Chapter 364 - Professor (2/2)
”What is the meaning of this? Why have you come to my home?”
”My Lady...”
”Get out!”
Before the woman could even utter any words, the lady who just arrived order them to get out. She looked at her servants and have them kicked the woman who was being arrogant towards Elizabeth a moment ago.
Once the coast was clear, the lady went closer to Elizabeth who seems to have showed no interest on what was going on. She was worried about the child but was surprised how calmed she looked and was not affected at all.
”Child, are you alright?”
”Should I be not fine?” Elizabeth answer showing no interest to the woman as well.
”What are you doing?” She asked as she went down on her knees next to the girl and watched what she was doing.
”Can I help you?” Elizabeth turned and asked curious as to why the woman suddenly sat next to her.
”Child, when will you see that I am not someone you should be afraid of. I came here to help you yet you seems to be unhappy to see me.”
”If you want me to thank you for what you done, then, thank you. If that's all, can you please leave me alone.”
The lady sighs as she saw the child still has not lowered her guard and still thinks of her as an enemy.
”Child, you don't need to worry nothing bad will happen to you if you stay here. What happen earlier will not happen again?”
”Do you really think I need your protection?” Elizabeth furiously spoke as she stood up from the ground and looked down at the woman beside her. ”All I want is to go home, yet... Yet you won't let me. I don't understand what I've done to deserve this. Why won't you let me go home? All I want is to go back to my family. If I owe you something tell me, I am the daughter of the Knightley family and my father will pay you as much as you want. Just let me go already!”
The woman too got up and brush the leaves stuck on her dress. ”Child, I'm sorry but I can't make that decision. Do you really think our family is in need of such wealth you are speaking of. Sadly, your...”
”Rose?”
A husky, cold, and eerie voice echoed behind them.
Both Elizabeth and the woman turned when they heard the family voice. Elizabeth was frightened hearing the familiar voice for the owner of the voice is the reason as to why she hasn't escape such hell.
Elizabeth looked at the person in front of her. She frowned at the fight of the old man standing a few feet away from them. Beside her was a familiar man whom she meet on the first day she has woken up. She has no clear memory of what happened and how she ended up at such a place.
The man stood next to the old man was the only person whom Elizabeth trusted and seems to have gain a close connection with.
”Professor Petrovich.” Elizabeth finally smiled which also brought a smile on the lady's face. How she'd hope to be one of the person who could bring such pure smile on the girl's face yet all the girl expresses towards them was hatred.
...
Elizabeth has finally reached the conclusion of her dream. She looked up and muttered. ”Professor.”
She has finally regained the identity of the person who could help her. She finally knows who is responsible for her memory. But the question is, where will she find him since she has no way to contact Jackie.
Elizabeth realized that she had no choice but to find a way to contact Yun Shen in order she'll gain access to contact Jackie as well. However, she worries that this will cause Yun Shen great trouble.
