"Jiaohao!"
Gu Rong rushed in his own ho with mad speed. He headed straight up to Yating's room where he saw Butler Mo trying to stand on his feet, clutching the back of his head that bled.
"Ma-Master…"
The tears ford in his eyes rolled down rapidly as he could hardly maintain his balance. "Please forgive Master…She took young master away…and…" he gasped breathlessly, "I tried to stop her…but…"
Gu Rong first made him sit on the bed and imdiately headed to bring the first-aid kit. He checked his wound and froze.
"Did…Liuxian do this? What just happened here?" he asked as he tended to his wound
He shook his head slowly and trembled. "I don't know…She su-suddenly ca up a-and I didn't notice her. I was busy changing young master's clothes when I…felt pain in my head. I looked back and saw her. She pushed away and grabbed young master. I couldn't…understand what was happening at all…So suddenly.
I tried to chase after her but the pain in my head…"
"Jiahao, don't bla yourself! You just lie down and rest. I have already called the ambulance."
A look of terror flashed across his eyes. "She…looked different. She seed angry b-but I don't know how to put it into words…What did I do? I couldn't protect young master? Sh-She is definitely out to hurt him."
"Enough with the self-bla, Jiahao! Nothing will happen to Yating. I will bring him back, okay? You stay here and wait for the ambulance. I will…I will go after Liuxian."

Gu Rong pressed his fingers hard on his phone as he dialed her number. He did assure Butler Mo, but only he knew how hard his heart was beating in his chest.
The call rang and rang but nobody picked up. The more ti passed, the more he felt his heart sink. He crisply rembered the ti she tried to strangle him.
Yating…
He called the cops as well and swiftly explained to them the situation. He hoped they could track her number and location as soon as possible.
"Rest assured, Mr. Gu. We are already on it," the lead officer in charge of the case said.
Where could she have gone? Gu Rong kept wondering to himself.
Where could she take Yating?
Two minutes later, his phone buzzed again with the lead officer's call. "Mr. Gu. Miss. Luo's phone is switched off now but before she turned it off, her location showed XX street near Caiho market. I have already dispatched my officers to search the area."
Caiho market…?
Gu Rong was lost in a daze.
"I think I know where she is. Our old house."
—
Gu Rong was already nearer to his old ho's location so as soon as the link clicked to him, he headed straight there despite the warnings against the lead officer's to wait for the police team to arrive.
Cannot wait…I cannot wait…
If I had been late the last ti then Yating would have…
He bulldozed his way towards his old ho and unlocked the doors with a set of duplicate keys he had. He rushed inside but saw nobody in the living room.
"Waaaaaaaa!!!"
The loud shrill of Yating's cry shook his heart. To his horror, he recognized her frail figure in the kitchen. Luo Liuxian held Yating in her arms as she stood in front of the gas stove near the platform.
Gu Rong looked as white as a ghost. He could hardly rember to breathe.
Luo Liuxian turned to face him, her face being a ss of tears and weariness.
"Ah…you ca."
Gu Rong didn't waste any ti and went straight to the point. "Hand over him to , Liuxian. Very slowly. Give him to ."
She burst into a trembling laughter. "You rember this house, Rong? We…we used to live here so happily…"
"Please hand over Yating, Liuxian. It's dangerous over there." he said, marginally trying to inch towards her.
"I…I am trying so hard to make you forgive ," she whispered. "But you only pay attention to Yating. I don't understand. W-Why? You should be hating him too."
He slightly trembled.
"You should be hating both of us, y-yet why is he spared from your hatred? You should be disgusted by his sight b-but you are enjoying the monts of his first steps…"
She saw that? He thought to himself.
Tears brimd and flowed down her cheeks. "But you cannot even eat the food I prepared for you…"
"Waaaaa!!"
Yating wailed hard as he flailed his small body hard against her chest. Gu Rong swallowed a nervous gulp. "I will eat your food, okay? Just give Yating to ."
"You k-keep ignoring , Rong," she said hoarsely.
"I am sorry. I won't ignore you from now on."
She chuckled and shook her head. "Lies. You are lying to . You will never pay attention to . You will never love again. Not until…he is here."
She clutched Yating fiercely against her body, making him cry harder. He flailed his hands towards Gu Rong as if he desperately wanted him to take him away. "Waaaaaa! Waaaaa!!"
A sharp squeeze gripped Gu Rong's heart and a trace of fury began to settle in his eyes. "You are hurting Yating, Liuxian. Please…just give him to ."
She turned towards the gas stove, taking the lighter closer towards it. Her hands trembled as she pointed at it. "It all…it all started because of my mistake. S-So I will be the one to fix it. I will make all my mistakes disappear…Yes, that's the only way."
"Don't be foolish Liuxian!" He scread and jumped at her. Sohow, he managed to snatch Yating from her.
"Waaaaaaa…" Yating clutched him with his arms and wailed in the crook of his neck.
"Give him back to !!! I will rectify my mistakes today at any cost!!"
Screaming that, Luo Liuxian grabbed a knife from the counter and stabbed Gu Rong at the side of his abdon.
Gu Rong's eyes widened and he coughed hard. He slowly looked down and stared at the blood gushing out of his wound. Gasping in pain, he fell on his knees while still firmly holding onto Yating. Dizziness began to grip him.
Taking advantage of his state, Luo Liuxian tried to snatch back Yating. "Give him to ! He has to die today! Until I breathe, I won't let him live!"
"Waaaaaaaaa!!!"
She tried pulling him harshly, not acknowledging that her actions were only hurting Yating. Luo Liuxian almost dug her nails into his tiny arms to grip him that forced him to escape a loud shrill of pain.
Gu Rong's gaze went frigid. Sweat trickled down his forehead and he felt he was rapidly losing his consciousness.
Luo Liuxian was elated as Yating was finally coming back into her grip. But before she could rejoice, she let out a gasp. She lowered her head and saw the sa knife with which she attacked Gu Rong, stabbed deep into her gut by none other than Gu Rong himself.
