"So you know." he whispered. "Did you heard it from Andy?" asked the man, his face bearing guilt and a conflicted emotion.
"No, we found it by chance," replied Xiao Yun and Mr. Cheng was kind enough not to ask why or how.
Instead he said, "Don't think too much. Andy too when he first knew, it was around his eighteen birthday. We didn't planned to tell him anything. We didn't want him to feel hurt after knowing he wasn't our son. But despite his sadness when he knew it, he still kept a smile that so tis even I as his father felt sorry for him. He had grown up to be a good man and that is also because of you Xiao Yun."
"?" Xiao Yun asked, her eyes questioning why which she didn't place to word.
"I guess you didn't know about it. But that boy despite his expression he feel very easily lonely. He wanted to have a little sister or brother, however, my wife after the loss of Adam she unfortunately wasn't able to have her own child again," there was spiteful and sadness when Mr. Cheng had spoken about his wife's condition. He then pulled his smile to say, "But because of your he feels like he has his own sister which make him less lonely."
"Is that so?" she whispered, feeling sympathy to Andy's behalf. All this ti until now, what was Andy hiding? She felt the truth was getting closer to her fingers but she was afraid that the truth would create her to loose the people she felt important to her like sand seeping between her fingers.
When they return to the car to go to the old small house near the house which her family previously lived in, Xiao Yun blankly stared at the window of the car. Rain drops trickled down toward the glass creating a haze of coldness.
Winter was about to co and now that she recalled it was also snowing by the ti she died. She didn't rember well when but it was around the month of December if her mory didn't failed her. She stared at the rain feeling as though the sky was reflecting her emotions after the sorrowful story.
Wang Li Lei took her shoulders, her eyes when they t was smiling, "It seems that even two children would still be not enough for the house, we can have three or four." He comnted for a smile to appear on her lips.
"I think two is still enough. What if our house beca too rowdy? But I also think having four is good." she questioned. Her smile growing wider.
"Then we would just need to buy a new house," she laughed, a suitable smile which looked the best on her. Seeing her sober up, he asked, "Are you alright?"
"I don't know, I'm still confused and everyday it had gotten worse, Andy and Adam is the sa person and Mrs. Hernely wasn't the best mother. But I don't know if I could ever judge anything with only one side of the story. Now that I think, I really had grown up with Andy not knowing anything he was hiding. That I was oblivious even in my second life," her voice died down and she muttered her words. The truth stung to her.
"That goes the sa to ," he said to attain her gaze. "Even though you have gone through many things in the past live I don't know anything, I couldn't because you were in a different place from where I was." his fingers grazed her cheeks softly rubbing.
"Sotis Xiao Yun, there are things people wants to hide like Andy and no one would be able to know the secrets until the person open their own heart. That's why we should find him, ask him what he is hiding and solve the problem together." Xiao Yun gave a nod, she couldn't agree less to Wang Li Lei. Leaning her head to his shoulder, she felt her confusion fusing to the air.
"Did you see the bottle dicine at the corner of the room where we talked with Mrs. Sophia?" asked Wang Li Lei that had Xiao Yun scrunched her brows and lifted it up.
"dicine? Is Aunty sick?" she asked, worry laced in her voice. But Mrs. Sophia hadn't say anything like that nor that she looked pale like a sick person.
"Not psychically." He net Xiao Yun's eyes which seed to as if had caught sothing but still wasn't sure. "It's a dicine to help one to sleep better. Usually for people who are diagnosed of stress, depression, or PTSD to help them to avoid insomnia which can be caused by stress and worsen their ntality. From the amount of dicine left in the bottle, it seems Mrs. Sophia often drank the dicine. A higher dosage to note." he added.
Wang Li Lei knew well the dicine not because he knew Mrs. Sophia but because long before when he was still in his teens and to a few months before he t Xiao Yun, he had to drink the sleeping dicine to be able to sleep.
Though now he hadn't used it, he knew just from a glance of the dicine bottle that Mrs. Sophia used a higher dosage like when he still wasn't able to cope with the accident which involve his parent's death. It was clear that unlike the smile Mrs. Sophia put on her face, sothing was eating her alive.
"Sleeping dicine?" Xiao Yun turned her gaze away, her eyes looking down to her shoes. "Do you think it is related to Andy and Mrs. Hernely?"
"I think it is. But rather than Andy I would say it's her fear to Mrs. Hernely. Every ti Mrs. Sophia talked about her sister, she seed scared, angry, and there was envy." the last emotion he said caught sothing to her ears.
"Why would Mrs. Sophia feel envy to Mrs. Hernely when she was the one who had killed her father?" she asked confused.
Wang Li Lei smiled, his eyes which had looked to the road their car was going to then turned to her to say, "Like you said Xiao Yun, we have only heard the one side of her story. We haven't heard the story of Mrs. Hernely or Andy." and his words made her sank deep to contemplation, question running around her head when she felt queasy.
