Chapter 358: The Mafia King's Awakening - Pain (5)

It was the longest and the most painful night for Lihua and Wei. She lay on the bed, caressing her stomach.

"I am so sorry. You just started breathing inside me, but you are already separated from your father. Mama is so cruel, right? We were supposed to celebrate your existence together, but you are alone with your Mama."

Her already wet eyes teared up again, and she tiredly sobbed. No matter how many times she cried, Wei's betrayal only left her with more tears, especially now when she needed him the most in her pregnancy.

"I know I will never be able to take Wei's place in your life. But I will try my best to give you a father's love too. Will you forgive your Mama…?" She trembled and softly gasped.

It's hard. It's so hard…

Sis. I cannot see anything in front of me. It feels so dark….Lihua blankly gazed at the ceiling.

I don't know what to do, sis. Why...Why aren't you here to help me like always? You have solutions to everything, right? Then please help me like you always do…

Sis, it feels so scary…

Lihua curled up inside the blanket and silently sobbed.

Jia got up with a sharp gasp. She touched the corner of her eyes and found them moist.

Why am I crying?

She pressed her chest and found her heart racing in panic for some reason.

Why am I having this feeling that Lihua needs me? Why am I feeling as if she is crying somewhere?

She got out of the bed and stood in front of the door. For some reason, since yesterday, she strongly felt that Lihua was really near to her.

But that was impossible. How could Lihua even know Mingshen, much less be in his lab?

Plus, Jia wanted from the bottom of her heart that Lihua would never come to know about Wei or Mingshen in her life.

Jia slowly turned the knob, and it clicked.

She narrowed her eyes.

Of course, that mad dumbo kept it unlocked. This is a direct challenge.

The unlocked door felt more of a taunt to her. She was a prisoner who wanted to escape, and the door was right in front of her, but she still felt as if she wouldn't be able to escape. She knew that Mingshen must have laid many traps in his lab. That's why he was so confident in keeping her room unlocked. He had even removed the CCTV as he had promised.

She sneered.

You underestimate me, Yang Mingshen. I will get out of this place for sure.

But today, she wasn't thinking of escaping. She wanted to know the source of the unsettling feeling in her heart that made her remember Lihua.

Jia slowly walked along the corridor, and she saw the different rooms that felt like a chemical laboratory to her. It seemed as if only her and that unknown woman's room were proper wards here, at least on this floor.

She took a turn in the corridor and bumped into a broad chest.

"Ugh…" she rubbed her nose. She looked up and grimaced.

"Why do you haunt me everywhere, crazy doctor?"

Mingshen was surprised for a moment to bump into her suddenly. But then he smiled. "Look who I met here~ On a trip towards your escape, Spicy? I must say I like your bold approach of openly trying to flee. But isn't it useless if you meet me on the way?"

He tilted his head and faintly saw her wet eyelashes.

"Were you crying?"

Jia raised her brow and coldly said, "Nothing to do with you."

Mingshen wondered why Jia would suddenly shed tears for no reason. He always saw her fierce and in attack mode until now. But this was different.

Is it because…Lihua is here?

He couldn't think of any other reason. Yesterday too, Lu Bojing had reported to him that she had suddenly woken up, sweating and panting heavily. She looked grim and sad. It was yesterday around the time when Lihua was admitted here.

Ho... Interesting sisterly bond.

Now as well, Jia didn't seem as if she wanted to escape.

"Do you feel suffocated? As if somebody is crying and calling for you?"

Jia widened her eyes in genuine surprise.

How does he know?

"Well, your reaction confessed it," Mingshen smiled.

"Yang Mingshen. There better not be any other innocent person trapped here, or I won't spare you any mercy," she snarled.

He stared at her. He knew she was instinctively feeling Lihua's presence. It was quite dangerous if she had moved to the floor where Lihua and the rest of the Jiang family was.

"Go back. There is only you and me in this lab, Spicy. Romantic, isn't it?"

Jia had an urge to puke.

He chuckled. "Plus, there can be no cry for help here because I decide the fate, which is death, ninety-nine percent of the time. It must be your hallucination."

Jia lowered her gaze.

Indeed. Lihua cannot be here. But why did I feel like searching for her?

Without saying anything, she quietly walked back.

Mingshen leaned his arm on the wall and observed her back moving away. He clicked his tongue.

"Tch. It was no fun talking to her today."

He thought about Lihua. "Little chili, you should stop invading her thoughts, or it won't be fun anymore," he let out a troubled sigh.

The mellow sunlight from outside gently lit the room. But even with the golden hue, the room looked dark and desolate.

Wei didn't have a wink of sleep for two nights. The bags under his eyes became more prominent.

Lihua, the cat, yawned and let out a soft mewl as she woke up in his lap. She raised her head and saw that Wei had the same sorrowful expression as last night. She felt the loneliness emanating from his aura.

Sigh…

She rubbed her furry head on his chest and curled up in his arms.

Don't be like that, human.

Wei saw the cat snuggling against his body, and he couldn't help but hug her. He stared at the two files before him.

A sharp pain shot in his heart, and a tear slipped from his eye once again.

It will be all over today…All over…

Lihua.. It feels so painful. Do you, too…feel the same?
