Chapter 400 - Come Alone (1/2)

'Take a shower and eat something before you go to bed'

This was the text that Jun Zixuan had sent to her while she was in the meeting.

Yu Mei glanced at the time. It was past 11 o' clock. The day had been hectic. From Han Jingyi's incident to her being admitted in hospital, then being discharged later that day. After that, her parents came to meet her....for the first time, everything was emotionally overwhelming.

At that time however, Yu Mei did not think that the night would be approaching on this note. She never expected Shen Lihua to be sick all of a sudden.

Taking a deep breath, she stood up deciding to take a bath first before heading to hospital.

Steward Gu, who was standing outside the slightly ajar door, heard the sound of the bathroom door opening and closing. He dropped a text to Jun Zixuan, informing him that Yu Mei changed her mind and is taking rest like he wanted.

''Serve dinner in Young Mistress's room before you close the door so she can take rest. Make sure ti not disturb her,'' He spoke to one of the servants before heading back to his room.

Around midnight.

Yu Mei slowly opened her eyes, only to cover them with the back of her palm a second later, unable to adjust to the glaring lights. Her body felt cold and stiff.

She rubbed her eyes before looking around as let them adjust to the lights.

A soft sigh escaped her lips as she noticed that she ended up dozing off in the bathtub. Her back was aching so she had decided to soak in warm water but she did not realize when the exhaustion of the whole day took over.

Her legs were numb and it took her some time to get out of the tub.

Putting on a robe, she walked out of the bathroom.

She picked up her phone from the bed to check if she got any texts from Jun Zixuan or Shi Luo regarding Shen Lihua's condition while she dried her hair with the other hand.

Before she could look through it, a few texts from an unknown number caught her attention.

Curious, she clicked on the number before checking the texts that she received.

'Bam' The hair dryer landed on the floor and her expressions changed the moment she saw the pictures which had Mia in them, in bloodied and bruised condition.

Her birthmark was visible in the pictures and she was in her fox form, curled up in a corner with cuts and bruises all over her body, her blood was soaking her snowy furs.

Yu Mei's lips trembled slightly and she felt her blood running cold. She took a step back before sitting on the bed.

Putting her phone aside, she inhaled a deep breath while trying to think rationally. It should not be Mia.

Mia is so powerful and there was no way someone can do this to her. She convinced herself with this again and again but still there was this nagging feeling in her heart that she was unable to shake off.

Mia was not around since days...
