Chapter 387 - Saved His Little Sister (1/2)

”Big Sis you're back?” Jo hurried to the door when he heard it open and welcomed Megan who had the look as if she'd seen a ghost. ”Big Sis, what's wrong?”

”We need to move…” Megan spoke with such urgency.

”Why? What's wrong, tell me?” Jo asked worriedly seeing how pale Megan looked.

”Master Shou's ladies are here…”

”What?” Jo was so shocked that he almost lost his balance. ”You mean, the Black Lotus is here?”

”Yes, I was sure I saw Akita earlier… I'll never forget that fake smile on her face.” Megan bites her lips in annoyance.

”So, what should we do? I mean, Lord Knightley is a man that can't be trifled with in the first place. Do you think Master Shou is working for Lord Knightley?”

”I'm not sure; better get some information on that at once. If he is, then we better get her out of her at once before everything gets bloody.” Megan suggested as she carried herself upstairs to check on Elizabeth.

Jo was left on his own with such a heavy burden. He wished to listen to Megan but seeing the situation was out of control. He was left in a dilemma if whether he should report to the higher-ups or continue to stay silent and listen to Megan's order.

”Damn it! What should I do? Stef is dead and now the Black Lotus is in our turf. This is bad, really bad…”

Jo continues to ponder on the situation until he recalled what Megan asked him to do. He hurried to the office as he went ahead and check on the information Megan asked him to check.

Meanwhile, Megan was just standing by Elizabeth's door and was wondering if whether to inform the girl of the truth seeing the situation has turned 180.

She knocked on the door and waited for Elizabeth to respond.

”Who is it?” Elizabeth who was on the other side of the door asked.

”It's me,” Megan spoke in such a warm and comfortable yet fake tone.

”Oh…”

The door was opened from the inside and Elizabeth greeted Megan who had this fake smile on her face which was pretty obvious causing Elizabeth to wonder what's going on.

”Did you have a good rest?” Megan inquired.

”I did, thank you for all your help.” She responded cautiously, wondering what's going to happen next.

”Why don't we have tea?”

”Uh...” Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment and thought to herself a good excuse to leave as per her agreement with Jo earlier. ”Thank you, but I need to go. I'll be late soon and I need to head to where I need to go.”

”Must you really leave already? I mean, why don't you tell me where you are going and maybe I can help you?” Megan asked directly to the point, hoping this will help resolve their problem.

”It's fine, I can take care of myself.”

The girl's answer felt like as if the mountain was crumbling down on her. She was almost at the top yet here she was again back to nothing. She thought she was able to gain some of the girl's trust yet it seems her wall was just too high for her to even reach. In the end, she had no choice but to go along with it once again.

”Then, why don't I prepare some stuff for you to take. I mean, who knows when you'll be able to eat again. One's journey can be unpredictable and you might never know what's to come.”

Elizabeth was bewildered as to what Megan meant to that. She already expects that her father would be chasing after her but to have someone else tailing her back is something she is unaware of.

”Thank you.”

That's all she could say as she went back inside her room and close the door to prepare to leave.

Megan sigh heavily seeing there was indeed no hope in helping the girl. She ponders hard on what to do. How was she supposed to help the girl when the girl herself does not want her help at all? Telling her who she was wouldn't help at all seeing the girl has no memory of her.

She ended up dragging herself downstairs, on her way to her office, she notices Jo heading her way.

”What's wrong?” Megan inquired noticing how blankly looking Jo was.

”We're dead.”

”What?”
