Chapter 63 - Are you missing them? (2/2)
Deming's face was filled with self guilt, he threw his head on outside back of the sofa to held back his tears, ”Three months ago, she met with an accident. She was having depression from the past one and a half year. She met with an accident when she was not in the right state of mind”.
Murphy was shocked, he wasn't able to believe that such a bubbly girl can get depressed. He said with concern, ”What do the doctor say?”
”She is in vegetative state and the doctor are still treating her. They are uncertain when she will wake up or will she be eve able to wake up or not”, he said in a depressed tone.
The atmosphere was got silent for few minutes but suddenly something confusing snapped into Murphy's brain. He voice out, ”But why are you involving Miss Wu in all this. Is that because that land from Berlin? I came to know, that the land is registered under her name and that too for above 10 years”.
Deming straightened up his posture lifting up his head from the back of the sofa. His eyes were holding an evil grudge. He gazed at Murphy with his intense eyes, ”Do you really think that I will involve her for such petty thing?”
”Then?”
”It's because she was the reason that Jie met with an accident that day. It was because she insulted Jie harshly which made her lose her state of mind that now she is in this condition and look at her she is enjoying her life”.
Murphy was taken aback looking at the scary expression on his face, ”Are you sure, it was her mistake. I have known her for quite sometime and observed her very keenly. I don't think she is someone who can hurt someone intentionally.”.
Deming looked out of the window, ”I don't care. The thing that matters is that she is the reason of her such condition. She will have to pay for that. I will wait for the day when Jie will wake up and punishes her on her own, till then I will punish her according to my will”.

Lifen was sitting on the windowsill, staring at the stars in the sky out her window. It seemed like she was questioning the stars about her life.
Suddenly a soft hand caressed her hair lightly, ”Are you missing them? Don't worry they are always with you, looking at you and protecting you, like you say”
She turned her head slightly and looked at her mother who has come to her. ”Mumma, do you need something? You should have called me. You should rest. Come and sit. Don't stand for long”, she said in a concerned tone.
”My pretty girl, I am alright now. Do care for me so much. You will soon be leaving us, then how will I manage?” Mother Wu said with teary eyes, remembering something.
”Mumma, why are you mentioning that again. I am still with you. We should enjoy the present. Why we have to think of the future. We still have time”, Lifen said making a sad face.
