Lihua tiredly opened her eyes and the first face she saw was of a worried and crying Lu Bojing.
"Y-You are awake!"
Words cannot describe how happy he felt. Qingqing jumped at Lihua's side and nudged her furry face against her cheek.
Don't scare others like that, human! You are my servant. A Queen's servant cannot be that weak!
Lihua asked, "Where am I…"
Lu Bojing wiped his eyes and stamred, "B-back at Jiang Zhen's house...He refused to let you in the hospital. S-So…" he shivered, "t-that man…"
Lihua frowned. She saw a small saline bottle hung at the top by the bedside. "Who…"
He hugged himself and found it difficult to speak. "L-Li-"
"Ah, so you are awake!"
Qingqing imdiately hissed as Li Dong stepped in. Lu Bojing's color turned pale once again.
Behind Li Dong was Jia who had made her presence completely unnoticeable. Her heart beat fast and tears stung in her eyes seeing Lihua conscious again. She felt as if she had almost died seeing her faint.
Li Dong smiled. "How are you?" He extended his hand to take her pulse, but Lu Bojing slapped it away. Qingqing was just as ready to strike him with her sharp paws.
oww!!
Don't touch my servant!
Li Dong paused and narrowed his eyes. "Subject 026 seed to have grown so balls in my absence."
"D-D-Don't touch Song Lihua….S-stay away…" he breathed hard.
"Ah but you still stamr in fear. I like it. You didn't disappoint , after all."
Lu Bojing burst into tears.
Li Dong glanced at Lihua and smiled. "Don't worry. I won't poison you. You don't need to throw daggers at . You are very precious to Jiang Zhen, especially your baby~ I have been ordered to nurse you back to health."
"...out. Get out!" She gasped and took deep breaths. "You and Jiang Zhen...I... don't want to see your faces at all! You disgust ! Get out!"
Suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her abdon.
Lu Bojing shook his head, feeling horrified. "P-please don't get agitated. N-not g-good-"
"You better stop shouting, young lady, or you will lose your child. You have no clue how much your stress hormones are bouncing back and forth in your body," he chuckled. "Those hormones are lethal for your child. You don't need to necessarily fall for a miscarriage to happen. Just keep screaming like that, and the job is done."
Lihua froze. Tears pooled in her eyes. Today was a horrible day. Too many things got exposed, and she didn't even have the liberty to feel depressed.
"...Leave. Please leave," she tiredly said.
Jia instinctively moved her hand towards her but stopped just in ti.
Lihua…
Li Dong shrugged. "Whatever. I will co back for a checkup again. You better behave and not scream at like that. I have a short fuse, you know. You can ask Bojing if you want. He knows it, right subject 026?" He smiled.
Lu Bojing shuddered.
Li Dong looked back at Jia. "What are you standing like a statue like that? Getting emotional for this woman?"
The frost returned in her gaze. "No, Boss."
"Gooood~ I like you. If you want to work with , you ain't got any feelings, understand that. Follow ."
Jia gazed at her for a second before she went away with him.
Lihua asked, "What happened after I…"
Lu Bojing sniffled. "We took you back here, and the Jiang family was sent back. Jiang Zhen said that he will make their lives miserable from now on."
"And Wei?"
Lu Bojing hesitated.
"Tell Bojing. Where is Wei?"
"He-he is still at the base…"
Her eyes slowly widened. "Is Shen Yang h-hurting him?"
Lu Bojing took her hand in his and anxiously. "Please don't worry about him. He-he will be fine. Jiang Z-Zhen will not kill him."
She dryly laughed. "He wants to see us in pain...he wants to laugh at us as we cry…"
He said nothing.
"But Wei won't cry. He... won't."
He quickly said, "Don't think about what happened now. You need to rest. I will press your head. You sleep."
"I don't want to. I want to ask you sothing."
"Yes?"
"How is it that I don't rember when I t Wei in the past? I... really don't recall eting him in my childhood."
Lu Bojing pursed his lips. "You shouldn't stress about this."
She smiled. "I am not. Believe . I just want to know."
"R-really?"
"En. I don't want to hurt my baby. I won't be tense, I promise."
Lu Bojing thought about it. "I-I also don't rember parts of my childhood, and I know it's because I have shut them myself due to extre trauma."
She was imdiately concerned about him. "It's that doctor, Li Dong, right? Was he the one who kidnapped you?"
He lowered his head. "I don't know. Don't rember...I just recognized his voice from sowhere and then a dark place. And then I see myself in bruises. I rember Boss asking what happened during that period when I first ca to Yang mansion. But I was blank. S-So he told that my mind was shutting those mories out to protect because they were too much to bear. It doesn't necessarily an that I have amnesia. Do you get flashes of mories sotis that you don't understand? Or so weird dreams of your childhood?"
Lihua thought about it. "No. Not really. I never had such strange dreams before…"
"It might be because there was no trigger for all these years."
"But when I t Wei for the first ti in college, couldn't that be a trigger? But I felt no familiarity."
"But he also easily attracted you. It might not be just his face, but subconsciously, your mind knew that you knew him from before. Do you trust people easily?"
"N-not that quickly…"
She rembered the first ti she t Jia's friend and cop, Mo Huojin and even Lu Bojing as her neighbor. There was a sense of awareness for both of them like anybody would when they t a stranger.
But it wasn't like that with Wei. It felt so natural to like him at first glance.
"But only Wei was different."
