Chapter 373 - Sorry (2/2)

That woman… Isn't she her nanny? What was she doing here…? Before he could contemplate further, he saw her turning to the left.

Han Jian Yu's gaze landed on the child in her arms and his eyes widened.

''Stop there…'' He shouted but she started running when she heard his voice.

Han Jian Yu followed after her but the woman was already at the entrance by the time he went down.

He picked up a flower vase and aimed it at her head but just as he was about to throw it, he changed his mind and aimed it at her leg instead. She was holding Han Mei and he did not want to hurt her accidentally.

He threw it lightly enough such that she would not fall but her steps faltered and he ran to her faster as he took out a small dagger from his waistband.

But just as he was about to reach her, the woman started running again and she was faster this time. It was as if she was betting her life on this.

She shifted the child up to her shoulder.

Since Han Mei was tightly wrapped in a black cloth, he could only see her face near the woman's neck. She was still sleeping.

The woman ran all the way out of the mansion and for some reason, he could not see a single guard all around.

Han Jian Yu gritted his teeth when she rushed towards the highway all of a sudden. He aimed his knife at her leg and it slashed past her knees from the side. His strength was not enough to make her fall but it was enough to make her stumble.

At that small moment, he rushed towards her but the woman suddenly jumped in front of a speeding truck.

His eyes widened, ''Mei…''

*Flashback ends*

''I don't remember what happened after that. I rushed there as faster as I could and I managed to snatch you from her but the truck had already approached us by that time…'' Han Jian Yu seemed to be recalling that old memory.

''How could you not know?” Yu Mei was confused and she glanced at him.

''When we woke up, we were no longer there and I did not remember anything. I was injured and you were with me,'' Since he did not have his memories, he never thought why would he wake up with Han Mei in the underground sewers of Amaranthine but it was a question that went on his mind ever since he regained his memories.

Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan exchanged glances and they could see the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

Han Jian Yu sighed before he glanced at Yu Mei, ''It's not that I did not want to tell you the truth. I was afraid that things won't work out in my favor. I was momentarily selfish and wanted to keep you away from your family just so I could be your brother forever,'' He stood up from the arm of the couch as he confessed his feelings about the matter, ''All this time, I have not been ignoring you on purpose but I felt guilty about what I was doing and it was difficult to face you. But now, no matter what you decide, I will back you up.''

She hugged him before shaking her head, ''You don't need to feel guilty. In fact, I am sorry.. I was being unreasonable all this time and I never thought that you should have your reasons as well,” she whispered.
