Chapter 437 - STAR-CROSSED LOVERS: PART III (1/2)
That's right, she only allowed a few people to call her by that name and as the Young Princess that time, she asked that person to call her by that name.
She turned all stun by the sight of the man running towards her. Her tears were much larger than earlier as she continues to be in amazement of the situation. She did not expect that their path will soon collide again and that they'll finally be together.
However, something didn't feel right...
Her eyes quickly checked the area as she check for any near by mercenaries. She fear that what happened to Feng Xiaotong might happened to Yun Shen as well. She was all anxious as she check but as she took a deep breath, she was relieved the no one was around anymore.
”Lizzy.” Yun Shen did not hesitate and embraced her tightly. His eyes were all water, but he held back his tears. All kinds of emotions were exploding at the same time and he could not put himself to express them at the same time. ”You're alright.”
”Hmm.” Elizabeth nodded as she grab her arms around Yun Shen's body as well. ”How did you find me?”
”I stumble upon Xiaotong's men...”
When Yun Shen mentioned Feng Xiaotong's name, her expression which was full of color soon turned back to it's lifeless look. She buried herself in Yun Shen's embrace as she cried herself out. ”Shen, Xiaotong, he-he...”
”It's fine, I understand...”
”But, Shen, none of this would have happened if I-I just...”
”Like I said, it's fine, I understand.”
Hearing the same word being repeated again, Elizabeth felt unease. She looked up and saw the bitter look on his face. ”Shen, what's wrong?”
”Know that I love you and everything I did was to protect you.”
”Shen, what are you saying?”
”Lizzy, what I'm trying to say is you can go and look for the professor. He will help you find the answer to everything...”
”Shen, you're not making sense, why would I need to find the professor...” It suddenly struck Elizabeth that something was indeed not right and the feeling she felt earlier was a warning.
”Young Master.”
Both of them turned to see who it was but it was someone they were both unfamiliar with.
”Who are you?” Yun Shen asked cautiously. He noticed a few more men following from behind the man that appeared.
”Young Master, we are here to take you back.”
”Take me back?”
”Ah-”
Elizabeth suddenly felt a painful jolting feeling in her head. It was so painful that she was losing control of her body.
”Young Master, please don't make things even more complicated.”
”Lizzy, what's wrong are you alright?”
Elizabeth was unable to hear what Yun Shen was saying because her mind started playing different memories of her past at the same time.
”Lizzy, what's wrong? Tell me what's going on.”
”Young Master, it's best we leave now.”
”Who the heck are you?”
”Young Master, if you do not come with us we have no choice but...” The man did not say it but he was staring directly at Elizabeth. Which could only mean one thing... If he dares not follow them they won't hesitate and kill the girl.
”You dare.” Yun Shen glared at the man whilst worriedly checking on Elizabeth.
”Young Master, you yourself already knows the answer.” The man paused for a second to check on Yun Shen's expression. He then took a deep breath and spoke again, ”We will spare the Young Princess as long as you come with us. If you do not come with us we will not hesitate and take her with us making sure that the two of you will nto see each other again or we can just make sure now that you won't even get to see her.”
”Who are you guys anyways? Did my father hire you...”
”Young Master, please stop asking so many questions and just follow us.”
Before Yun Shen could even respond. The whole area turned into silent when they heard the gun fire.
The man whom Yun Shen was speaking to looked at his chest and notice the whole and his blood dripping down. He turned to face the person whom shot him and just smiled.
Elizabeth finally escaped from the brutal memories she was having. Yun Shen who was by her side was dumbfounded by what just happened. A moment ago she was all in pain and now she just grabbed a gun and shot the man.
”Lizzy, are you okay?”
Elizabeth got up and shouted. ”Give me back what belongs to me.”
Yun Shen was confused and grabbed her to face him, ”Lizzy what are you talking about.”
”They took something from me and I want it back.”
”Lizzy calm down, what are you talking about? What did they take from you?”
But before Elizabeth could answer, another person amongst the group that arrived appeared.
”I see you're still alive.”
”You-” Elizabeth's eyes burst into anger as she saw the old man standing in front of them.
”Lizzy, do you know him?” Yun Shen looked confused and asked.
”He-he, took everything away from him.”
”Foolish girl, you yourself have taken everything away.”
