699 To Her Death (1/2)

”Why me?”

The reflection's eyes softened, 'I also don't know... Maybe it was because the person I wanted to see alive the most was you. Or maybe Heaven wanted you to return to your rightful place.'

Xiu was even more confused now as she voiced out, ”I don't get any of it.”

Suddenly, she found a fair hand extended before her. Xiu thought she won't be able to hold this hand. It seemed like if she tried her hand would pass right through the other. But it didn't. Although the hand extended towards her had no physical form, she still felt warm.

'Before answering you anything, I'd like to show how we ended here.'

Xiu didn't know what was about to happen but suddenly, the reflection or Destiny's soul or whatever you'd call it, pulled her right inside the mirror, and Xiu's vision darkened.

//The following flashback is from Destiny's point of view.//

*Flashback*

Back when Destiny learned about her real father, she didn't know what she felt. Just like any child, she definitely wanted to meet her father. This wish came from the deepest part of her heart. She couldn't resist it.

One day, she finally gathered the courage to give him a call. The phone rang for a while before it was picked up and she heard the deep but soothing voice of the man, ”Hello!”

Destiny felt a rush of emotions bubble up making it difficult for her to speak. She didn't know what to say to him. She didn't know if she told him she's his daughter, what he'd do. Would he be happy? She definitely hoped for it.

”Hello! Who is this?” After the other person didn't hear any answer for a while, he asked.

”I'm...” Destiny's choked up voice had just rung when she heard another voice from behind Xin Zemin.

”Min, did you cook the dinner?”

Hearing that voice Destiny's eyes darkened. It was Zhao Huan's voice. Since she had every single piece of information about Xin Zemin in her hands, how could she be unfamiliar with his wife?
