Chapter 365 - My Family (2/2)

So, he went ahead and went closer to the girl. As he came standing behind the girl, he saw the painting she was working on. A strange silhouette of a  man was stood behind a gigantic Greek pillar. At the same time, the beautiful silhouette of a woman was standing beside him. The image of the man and woman's face weren't painted yet, but they looked so realistic that it felt like they were just right in front of them.

”You're back?”

The faint voice snaps Yun Shen back to his senses as he immediately turned his attention back to what he intended to do in the first place.

”Li Zi, how are you doing? I heard you haven't been sleeping well, haven't been eating and you won't take any medication.” Yun Shen said as he went even closer to the girl and stood beside her but has a clear view of what the girl looked like.

Yun Shen's expression looked as if he was seeing a ghost. He did not expect the girl to look so worn out. She was so pale, her lips were almost blue, her cheekbones were popping out, her panda eyes were so deep that it was so black. She looked so different that even her own family won't be able to recognize her.

”Li Zi, what happened to you? Why didn't you tell me you were suffering this much? Li Zi, tell me, what can I do to help you?”

”Shen, tell me... How is my family? Tell me?” Elizabeth answered with such coldness in his tone.

Yun Shen was dumbfounded as to why he senses such hostility in the girl's voice. What confused him the most was why the girl seems to be so interested in her family when he has reported how they are doing.

”They are fine, as I told you before, they are just searching for you.” He answered.

Elizabeth got up, she went to the drawer where she hides quite a pile of doc.u.ments she has printed out. Even though Yun Shen blocked her access to the other world. She was not an idiot and won't be able to break the lock on her phone.

After she regained quite a lot of memories, she decided to take action and find out about the man whom she needs to look for. But painfully enough, the first information she received was the news about her family.

That Elder Lady Knightley ended up in Hospital. Her friends suffering and news of Young Master Feng being rushed to the hospital for malnutrition and depression.

The news brought such a sacred to her that she dare couldn't believe them. But the more she investigated the more news about what happened to lead to be true.

Since she was able to break the lock on her phone. She could contact her father but she didn't. Instead, she went ahead and contact Jackie.

Jackie, of course, kept everything to herself and informed the girl that all the information online was true. Even her family has gotten involved with the search. What's worse, she brought bad news to the girl when she informed him that the person she's been looking for has suddenly disappeared and can't be contacted.

In the end, she asked Jackie to search for the man in her dreams she already regained what his name is.

Yun Shen continues to stare at Elizabeth with a blank expression. There was much more to Elizabeth than meets the eye. He never thought that the girl could be this intimidating. Yes, he already expected her to have such a cold side for her could easily and brutal kill men without showing and care for them. But to think she'll give off the same aura towards him was shockingly surprising.

However, seeing her in person, interacting with her, has finally brought Yun Shen to realize that he is too weak and handle her. He really can't protect her at his current state and eventually in the end, I'll be the girl who'll be protecting them.

”Li Zi, I'm sorry to tell you this. But, I only kept...”

Yun Shen was interrupted when Elizabeth kicked him away in his lower abdominal. She was so angry and despite how she looked, her kick was still so powerful that it blew Yun Shen a few steps away from her.

”They are my family. If one of my family died would you have kept it from me? Shen, I trust you with everything yet you kept something so important to me. My grandmother is everything to me. Xiaotong, Xiaotong is your friend and even though he did something so painful to you. He only did it to protect me. Shen, he did everything to protect me. In the end, in the end, he let me go and follow you. So why? Shen, tell me? Why did you have to be like this? I don't understand why you've turned into this!”

Elizabeth cried in anger and continued to vent out her frustration at Yun Shen. After she let out all the pain she's been bottling since he left. She left the room and left the man facing her cold and hostile words alone.
