Chapter 98 - Did he remember her? (1/2)

”I will wait for reply but do reply honestly. I want to hear the truth, nothing else”, Deming said staring keenly the changing expressions on Jie's face.

Jie's face turned pale instantly, it was no more beautiful. Her eyes stated that she was scared that her worst secret came out. She carefully moved her from the table to her lap and nervously clenched her hand so hard that her fingernails dug deep into her palms, making some drops of blood oozing out.

She kept her gaze down avoiding the sharp glare of Deming, who seems quite upset now. Her mind was playing one question again and again, 'How did he knew about this? She kept all the facts hidden so well'.

Deming seemed to guess what's going deep into her mind, so he said gently, ”I know, what you are thinking. It's true that you hid everything too well but your body said it all. We came to know about it during your comatose period. Do you even know, your life was at risk because of that. Now tell me the reason behind becoming a drug addict”.

Some moments passed like that, while Deming was still waiting for her response, which still didn't came to his ears.

He was again about to say something to her but someone gently knocked at the door, 'Knock Knock'.

Deming moved his gaze at the sliding door which opened slowly and next came in the waiter whom he has asked to look after Lifen's movement.

Instantly he knew that it was the time he can meet her face to face. But he was in the mid of his conversation with Jie. At this moment he didn't gave any second thought and stood up in a breakneck speed, ”Think properly...I have a client to attend. Will be back soon”. Jie can wait but there is something wrong with Lifen and he has to know the reason behind her cold attitude.

He tugged his hand into the front pockets of his pant and strolled out of the room. ”Where is she?” , he asked the waiter who was waiting for him out the room.

”Sir, as you said I have watched her and right now, she went out in the garden. But...”, the waiter paused.

”But?”

”But sir, I am not sure whether she is alone of not. A guy came few minutes later after you left. And when she went out, he seemed to follow her behind in the same direction”, the waiter reported.

Deming didn't wait any longer or said anything to the waiter. He walked in the direction where he had indicated.

Reaching the garden, he saw the familiar silhouette standing under the light pole. Her hair was shining and was appearing more silky under the light. But then came the figure of someone standing in front of her, that made his eyes annoyed and blood boil in his nerves.

She was standing with Chang and hold his hands firmly. They were having some conversation which he wasn't able to hear at this distance. His jaws tightened and he clenched his fist. He took some step forward in their direct but then stopped in midway. He can't go there like that, he will wait here and let them complete their conversation. And if Chang dares to do anything to her again, then he will not spare him this time.
