Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 102 Healing
Crystal was living in fear, she felt cornered. She knew Heather would have been looking for her too but somehow, she did not want to return to Heather after knowing the truth about the incident with Fabian and how everything was orchestrated by Heather just to get her. There is also Tom, who is being held by Derek. Her mind is in a mess, she could not think straight and plan. She could not care less what Heather would think about her disappearance. What she did not know was Derek’s men was not looking for her anymore. Derek was betting on her to look for him.
On the other end, Heather was fuming mad with her subordinates, “What do you mean, you lost her? She is nowhere to be tracked? Her tracker was removed??! You also don’t know if she has been captured?? Incompetent Fools! USELESS!!” She was so angry that she picked up the gun and just simply shoot whoever she saw. After she saw red, her heart was still not content. She felt it was a mistake to let Crystal have too much freedom but she could not bear to see Crystal all caged up.
Heather looked at her trusted aide and simply commanded, “Go back to the place and try and get as much information you can. Comb every street and every house, motels, inns and underground for her. FIND HER! If she was captured, get her back! Find any digital evidence of her past 48 hours activity before she disappear.”
At April’s condominium.
Adam woke up first and he gently lifted April off his arm, he gave her a kiss on her forehead, he then head to the kitchen to make breakfast for two. She woke up to a delicious smell of scrambled eggs. She wanted to get out of bed but was stopped by Adam. He told her to sit still and he will serve her breakfast. Amazingly after the intense night they both had, she didn’t have any more flashbacks of the ****. She fell asleep to his love song, his promise of love. She smiled at him beautifully thinking of last night memories. Adam was taken by surprised he never thought he would get to see this smile at least for few months but he was wrong.
Derek was right, Derek had shared with him his experience with Jade when he was drugged. The Lu women are definitely strong character. He could not help but admire and worship April that he did not hear the door bell ringing. April snapped him out of his trance. He shook his head in disbelief that he spaced out. “Your smile is just so blinding and mesmerising that you took my breath away, darling.” He said as he placed the breakfast tray on the bed.
It was Dr Sin, with Chris, Derek and Jade at the door. Dr Sin was surprised to see a glowing April eating scrambled egg, minced chicken oat congee made by Adam. The temperature was just right as to not burn her injured mouth. Accompanying the congee is freshly made green apple and celery juice and a slice of papaya. He is satisfied with Adam as Adam had followed his instruction to add fibre to April’s diet to avoid constipation as to prevent April’s torn anus from hurting when she pass motion. Jade quickly made way to April’s side and asked if she was alright and of she was hurting anywhere. The sight of April’s badly bruised face and body was truly horrifying and saddening.
Jade clenched her fist, angry at those bastards that did this. At this very moment those two guys are suffering tortures worst than death. They truly wish they could die but death would be too easy on them. They fingers and toes all broken. Their mouth stuffed with a huge steel rod that it broke all their teeth. Their anus were violated with glass bottle until the bottle broken and the shards were left in situ to prick their fragile anal skin.
April patted Jade’s clenched fist, “I am alright. Don’t get all upset because of me.”
“If I don’t get all upset for my sister, who else should I get upset for. Don’t worry, this debt we will collect.” Jade said ignoring April’s words.
April felt her heart swell with happiness. Being protected and love really make one feel good. She smiled at Jade widely like a silly child. Jade could not help but pat her head. Dr Sin was really happy with the level of care April is receiving, he is sure April will be up and about in no time. He loves to see family interaction such as this. He observed Derek leaning against the wall casually in a relaxed stance talking to Chris and Adam. His heart blossomed because he never thought he’d get to witness such scene like this with Derek in it. Derek after the incident of his mother’s death had been cold and unfeeling. Never underestimate the power of love. After doing a routine check to ensure everything is fine, he left the family of four chatting leisurely.
April asked for Chris to submit her proposal on her behalf, she had already made a video presentation prior to her current condition as she was practicing for the presentation, she asked him to submit the video presentation and she will answer any questions via a video conference. She allowed Chris to explain her situation to the board of directors. Both Jade and Chris agreed with April’s suggestion.
They are truly impressed with April’s level of maturity and endurance. Their baby sister truly have grown into a formidable woman worthy to call as their sister. April had come a long way and had realised her potentials by herself. April was beaming with happiness because she could see the level of adoration in their eyes for her. She felt nothing is impossible and truly can overcome this hurdle with everyone’s support.
Tom who was recuperating at the military hospital heard what had happened to April and is worried for Crystal. Despite all that Crystal had done, he felt he cannot abandon her. No matter what, as long as she wants him, he will be there by her side.
