Chapter 361 - Over My Dead Body (1/2)

Elizabeth was busy preparing the food for her and Little Yan. Whilst she was preparing for the food, she couldn't help but think about Yun Shen and how he is doing.

”Auntie?” Little Yan walked closer to the woman noticing the pot was overflowing already and she hasn't noticed.

Elizabeth returned to her senses and notice the soup was overflowing and accidentally burnt herself when she went over and touch it without even thinking twice. She was in a trance and her mind was not in sync with her body.

”Ah!”

”Auntie, are you alright?” Little Yan panicky went over to her but was stopped when Elizabeth signed her not to come closer.

”Ah, Little Yan stay there... I'm fine.” Elizabeth hastily went to the tap and cool her hands under the cold water.

”Auntie, are you alright? Does it hurt?” Little Yan's eyes were water seeing her auntie in pain.

”I'm fine, sorry if I worried you.” Elizabeth went down and comforted the little girl.

”Auntie, I'm sorry.”

”Don't be.”

After comforting the little girl, Elizabeth went back and finished her work. During dinner, she didn't have any appetite to eat all, for her mind was wandering off wondering how her family is doing.

”Auntie, is something wrong?”

Elizabeth shook her and with a bright smile.

Once they finished dinner, she went ahead and prepared the little girl to sleep.

She went out and roamed the island... Surprisingly, she didn't realize she was already by the shoreline. She grabs her phone and called someone...

”Shen?”

”Li Zi, what's wrong? Why did you call of a sudden? Did something happen?”

Elizabeth shocks her head and answered back, ”No, nothing happened.”

”Li Zi,” Yun Shen sighed, ”You know you can't call me all the time. We need to be cautious for now and avoid them from tracking us.”

”Shen, how's my family?”

”They are fine don't worry.”

”Shen, tell me, what's happening now? Xiaotong?”

Yun Shen who was in the middle of the road driving was taken aback and immediate step on the break. Luckily, there was no one by the road or else someone would have crashed into him already. He did not expect the girl would be concerned about his best friend.

”Li Zi?”

”Shen, I'm sorry for asking...”

”It's fine... Your family are fine, the royal family are taking action as well and getting involved with the search. Lord Knightley, no one has heard from him for a while. And Xiaotong... Xiaotong his fine.”

”Shen, his not fine isn't he?” Elizabeth who was seated on the ground as she tried her best to restrain her emotions and avoid Yun Shen from worrying.

”Li Zi, are you not happy being with me? Tell me, I'll return you to them at once.” Yun Shen responded.

”No, Shen, it's not like that. I am happy, it's just that I've never expected I have to give up seeing my family.”

”Li Zi, you know why we can't let them see us yet. You know if your family see me now they would probably kill me. Li Zi, we want to be together, but they are so against us being together for my family is in danger. So, please, give me time to settle everything. Give me time to find the people after my family and soon everything will be back to normal.”

Elizabeth wanted to respond: Exactly when? A year, 2 years when will I be able to see my family again.

Of course, Elizabeth didn't say anything like that, she just smiled and responded, ”I understand, Shen I'm sorry. It's just that I've never been away from them. Also...”

”Li Zi, have you regain your memory?”

”Hmm, no I haven't regained any memory since I was woken.” Elizabeth lied for the truth she has regained quite a few of her memory. She already also regained the identity of the people she beaten up that night. She also remembers why they have such cold hatred towards each other.
