Chapter 81 - Love is not that easy. (1/2)
Lifen was yanked forcefully and before she could react, she was already in a room which dark enough for her to see the face of the person in front of her. The only source of light in the room was the illuminating moonlight which was coming from the big glass window.
”What are you doing?” she asked and turned to look at the person who has grabbed her before. It was so dark that she wasn't able to see his face. The only thing visible to her was his tough silhouette which was hovering in front of the door. The door of of the room was close shut.
The touch of the person who has grabbed her wrist was somehow familiar to her. She can guess the person standing in front of her. Though she knew him, but still at this moment she can't be overconfident about it.
She put her guards high and again asked in a high alert tone, ”Who are you?”
The person didn't responded to her. She asked again, ”I asked who are you? And why did you bring me here?”
The man stepped forward towards her. His silhouette slowly came into the illuminating moonlight and slowly his legs and then followed by his body and face came to her sight. As per instinct, it was the person she was thinking of.
She slightly furrowed her brows and asked, ”Why did you bring me here?”
”What were you doing before, Lifen? Do you even have any idea what have you indulge yourself into? ” he asked in a stiff tone. His eyes were concerned for her, but now she can't believe his eyes. It had already betrayed her before.
There was something that made her more astounded. It's the first time he has called her by her name. If she remembers correctly then, till now he never called her by her name. She thought about it. Why is he behaving like he still cares about her and all that happened before in between them was a lie. Why is he still pretending to care for her.
She shrugged off her thoughts, ignored his expression and with confused eyes, ”Sorry, but I don't think I am getting your words”.
Looking at him like this was giving her second thoughts, she wanted to leave the room as soon as possible. When she saw he wasn't responding any more. She thought to wrap their conversation up, the conversation which actually didn't happen.
She said again, ”If there is nothing else to talk, then I will make a move. I have to leave, Chang might need me. He must be waiting for me”. With that she tried to walk to the door but was blocked in the mid way.
Deming stepped forward, too close to her. Lifen took two steps backward to create some space between them. Being with him in this close proximity makes her heart beats faster and she can't let him know about it.
He again stepped forward and Lifen again took her steps backward. This continued until Lifen's legs got obstructed by the legs of the bed made for the patients, but Deming didn't stop. She walked close enough to her that he can feel her warm uneven breath and heartbeat.
