Chapter 240 - Its better that the truth remained hidden in the future too. (1/2)

Introducing her happily to the staffs of her cafe and giving some more orders to her staffs, Mother Wu then took Lifen to a table to have a hearty talk with her.

Lifen was already very much pleased to see such good condition of cafe. She said, ”Mumma! the shop seems to run smoothly now. It must be because of Brother Yifeng hardwork and capabilities”.

Mother Wu's expression changed suddenly turning her happiness into disappointment. Her eyes held some untold sorrows.

Lifen too notice the unusual change in her mother that made her worried for her. She has thought that now on return of Yifeng, she would be happy but the look of sorrow and disappointment made her confused.

”Mumma, is everything fine? Where is Brother Yifeng. Deming has told me that he has returned two years back. Where is he?”, she turned her head around once again in search if Yifeng.

The tears that Mother Wu has held for years came out instantly when felt the warmth care in Lifen's heart. ”Yifeng has returned. That's true but...”, she paused for some seconds then continued,  ”but he is not same as before anymore”.

Lifen couldn't get her words properly at first but suddenly she felt more anxious taking it for the worst, ”Mumma, what are you saying? Where is Brother Yifeng?” She asked as she held Mother Wu's hands in worry.

”When he was brought back two years back, he was in the vegetative state.  He body was wholly paralyzed. He is admitted in the Imperial Hospital for his treatment”, the aged woman said while dropping her head down. Her voice was laced with sadness and grief.

”How did that happen? Previously Deming...”, she was about to say something but Mother Wu suddenly looked up. Her eyes held gratitude.

”Lifen, we should thanks Mr.Wang greatly. Without him we won't  be able to do anything.  He really helped us a lot”, she said with utmost gratitude,  even her eyes were saying the satisfaction she felt in her heart.

Lifen just looked at her to understand what's exactly was going on.

She continued, ”Without his help, we wouldn't have taken our lives this further. It was because of him that Yifeng was brought back and has got in care of such capable doctors. He even made sure all ways in which this coffee-shop could run well”.

”Even these staffs are approved and appointed by him”, she said as she looked around the cafe.

When Lifen has left two years back, Deming has come to ask her parents about her whereabouts but they too didn't knew about her so simply denied.

But he never lost his hope, he would come everyday to ask them about her until he confirmed that Lifen whereabouts were really unknown to them too.

Searching her in all directions, he remembered the promise he made to her and decided that he should fulfill the promise he made, so he  found Yifeng bringing him back to the Wu family.
