Chapter 365 - My Family (1/2)

After a few days in China, Yun Shen finally returned to the island where he hid Elizabeth and Little Yan. He already suspected that the girl's father have placed someone to track and follow him.

”How is she?” Yun Shen asked the caretaker he assigned to watch over the girl.

”Master Yun, I'm sad to tell you this but Miss Li Zi hasn't been herself lately. A few nights, I witness her running outside the house and crying outside. The Little Miss has not been feeling too well as well since she was upset with the fact Miss Li Zi been strange.”

Yun Shen did not expect the situation to have gone the other way around than he planned. He thought the girl would be fine and happy now that they are together.

”Where is she?” He asked.

”Master Yun, I advise you not to see her now. She in her room and she's painting. All she does is paint and paint of strange places.” The caretaker explained with such confusion on her face.

”What do you mean?” Yun Shen inquired.

”Master Yun, Miss Li Zi, has such gift to recall strange places, or she's just so talented at painting. I mean, the details of her painting are amazing.”

Yun Shen was not interested anymore to hear what the caretaker has to say and wish to see it for his own eyes. He did not expect the girl to have lied about her current situation. She was regaining her memory, but she was hiding it from him, why?

It made him upset and annoyed with the situation, but he realized it must have to do with the fact that he kept her away from seeing her own family.

As he reaches the girl's room, he was surprised to see his daughter standing by the door. The door was opened slightly and Little Yan was peeking through the small opening.

”Little Yan?” Yun Shen called for her.

Little Yan smiled hearing her name being called by her father's soft voice. She has missed him and was longing for his warmth. So she bloated towards him and jump into his embrace. ”Father, I've missed you...”

Yun Shen wiped the tears on Little Yan's face. He did not expect that he'll be making two people suffer because of his greediness to protect them and the greatest fact that he loves them. ”Don't cry, I'm here now...”

”Father, Auntie, Auntie Li Zi been acting strange. Auntie sometimes cries at night. She'll walk out of the house and wander around. She hardly eats and Auntie hasn't played with Little Yan at all. Auntie looks so sick but Auntie won't take medicine.” Little Yan's tears were huge amongst the same size as a.d.u.l.t tears.

”Stop crying, I'll take care of you, Auntie. Why don't you go and play.” Yun Shen suggested as he placed the little girl down and watched her vanished.

Yun Shen took a deep breath before entering the girl's room. He felt so nervous as if he was stepping into battle. His hands were all shaky and his sweat was falling down his forehead. He didn't understand why he was so nervous. He hasn't seen the girl's for weeks, and he thought the first thing he'll be seeing is the girl's beautiful smile greeting him. But who would have thought he'll be facing a soulless girl instead?

As Yun Shen pushed opened the door, he was breath taken by the amount of painting in the girl's room. He couldn't believe his eyes and froze on the spot.

Inside were piles of painting hanging and standing around. They were arranged at all and was layout messily around. As if the girl did not care about them and just painted whatever comes into her mind.

There were different painting for a beautiful garden, a lake, a mansion, a white tiger. She also painted her house in Imperial Garden Plaza and Blenheim Palace. The image of each place she painted looked so realistic that one would be amazed she has painted so many in such a short time. It could only mean that the girl has not slept a wink.

Yun Shen was too frightened to even face the girl. He could already picture out what she looked like. The amount of painting was already proof that the girl has not taken good care of herself and have wasted herself painting.

He felt so suffocated and his throat was aching. He found it hard to breathe for he was suffering seeing the girl so torn into pieces. But... He needed to face his fear.
