Jin drove Shui back ho in silence. But soon, the silence started to feel suffocating. He peeked at her and looked back at the road.
"I didn't get to ask you before. Why do you think Alix was targeted? I an even before tonight's incident happened…"
Shui's expression turned slightly solemn. "Well…"
Jin slightly tilted his head seeing her hesitation.
"It was around two years ago when Xiao ca to for help."
"Why would Kang Yuze's sister need your help?" He frowned.
She scratched her chin, trying to think where to start the story. Find more chapters on m_v l|e-
"To help Alix and help her nd her personality change."
He blinked twice, more curious than before.
"Xiao thinks that the way Alix acted before, including the ti in Guangzhou where she tried to splash water at or cursed at for trying to get close to Kang Yuze - she says that Alix wasn't like this before."
"Maybe, but love changes people, sotis for the worse."
Shui shook her head. "It can but Xiao is sure that it's not relevant in Alix's case. Alix was a bright and confident woman before and she had her own mind. She was not the type of person to cling onto a man and keep chasing after him by sacrificing her self-esteem."
Jin recalled the couple of tis he talked to Alix and he admitted that the latter conjecture fitted the most with her. But equally was the truth that he had seen her acting crazy and unreasonable before.
"So?"
"So Xiao thinks that sothing caused her personality to slowly change over ti especially after her breakup with Kang Yuze. As more ti passed, she grew more unreasonable and stalkerish which Xiao knows for sure is not her personality at all. Alix wasn't the begging type."
Jin could now vouch that Alix didn't fit to be in that category at all. There was sothing mysterious about her. He didn't feel that way in the past but he believed the post coma Alix he was seeing.
"But then how can you help her?"
"Well art therapy can help you tap into your mories in a subli way. You think you are just drawing stuff but every drawing of yours represents a part of your subconscious mind. She wanted to ntally help her fill the gaps between her changed selves. When did it really start? What caused it to start? Why was she doing things that didn't fit her personality?"
"I see…" he arched his brow thoughtfully. "The reason for wanting your help makes sense. But I don't get how Ren Mui could be involved. I an judging by today's incident, she really doesn't seem so intelligent in crafting evil plots," he dryly said.
"I can believe that she might have sothing to do with her actual accident that led her into a coma. But sothing like doing slow poisoning…? I an we are talking about soone's basic personality. I believe that cannot be altered so easily."
Shui nodded. "I shared the sa thoughts. And that's where the story ends because I feel there is sothing more that Xiao isn't telling . Or she is hesitating very much."
He frowned. "Is she that afraid of Ren Mui? She looks like a bug to ."
Her brow twitched. "Compared to the mighty Liu family, the general population can only look like bugs to you."
He coughed.
"I don't think she is afraid of Ren Mui. But there is definitely sothing she is hiding from . Plus it gets even more confusing because Alix told that she had actually rejected Kang Yuze."
His eyes widened. "Seriously?"
"Yup. The ti we were at the Liu villa. If what she says is true then it doesn't make even more sense for her to act the way she did. And now she is suddenly back to how Xiao thinks she should have always been."
"This Kang Xiao…" he said slowly, "feels awfully concerned about Alix for so reason. More than her real sister. That too after the breakup with her brother."
Shui glanced at him. "You do realize that sis Nuo is on my side, right?"
"..."
"You being her brother doesn't an that she will take your side, especially considering us."
Jin choked hard.
"Xiao and Alix are as close as sis Nuo and I are. It's not strange."
"Certainly…" he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
"That's why she is always worried about her. Ren Mui clearly doesn't like her."
Jin regained his composure and asked, "Did you learn anything during the ti you were giving art therapy lessons?"
Shui sighed. "For a long ti, Alix refused to even et because she rembered the trip and hated . Xiao finally managed to coax her in the end. Her drawings do express a lot of confusion. Like…she is helpless. She doesn't know what she wants but is still running towards it blindly."
"Strange…" he muttered.
"Seeing Alix now makes believe that whatever it was affecting her finally washed away when she woke up from the coma. But the question still remains as to what happened to her in the middle?"
By that ti, they reached the Han villa and Jin stopped the car in front of the gate. A mont of awkward silence remained.
"I will take my leave…Thanks for dropping and…for your help back at the hotel too…"
"Are you sure you are okay? I should co with you to drop off till ho."
"No, no!" Shui quickly said, "Mom and Dad will definitely sniff out that sothing went wrong and I don't want them to know what happened at the party. It will just worry them unnecessarily."
"Those are valid worries for parents to have."
She frowned. "Don't act too grown up."
He shrugged. "I am a handso twenty-seven years old mature man."
"..."
"Jin! Shui!!!"
They turned and saw Nuo furiously waving her hand at them from a distance. Jin smiled and waved at her from inside the car.
"You ca to drop Shui off?" She loudly asked from a distance trotting towards them.
He nodded.
"What did you say? You will also stay the night here? That's so aweso!! It will be fun!"
Jin and Shui - "..."
