Chapter 175 - Slowly or fast? (2/2)

Ah... maybe she should not have said that.. but oh well, Madam Li knows now anyway. ”The first time was before I even started helping him. He choked me.”

”Sorry...” Madam Li apologized. ”He's not himself.”

”I know. You know what was interesting though?” Lena put her shirt back on and turned around to face Madam Li. ”I don't think he recognizes anyone when he's like that... but somewhere deep inside, he's still aware. He hugged me and called me mom... so I think there must be a time where you embraced him through his fears and protected him.”

Madam Li brought Lena's hands together and held it. ”There was a time where he threw a glass cup at me. Even when my head was bleeding, I rushed my lovely son, who was suffering. Of course, I only made it worse, but I knew then that someday... I would be able to hug him.”

Lena hugged Madam Li.

”So thank you... for being by his side. He's not exactly someone anyone can befriend and expect him to be nice back... but I am glad he has his good friends with him and now you.” Madam Li squeezed Lena's hands.

Lena did not say anything. After Madam Li was calm again, they both went to sleep. Madam Li was able to fall asleep fast but Lena continued to stare into the dark. She was lying on her side so she would not put any pressure on her back.

She glanced at the clock and it was 3 a.m. She did not have a phone but she used Kris' laptop to send an email to James and Diane that she would be off for a few days. Lena does not want to go to work with her injuries, even though it was minor. If her parents get the news of this... well, let's just say they are not as kind as Madam Li.

Lena slowly got up and left the room. She went to the living room and looked out the window. Even so late at night, the city lights still vastly covered the darkness of the city.

”Can't sleep?”

Lena turned and spotted Kris sitting on the dining table. She guessed he was there before she was here.

”Yeah.. can't--” She walked towards him but stubbed her feet on the living room table that Kris moved away toward the window when he kneeled on the ground. In the dark, Lene did not pay attention and hit her soft toe on the wooden leg of the table.

She silently screamed, knowing that Madam Li was still awake.

”Are you okay?” Kris rushed to her.

”Ow ow ow... it hurts..” She spoke quietly.

Madam Li opened her eyes. Her throat was getting dry and she needed a drink of water. She sat up and noticed that Lena was not in the room. She got out of bed and went to the hallway. She walked. Madam Li spotted the small lamp in the living room and walked towards it but then stopped.

”Ow ow ow... be more gently. It hurts!”

”Shhh. Are you trying to wake up my mom?”

”But it hurts.” Lena softly replied. ”It's so big...”

”Just cover your mouth. Close your eyes and it will be done soon.”

Madam Li did not dare take any step forward. 'What are these kids doing?! They said they were not together and they are....already.... doing such things! And when I am in the house too!'

She was still curious though. She stepped closer to take a peek. She spotted Kris's back towards her and Lena down lower than Kris. She instantly hid back on the wall.

”I don't want to close my eyes. I want to see it.”

”Then stop whining. Do you want me to take it out slowly or fast?” Kris asked.

”Slowly.”

Madam Li stopped looking and quietly walked back to her room, but could still hear them as she crept away.

”Ah ah ah ... Noo... I change my mind. Pull it out fast, that is a better way.”

”Stop changing your mind or I am keeping it in.”

”Noo... do it fast. Final answer.”

A few seconds past. ”It's out. Are you okay?”

Lena laid back on the sofa and took a deep breath. ”Yah... much better.”

Madam Li reached her room and closed the door. The rooms were noise-canceling so it was good. She does not want to hear the second round. She happily giggled and locked the bedroom door. Honestly, she doesn't care if they went all night until morning.
