Chapter 380 - Grown To Hate You (1/2)

Lord Knightley who returned to China as well to visit his wife was welcomed by the sound of the servants all in tears. Despite its been almost a month since his daughter disappears, none of the servants in Imperial Garden Plaza have moved on. Even there close friends, have visited the place from time to time to check on the family.

”Lord Knightley?”

”Darling?”

Everyone was surprised to see the man walking in the room. Inside the room was his wife and her family along with their political friends and close military friends.

”Rob, Liz?”

”I'm sorry…” Lord Knightley responded with such disappointment in his face. Despite the fact that he already knew that his daughter is fine, he kept it from his wife for certain reasons.

Lady Zhao's tears drop like waterfalls, her brother hastily went to her side and comforted her. ”Now sister, Lili is a clever girl. I'm sure she is fine. Maybe, maybe she lost her memory again which is why she hasn't returned to us. Be positive my dear sister.”

”My poor baby girl.” Lady Zhao cried.

”We must make the Yuns' pay for this. This is all their son's fault, why must he lead Lizzy to suffer with him.”

”Elder Chief, if you need mine and my family's help don't hesitate. Lizzy is like my granddaughter too.”

”B*****! Not only did he took Lizzy to her grave. Thanks to him,  Xiao Yang has been miserable and been crying at night for his misses his Auntie Lizzy.” President Yang added.

”Dear child, calm now, your daughter will soon return to you.”

”That's right, dear sister please calm down. You look so pale already…”

Some members of the Xian relatives also came to visit and has been staying in Imperial Garden Plaza to help with the search. They've used all their resources to search for the girl yet in the end they end up with nothing.

Unexpectedly, everyone's attention turned to the door when they heard one of the butlers greeting someone. They all turned to the hallway and anticipated the person who came to visit as well.

Came walking in was the young boy who used to charm everyone with his smile but no looked like the walking dead. He lost so much weight and was as pale as a sheet. His eyes look reddish as if he has not slept a wink at all and for weeks or so…

”Xiaotong.”

”Young Feng.”

Everyone was pleased to see the young man that came to visit. He has suffered so badly just like them and has given all his effort to search for the girl as well.

Lady Zhao was delighted to see Feng Xiaotong that the tears immediately stop when he arrived. She went over to welcome the boy, ”Xiaotong, you came to visit again. How are you? Have you eaten?”

”Lady Zhao, everyone… I'm sorry for coming all of a sudden again. I…”

It was obvious to everyone what he wished to ask but it was something hard to speak of. For in the end, they'll all have the same answer.

”Don't worry, she'll be back soon.” Lady Zhao embraces the boy who faces soon was covered in tears.

”Lady Zhao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I should not have let her go with Shen. If I knew, if only I knew then, I would have never allowed her to go. Lady Zhao, I love her so much but I wanted her to be happy. I had no choice back then, she looks…”

”Hush no boy, what happened isn't your fault. You are not to blame, you protected Lili very well.” General Zhao stood up from his seat and went to comfort the boy and his sister.

Seeing everyone seems to be emotion, Lord Knightley decided to leave the room and head upstairs to his private office. As he walked inside the room, Winston was already inside waiting for him.

”My Lord, must we lie to them?” Winstone asked.

”Will knowing the truth bring ease to them?” Lord Knightley said.

Even if they know the girl is alive but does not know her current whereabouts will only bring more suffering to them. For they will worry about who she is doing…

”My Lord, Lady Zhao has suffered deary, we can at least tell her.”

”No, she must not know. She can't know Lizzy is alive. If she does, she herself will be going about as well searching for her. It's best she does not know.”

”My Lord, may I ask, why did you act as if you don't know where the Young Miss is?”

The reason as to why Winston asked this is because every member of the Knightley family is being tracked by a satellite. Just like the president or important member of the state. However, only Lord Knightley and Elder Lord Knightley know about it and it seems Elder Lord Knightley has forgotten about it because of his worries for his granddaughter.
