If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 12
Misses Zhi seemed to be looking around quickly, without any focus. So Doctor Gmeis take in a empty styro cup on her right hand and placed it on the single serve coffee maker.
“Tell me. . . what got you so nervous out of the blue after I said she will be fine?” Doctor Gmeis asked as the empty cup has been filled with a warm brewed coffee.
The cup was almost full, Misses Zhi stared at it. “Have you tried being a mother?” She verified. Doctor Gmeis suddenly changed her mood, the inner corners of her eyebrows were deliberately pulled up together with her upper eyelids drooped and eyes looking down at the coffee.
With setting aside the mistakes that they have done as a witch from the past, Doctor Gmeis admits her lost before, “I was once a mother,” she gawked at Misses Zhi with a stoical grin-and-bear-it attitude. “I killed my own daughter to prove my loyalty to the merciless Alpha before.”
The sound of a last drop of coffee from the cup got Misses Zhi thinking, “When I was being chased were you still a desolated witch?”, Her mood calmed down.
“Yes. Before I met you and the rest of your pack, I have to show my loyalty first to that monster. But I was selfish, when I killed my daughter, I realized how precious her life was. It was to late to bring her back to life. So I take this step. I started to learn how to be a surgeon and it got me here. Far away from them.” Doctor Gmeis talked while walking towards Misses Zhi.
“Your situation before is similar to me now,” Misses Zhi said while Doctor Gmeis focus her eyes on holding the mouth of the cup tightly, to make sure it would not slip easily away from her thumb and index finger. It was a bit hot.
“Now it seems we can talk about something related to the future Alpha since you asked me about being a mother.” Misses Zhi expected an exchange of favors by using questions, “Alright, I will only answer it if your question stays in the line.” She reminded Doctor Gmeis with her limits.
“Sure. I will keep my self off to that limits.” Doctor Gmeis handed over the mouth of the cup to Misses Zhi gently to avoid incidents.
Misses Zhi studied the surface of the coffee, making sure it was not mixed with any witches power, “Take it first so that we can continue talking.”
When she was sure that there was nothing, she gladly took the cup away from Doctor Gmeis hold, “Do you have any clue about what the future Alpha from Switzerland is capable of?”
Misses Zhi drank a little from the bitter cup of coffee, she responded after, “I was told just a while ago about that.”
“Then you must know this, you have to let your daughter go with you. Take her somewhere far. Far away from here.”
“I will but not now. She has a future too. And I can not just rob that away from her like a thief. Tell that to Silver. ”
“Will she be ready if she finds out?” Doctor Gmeis analyzed Misses Zhis side. Misses Zhi could not wait to know the name of the future Alpha and what does he look like. He could possibly show up here in Tianjin, anytime.
“I will make sure that she will be ready.”
