit” Sara told her before leaving the place. She knew the right place to go to right now. It was Delight. She had to meet with Mr Chu. She would probably find out a thing or two from him.

Jianjun looked at Changyu's pale sleeping face on the bed. Memories from the past rushed in. Memories he hadn't wanted to open the door for.
It was the very first time he was seeing her in over 25years. Who would have thought the first time he would meet her again, she would be in this state?
A lot had obviously changed about her. Not just her matured look and hair that was gradually turning hair, she just looked so different. And he couldn't place it exactly.
He looked at her little fingers that were rid of any jewelries. He couldn't help but wonder why she never got married. Even at 45, she was still absolutely stunning. She was wealthy also. She could have easily married anyone she wished but she was still single. What exactly was the reason?
He shook the thought out of his head. It was none of his business. He shouldn't be bothered about this evil woman. He didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
He stood up. Took a long look at her before he head for the door.
”Brother Jun” He heard her weak voice call, causing him to stop dead on his track with his back to her.
He slowly turned to look at her. She struggled to sit up and he used every ounce of self control to stop himself from helping her up.
He reminded himself that this woman didn't deserve his pity. He had done really well by bringing her to a good hospital like this so, she shouldn't expect anything more from him. No matter what it was.
”Brother Jun... I guess I must have stressed you. I am sorry”
In his eyes, she materialised into her younger self that moment. But soon, he returned back to reality.
”What exactly are you apologizing for?” He asked indifferently.
Was she apologizing for what she did years ago, or what her parents did, or the fact that she suddenly showed up in front of his house and collapsed there?
He didn't wait for her to say anything else. He turned around and left the room with these final words ”I hope we never cross paths anymore”

”I am glad you didn't fall for her scheme again” Cixi said immediately he came out of the room's door. She had been patiently waiting for him to come out and if he had even considered in the slightest bit to have a conversation with her, she was going to barge in there. Who was she to cause them trouble and collapse in front of their home while looking like a beggar? Cixi thought she should be glad she haf even helped because she had suddenly gone into 'Doctor mode' the moment she collapsed. Now that she was awake, there was no point in remaining there. Her 'lovely' family would obviously take care of the rest.
Jianjun didn't say anything to his sister. He just continued walking out. He didn't want to think about anything else. He didn't want to hear anything else. He couldn't believe he was even worried about her. He must have gone crazy!
