106 The Shocking Truth (1/2)

”Mom?!” Chang cried out seeing her mom hit the floor. She struggled to get up gasping at the sharp stabbing pain in her left ribs. Jian instantly put a hand to her chest restraining her.

He tried to tell her something but it just sounded like white noise.

She had just been coming to accept that this was reality, but it actually seemed to be just one long nightmare.

She screamed while being held down by Jian as doctors came and picked her mother of the floor very carefully as they took her away.

One of the nurses came by and injected a liquid into her IV tube. The last thing she remembered was struggling, then nothing.

Liang Jian Amal stood over Chang as she lay in her drug induced slumber.

”We knew this day would come.” Hao Jin Ying stood beside him, preparing for Chang to wake.

”I know, and I ran this scenario through my head thousands of times yet I still have no idea what to say to her.” Liang Jian Amal ran his hands through his hair, agitated, he was never at a loss for words when it came to business. Yet with her, always her, he found himself so unsure.

”There's only one thing we can tell her at this point.”

”What is that?” He looked to Hao Jin Ying hoping she might have further insight.

”The truth.” She looked back into his eyes seriously.

There was no avoiding this or delaying anymore. It was time for the truth to live in the light.

Liang Jian Amal waited by Chang's side for the anasthetic to wear out of her system. Hao Jin Ying was in the adjoining room, where Li Hua was housed and was monitoring her.

Chang opened her eyes blearily, trying to rise out of the thick stupor she was mired in. When he saw that she awoke he immediately clasped her hand tighter.
