If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 13
Xiao Mei Zhi was sprinting independently in the forest that has been surrounded by a tower of pine trees, she turned around to see a black diamond pattern traced in a grey fur. It was blocking her sight. A rush of fury went through her until her entire body was unable to move.
[A sound of a door being closed : Slam]
She unhurriedly open her eyes. At first sight, her vision was not yet clear so she twinkled once again. The wolf’s beautiful pair of eyes that was seen before got perfectly printed again in her illusion.
It was a thick, bright gold eyes. She felt that it carries an internal spark of power. However, it shortly vanished as she started hearing people whispering out side the room. Her eyes wandered.
She surveyed the surrounding, and no one was there in the room with her.
She let out a slow, thankful breath, “That was just a dream,” She was not even sure if what she saw was the back or the front. It was all fur, imprecise.
[The door creaked as somebody was pushing it open]
“You can not connect with it or something?” She peeked at the person who opened it. It was Doctor Frei. She could recognize her mother and Doctor Gmeis behind.
Doctor Gmeis moved her head from left to right, “No, I do not think so.”
“Careful, I could easily lock you back inside the box.” She listened to his angry voice and the rumble that comes forth from his mouth.
Misses Zhi draped her arm over Doctor Frei’s shoulder, “Are you that angry?,” She then whispered some words that made Doctor Frei looked at Xiao Mei Zhi.
Xiao Mei Zhi had not seen her mother acted like that to anyone. All those years that they have been together, this was the first. She could definitely tell that her mother was glad to see him. But she only has one thing that she was not sure about, their tight friendship could be just a lie.
“Your daughter is awake now.” Doctor Frei notified Misses Zhi.
Misses Zhi shook her head, “We can discuss about it. In some other time.” Doctor Frei voluntarily shoved Misses Zhi away from him. “Go to your daughter, interrogate her if she wants to stay here in Tianjin.”
Doctor Gmeis flashed an evil grin at Doctor Frei, Xiao Mei Zhi saw it. Even if there was a length apart from hearing their voices it was obvious that they were discussing something serious.
Misses Zhi sat on the edge of the bed near her daughters waist, she quickly closed the distance between them. “Reach one of your hand out.” She told Xiao Mei Zhi.
“Why?” She hesistated doing it at first but her mother continued telling her.
“Just do it.” She held her hand out and Misses Zhi pulled her into a tight mother-daughter hug. She did not feel anything, no concern, no love, it was nothing.. Hugs were supposed to feel warm but at of this time, she was cold-blooded.
