Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 116 Stroke
Lee Han Ping could only stare dagger at the lady in front of him. He failed to notice the one beside him acting all strange.
“You know what, you don’t have to act all courteous because even though your words sound polite but it is not with respect.” Lee Han Ping said in an annoyed tone.
“I am sorry Uncle in law, my grandmother taught me from young that respect needs to be earn. I am not sure if Uncle in law was taught differently but it is impossible because Derek was taught by father the exact same thing. Hmm.. By the way Miss Lily, are you feeling unwell? You look real pale, since I need to go to the hospital, let me take you there, I don’t want Uncle to think I’m heartless as well, I don’t want to be in the naughty list because I’m looking forward to a Christmas gift from Uncle in law this year.” She said with a fake big smile. Even Jason felt uneasy looking at the way she is smiling. Derek who was watching this live feed was brimming with happiness. You go girl! Slay them! He felt so proud. He wanted to shout to the whole world the line, “That’s my wife right there!!”
“What nonsense are you spouting?? Who is Miss Lily? Yu Ling…” Lee Han Ping stopped in his track as he stared at the woman beside him, suddenly he did not feel as assured as before, why is she trembling?
“Uncle, instead of killing me over and over again in your head, why don’t you take a look at the documents handed to you unless..”
“Dammit woman! Shut up! I know how to read!” He said agitatedly.
“I was about to say unless Uncle do not want to face the truth. Anyhow, it is none of my business, Jason, you are in charge in my absence, just make sure nobody dies here, if he wants a place to murder her, just recommend a place to him, I know we have a few. Miss Lily, I wish you all the best!”
She strutted out confidently. Once she boarded the car, her body slumped down, she patted her furiously beating heart, she quickly head to the hospital, worried about father’s condition. At the hospital, she was told Father Lee suffered from minor stroke and expected to gain consciousness within 24 hours. However this assumption is based on the scan but sometimes, it does not correlate clinically or doesn’t tally with the patient’s symptoms because maybe the scan was done at very early stage and the damaged to the brain has yet to progress.
On the other hand, Heather received news from one of the men she assigned to keep an eye on Lee Han Ping and Lily.
“Bad news! The cat is out of the bag! They know Lily’s identity!” he reported.
“Impossible!” Heather responded.
“They have proof! Someone has warned them ahead of time.” He mentioned.
“No, no, no, it can’t be.” Somehow, deep inside a face came to mind. That face, the face she tried to forget. Its the face of the girl who entered Alex’s world the same time as her. One night, when they were putting ointment on each other, that girl kissed her. It was her first kiss by a girl and she enjoyed it, different from the one Alex has given. After that, they started doing more than kissing and one night, they were caught and Alex beat the hell out of the two of them but Masha did not survived as her body was a little weak to begin with.
She had managed to get her revenge for her brother and Masha when she killed Alexander and she has thought she was over Masha but at that particular wedding that Chinese lady figure and demeanour reminded her of Masha that a sudden selfish desire birth in her heart. She then schemed to get that woman and even changed her face to look like Masha.
“Boss! Boss! Are you still there?”
Her thoughts were interrupted and she tried to remember her subordinate words, unable to recall, she asked “What did you just say just now?”
“Crystal was sighted in Singapore. She is still alive and she is with a man we believe to be Tom.” he reported.
“Tom???!!!!! SEND ME IN THE TWO IMBECILE I SEND TO KILL TOM, I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TORTURE SOMEONE.”
The person on the other line felt sorry for the two’s fate. “Boss, what is our next step?”
“Discard Lily! Tell Han Ping he still owes me a favor for getting him out, he will need to work with me to dethrone Derek Lee and kill Jade for her.” She said.
“Okay boss! What about Crystal and Tom?” he asked while cold sweats travelled down his spine.
“I want the news to be confirmed first! Get our partners in Singapore to investigate!”
Back at the office, Lee Han Ping was furiously going through the documents handed to him. He stared at Lily or Yu Ling with a complicated expression.
“I think it is time you two leave.” Jason announced.
Lee Han Ping dragged Lily out of the office and left. They were quiet throughout the ride back to their place. Once arrived, he threw the documents to her face. “Explain!”
Before she could open her mouth to explain, she was shot right in her face that her brain exploded out of her skull. Lee Han Ping was too stun to react.
