If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 20

Misses Zhi peeked on the right side of the paper bag that she was carrying, she tried knocking at the door of their house twice since she was sure that her daughter has slept enough and was awake at a time like this.

When she was about to knock for the third time, the door itself opened. And Xiao Mei Zhi was standing on the dining area with the crutches support, her expression can not seem to be explained.

“I want to speak with Doctor Silver Freis.” She whispered before folding her lips into a thin harsh line. Was this part of the pressure he told her? She bet that he planned all of the strange happenings in her. But what proof can she give?

She glanced at the door and saw her mother standing.

“What is wrong with you? Why do you have another wound on your face?” Misses Zhi inquired and was not willing to leave the certain area she stands on.

Xiao Mei Zhi gradually shift her left-hand position to reach for her injured cheek , “Where?” She searched her face until a warm fluid can be felt on one of her finger. The left crutch then fell down on the floor.

Misses Zhi then touch her chest while she was holding the paper bags string, she sense of coldness taking over her. She realized that there will be a threat coming to her daughter.

“I see, that wind scratch me.” She looked at the blood sliding on her fingers, then she diverted her attention to what her mother was bringing. “Mother, what are you even holding?” She tried to change the topic. The injury from her face starts to sting. She does not like recognizing a tiny bit of pain. And as much as possible it would be better if no one see her hurting.

“This,” Misses Zhi raises the paper bag on her right hand, “I bought this for us to have new clothes, new shoes, new house materials like cups, plates and extra mini rice cooker.”

Xiao Mei Zhi was shocked to hear the information. After all those years? Why would her mother act like this now? And one thing she wanted to verify was–

“A lot of strange things happened to you, Mother. But I do not need your reason. I only need a answer, have you also decided to stop drinking?”

Misses Zhi nodded.

“Do you think that I did not plan on stopping? I was just hibernating my pow-I meant my self.”

Over the years, Xiao Mei Zhi finally heard her mother agreed to it.

But what happened next made Xiao Mei Zhi twitched. Four lanky unknown people randomly entered their house, wearing a raven, fitted racer jacket.

Misses Zhi throws the paper bags on the sofa before telling her daughter, “Here take this,” she swiftly throw the card with Doctor Freis number towards Xiao Mei Zhi. “Run!”

She hook the card with her shaky hands but then how can she run fast? She has an injured foot! She was greatly panicking.

“Dang it Xiao Mei! I said run, forget your injury! Go now!”

Misses Zhi defended herself at the one edge of the group as she watch her daughter tried to move faster while taking the crutches. She looked back at the attackers to realize they were,

“Vampires. . ” Misses Zhis eyes widened as the rivals made an attack.

Doctor Gmeis car was waiting on the side of their house, fortunately Xiao Mei Zhi achieved in escaping through the window. It was hard but she listened to her mother,

“Tiny Cactus! Come on, double time!” Doctor Gmeis yelled at her inside the car at the driver’s seat, “Whatever you do, do not look back!” But it was to late for Doctor Gmeis to stop Xiao Mei Zhi on looking back.

She saw her mother looking at her with a knife stabbed on her chest. Until she can not hear anything else.

A one drop of tear made her mind alternate.
