Chapter 313 - White Lilies (2/2)
Elizabeth continued to cry. She couldn't feel anything from Huang Ming's kiss. ”Bro Ming, I…”
”Li Zi, I'm not asking you to decide. I'm happy with how we are right now. It's best we let time speak and answer all the questions we can't answer now. Li Zi, you're always the Li Zi I fell in love with at first sight. The girl who brought magic in my world. All I'm asking is for you to be you and always remember I love you for who you are.”
Elizabeth smiled from ear to ear hearing the sweat and sincere words coming from Huang Ming. ”Bro Ming, thank you.”
”So Li Zi, please… let us help you lift the burdens you feel. Always remember, I'm one call away.”
She wrapped her arms around the man again as she restrains herself from crying again. Huang Ming wipes the tears on her face.
”Stop crying, anyway, who's the flower from?”
Elizabeth almost forgot about the flower she dropped on the floor. She picked it up and check for any card but there was nothing on it. ”Strange, it does not have a card on it.”
”Seems the person who sent this know who you are. The man did call you by your family name and aren't lilies your favourite flowers. But, but why did he send white lilies?”
What Huang Ming meant about the white lilies is because the flowers mean purity. Signifying the V.i.r.g.i.n Mary purity. Hardly anyone would send white lilies and mainly send pink lilies for they mean love.
Elizabeth examined the flowers carefully, she wondered who would send her white lilies and what does it have to do with her. 'I wonder who send me such flowers? I mean, white lilies mean purity. What does it have to do with my purity? Wait, could it have something to do with what dad has to say. I mean, I've lately regained my memories and strangely, a man's voice vaguely kept appearing unexpectedly.'
”Li Zi, are you alright?”
”Bro Ming, white lily does mean purity right?” Elizabeth inquired despite knowing the answer to her own question.
”Yes, why?”
”Nothing, I just find it odd to receive such flowers.”
Both of them didn't bother about the sender of the flower, instead they went inside the girl's house as the girl prepared a meal for the two of them.
…
On the other side of the world, Lord Knightley just receive a report of his daughter's daily activity.
”What did you say?” he asked.
”Someone sent her white lilies, and we asked the man who the flowers came from, but he said he didn't know as well,” Winston explained.
”Damn it, find Petrovich, call him at once.”
Winston came running out of the office and contacted Professor Petrovich. He was pleased when the call got through and the man answered him.
”What do you want?” Professor Petrovich was not pleased to receive such a call.
”The Master wishes to speak with you.” Winston said as he came running back inside the man's office.
”What do you want?” He repeated the same question to the man.
”Did you send her white lilies?” Lord Knightley directly asked the man.
”What are you talking about? Didn't you tell me not to approach him?”
”So, tell me who sent her the white lilies then?” Lord Knightley was furious as his tone of voice became anger every second.
”Don't ask me, also… It can't be the old man. I'm with him right now.”
”Let me speak with him.” It surprised Lord Knightley the Petrovich was able to meet the old man.
”He said, he'll only talk to you once the time comes.”
”Fine, you both better stay away from her.”
”Brother, have you forgotten who you are and who you are against with. Please, you better find out who is after your daughter. For it seems someone else is interested in her.”
Lord Knightley ended the call in rage. He was annoyed that someone else is challenging him. Not only is his daughter's life in danger because of the Yun. Now it seems someone else is also interested in her.
”Find out who sent the flowers. It seems someone from her past is after her…”
Winston left the office without asking any further questions.
…
Meanwhile, Elizabeth was about done with the food she prepared when she felt a sudden chill down her spine. She turned around and checked her surroundings as if she felt someone was watching her. 'What was that about?'
She grabbed her phone which she placed on the island and send a message to someone.
[Daddy, do you know anything about the white lilies? I know you have someone watching over me.]
It didn't even take a minute when she received the most shocking replied.
[Daddy: Be careful!]
