Chapter 254 - The Method Failed (1/2)

Imperia Garden Plaza.

It was not even dusk yet when the girl finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes as she rubs them with her hands. She felt her whole body aching and numb as she slowly got up.

”Awake?”

The girl widened her eyes and saw the man seated on a chair by her bedside. She smiled seeing the familiar person.

”Daddy, good morning.”

The man got up from his seat and seated by the girl's side, he then pulled her into his embrace.

”Daddy, what's wrong?”

Elizabeth was confused as to why her father suddenly embraced her with such upset expression on his face.

The man just continued to embrace his daughter tightly and not answer her.

Moments later a woman step inside the room with teary eyes, seeing her daughter has finally woken up.

”Mom.”

”I had a feeling you'll be awake, I made you some porridge.” Lady Zhao smiled seeing her beloved daughter was finally awake. As she kept her emotions in check to avoid the girl from noticing something wasn't right.

”Rest well.”

Lord Knightley softly spoke as he kissed the girl on her forehead and got off the bed. He then walked towards his wife as he kissed her as well and then left the room.

The two ladies were left on their own, they both sighed heavily as they both know what's about to happen.

”I mess up, didn't I? It was an accident...”

”You didn't, darling, your father loves you... Your right what happened was an accident.”

”Mom, I swear I wasn't trying to do anything reckless or anything. I didn't expect the cliff edge was unstable.”

Lady Zhao seated beside the girl as she handed her the porridge. ”Now, now, don't worry about that. It was an accident, nothing to worry about. Anyway, come eat... You've been asleep for a whole day.”

”Mommy, where is dad going?” Elizabeth wonders as she starting eating the porridge her mother bought for her.

Lady Zhao force as a smile on her face as she explained everything to her daughter. ”Your father has business to handle, he should be back soon no worries. He stayed up all night with you and missed quite a few meetings.”

”Oh...” Elizabeth didn't bother to inquire more for she already felt guilty and worried that her father is angry with her.

...

Lord Knightley along with Professor Petrovich headed out of the house, he paused when he noticed someone behind him.

”Are you going?” General Zhao asked.

”I am.”
