Chapter 798 - Who To Tell? (1/2)

Although Xiu was familiar with her brain's capability to roam from one place to another, she genuinely wished to not do it in the coming days. Not only for the peace of her own mind but also for Darren. In his condition, she didn't want him to worry about anything.

Even if staying in this room was pretty boring, she just had to bear with it. Because even if she was allowed to go outside, she didn't want to leave with Darren.

Darren continued to stroke her head and it made her easily drift to a peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile, when Xin Zimen came out of their room, he was met with his son's inquiring gaze, ”Dad, why did you call me back?”

”Follow me,” said Xin Zimen and took him to a private space where no one else could hear the conversation between them. ”Leave Liu Nuan for now.”

”Huh?” Xiao Li was confused. ”Did Ying tell you something?” Xin Zimen nodded and he went on, ”And you still want me to leave it?”

Xin Zimen shook his head saying, ”I didn't say you should leave it entirely. First, you need to figure out whether Ah-Si is right or not.”

”You're doubting his words?” questioned Xiao Li.

”No, I just want you to be certain. I trust my son but Ah-Si doesn't have any proof whether what he learned is correct or not. So, first, find evidence to prove that Liu Nuan is really not Suyin's daughter. Only then we can do the confrontation.”

”Are you planning on confronting Aunt Suyin directly?” Xiao Li further inquired.

”For now, we'll start with Liu Nuan. We can get to Suyin when I feel like it.”

Xiao Li nodded his head and went to act according to his father's wishes.

On the other hand, Ah-Si was still not able to relax at all even after sharing his worries with his elder brother. Although he didn't tell him the whole truth, he had expected it to let him breathe in ease but it didn't happen. In fact, his anxiety had grown to a new level because of what he learned from the conversation between his brother and Ying.

If Liu Nuan was really the one who tried to kill Xiu then the question was why did she do it?

*Flashback*

At the wedding, he had only come out of the banquet hall because his daughter was feeling uncomfortable with so many strangers trying to touch her. To make her feel better, he had thoughtfully taken her out to the garden to get some fresh air.

Ava was more than glad to be out in the open. She hurriedly squirmed out of her father's embrace as she wanted to get down. Ah-Si put her down and watched as she ran out happily. Finding her too adorable in her pretty dress, he had taken out his phone to made a video to share this excited version of their daughter with Nora.

However, who would have thought that he'd hear something that'd change his whole life? It was purely accidental. He definitely didn't want to eavesdrop on Xiu and Darren. However, when he saw Xiu's pale face, he was stunned to his place. He couldn't bring himself to move. Especially when they started talking.

Ah-Si felt like he was under some kind of a spell because no matter how hard he tried to force himself to leave, he couldn't do it. He knew it was something he wasn't to know and yet he heard it all. And he even forgot about his daughter who had run off to another site already.

Even after Xiu and Darren left, he was not able to move. He only jerked back to reality when Xiao Li had come looking for him. He shook his shoulder and asked, ”Ah-Si, what are you doing here?”

Ah-Si looked at his brother in a daze as he answered, ”I don't know. I'm also wondering what am I even doing here?”
