Anna Lu - Chapter 47 Graduating!
Anna never meant to keep that encounter from them but, she hadn’t told them how she ended up training here in the first place.
Although they were very close to each other, Anna couldn’t bring herself to tell them. She didn’t know if it was because she didn’t want their pity or because she didn’t want them to see her differently.
Amber and Angel were the only thing closest to a family she had here since Dr Joon left.
Anna was not surprised when she found out she was Jason’s mother, both of them do have a knack for pushing their patients to their limits.
Two years passed and suddenly the girls felt like it was the longest and most stressful two years of their life.
It was two days to Graduation but Eve decided to call it a coronation.
The remaining 23 girls who remained decided to have a little gathering just to celebrate on their own. That was the night Anna finally met Bai Sheng’s mother.
The trio arrived a bit earlier than others, they had a little party of their own before the other girls arrived.
“I invited my mom” Angel said smiling at both the girls. Amber raised her eyebrows “You finally found her?” They had been searching for Angel’s mother for a while now because it turned out she wasn’t an instructor neither a previous barrette.
Some one said she came here often that was why Angel wanted to come here. Bai Sheng had come to take her a few years back because he felt their parents were neglecting her just like they did to him. When he found out Angel was being bullied in school and his parents did nothing about it, he got angry and caused a scene.
Angel finally spotted her mother a few days ago and she seemed to be in a hurry so Angel agreed to meet her here.
“She said she was going to come”
Anna nodded, she knew it was none of her concern but she had a few questions she wanted to ask that woman. Why she would treat a child she carried for nine months the way she did?
It bugged her, she wanted to know the reason why Bai Sheng had to live such a life at a young age.
“Anna?….why do you look so lost in though?” Anna shook her head “Nothing”
Amber who was already used to her cold replies shrugged.
“Angel….”
The trio turned their heads to the the owner of the voice. There was a woman standing at the entrance, she looked at least 40. No one would believe this woman was going to be 56 in a few months.
“Mom!” Angel ram over to the woman’s side and hugged her, the woman seemed extremely happy as she hugged the girl back.
“My little Angel ” she smiled.
Zhang Xi Yao loved no one else as much as she loved her daughter, she fought tooth and nail to keep her daughter by her side but Bai Sheng said she was too irresponsible as a mother.
She couldn’t retort because she knew it was the truth, not a day passed by that she didn’t regret not standing up to her husband when he disowned Bai Sheng.
She had not seen her son for the past six years now and although she wanted to see him, she knew he hated her and would never forgive her for not giving him the live of a mother when he needed it the most.
She stared at her daughter who she hadn’t seen in almost six years and couldn’t stop her tears. Before she was in such a hurry she didn’t look at her daughter very well to realize how much she looked like her now.
“I missed you so much” Angel said emotionally.
“I missed you more Angel….I missed both you and your brother so much” she realized she was wrong, she didn’t act like a mother at all to him. He must have been very hurt by her, she wanted to make things right with him.
Hearing her words, Anna’s questions came to a halt ‘She missed Bai Sheng as well?’
Staring at their lovely reunion Anna smiled for the first time in a long time. She thought of her birth mother, would their reunion be like this?
She thought of Nathan’s promise to her before, unfortunately he couldn’t fulfill his promise because he had no idea where her father had sent their mother to.
Anna’s expression turned cold at the thought of that man. He was clearly crazy! hurting his family this way was definitely craziness.
“You must be Angel’s friends” Xi Yao stared at the girls with a warm expression.
“Mom, this is Anna and Amber. They have been taking care of me for the pasttwo years” Angel said with bright eyes.
Anna and Amber bowed slightly at the woman.
“Its nice to finally meet you Mrs Zhang” Amber said smiling, she realized Angel saying her mother was pretty was just an understatement! That explained Angel’s good looks.
Anna nodded at the woman before handing her a drink “Please Mrs Zhang, we’re having a celebration today so….no tears”
Xi Yao laughed and wiped her face “Yes, yes. okay girls. Let’s have fun then”
Angel was the first person to start speaking. She didn’t stop blabbering about her experiences when training and how she met the girls.
The atmosphere became very lively when the other ladies arrived.
They danced and had fun till it was late and everyone returned to their respected rooms.
Angel reluctantly part with her mother and friends and left first because she was feeling slightly tipsy.
As for Amber, she was dead drunk and Anna had to take her to her room personally.
After so much difficulty, Anna finally put the girl down on the bed while she was smiling stupidly and speaking gibberish.
Anna sighed and covered the girl with her blanket. Turning around to leave, Amber held her wrists tightly.
“He thinks I’m dead…he still thinks he killed . Hahahaha” Amber laughed lazily her eyes half closed
“But….its my fault though….I broke his heart….I betrayed him”
Anna patted the girl’s head. Just like her, Amber hadn’t told any of them about her past. She was the oldest among all of them but also the most secretive.
“Then you apologize to him…” Anna said to the girl before leaving.
After she closed the door, the girl in the room closed her heavy eyelids and sighed “You can tell him for me…..”
