Chapter 207 - Too much pressure (1/2)

Changyu used a hand to cover her eyes after helping herself sit up on the bed. Her head ached and she felt really weak.

She had just woken up after long hours of sleep. Everything that had happened the previous day flashed through her mind: her meeting with her parents, how she heard her parents' conversation and lastly, Jianjun's conversation with her.

She remembered how she could no longer hold in her curiousity last night so she had tried to force herself to go over to her parents house. How could she possibly sit calmly after hearing something like that?

She couldn't possibly do so!

She tried to think that her son was still alive somewhere. She desperately wanted to believe that. She held unto that tiny shred of hope in other to keep surviving because she was already tired of her life.

But before she could leave, her PA, Hani stopped her. She pleaded with her to watch over her health and lie back down. Hani tried to convince her that It wouldn't make any difference whether she met with her parents last night or a few hours later. But Changyu felt that the more she delayed, the more something might become wrong.

She didn't know what happened after that. She only remembered threatening to fire Hani and after that, everything blanked out.

She must have collapsed again. Damn it! Why was she so weak?

But....she suddenly remembered her dream. Why did she suddenly see brother Jun's daughter in her dream?

Sure, the girl was pretty and adorable, and looked very much like her father. Was her mind playing games with her because she had been thinking much about Jianjun lately? Or was the universe reminding her that he had a daughter he loved so much and so she shouldn't interfere with their lives?

She winced in pain. Not knowing where it was coming from exactly: Her physical body? Her heart? She simply had no idea.

She only knew she was in pain and could feel the life gradually sucking out of her.

”You're awake” Hani sighed in relief. ”You collapsed last night so the doctor came over to put you to rest. He said you should take those meds as soon as you wake up” Hani said, pointing at some bottles of medicine carefully placed on the shelf beside her bed.

Changyu used a hand to smoothen her already messy hair and stood up. She looked at the clock to see it was already past 10 in the morning. ”They should be here” She said in a hoarse and crooked voice. She had cried a lot and had been sick so it was normal for her voice to sound so terrible.

”They are here” Hani nodded.

Changyu could hear her heart throbbing loudly. Her eyes blinked rapidly and her hands shook uncontrollably. Even her breath became unsteady and loud.

”Are you okay Miss Changyu?” Hani moved closer to her and asked in concern. ”I'll call the doctor”

”No. It's fine. I'm fine” Changyu said before heading towards the door.

”Miss Changyu. You have to freshen up” Hani reminded her.

Changyu looked down at herself and sighed. She was completely synonymous with the word 'messy'. But right now, this wasn't important to her. She ignored Hani and headed straight towards the sitting room where her parents were waiting patiently for her.
