Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 117 Expressive Dysphasia

Blood and brain both splattered onto his face. His eyes widened in disbelief and his mouth hung open. What on earth just happened? Did that damn woman send people to warn him? He felt numb all over. His brain could not process all that had just happen. He don’t even know how he should feel looking at the woman lying in a pool of blood with a disfigured face. Lily? Yu Ling? They had spent nearly a year together, yet he don’t even know who the hell is that woman. She must be a great actress to be able to fool him till this extent. Her purpose? Who is the person that is orchestrating everything? Why save him from confinement?

“Puzzled?”. Lee Han Ping turned to the voice that spoke. The person spoke fluent Chinese but with an foreign accent. Maybe Italian. The man reminded him of a character in the movie the godfather. An Italian mob. The man did not wait for him to respond but continue to speak.

“I didn’t expect you to be such a weakling Mr Lee. We had invested so much in you yet you can’t even do anything right. You should have just killed Jade when she irritated you. Be a man! Yes, we saved you because we wanted you to destroy Jade and Derek. We even created you a perfect partner but she was equally useless so we decided to discard her. My boss is unhappy with her performance. Not only that, she is disappointed in yours too but compare the two of you, she was even worse. Boss asked me to warn you, if you want to stay alive listen to us and we can make your dream come true. We can give you another woman if you want. Don’t screw up.” Al Paci said while slapping lightly Lee Han Ping’s cheek.

“Who is your boss?”

“Wrong question, people like you don’t deserve to know. It should be what is our next step?”

Al Paci replied ignoring the blazing anger in Lee Han Ping eyes.

“Don’t forget that you are just a pawn, don’t think too highly of yourself!” Al Paci threatened Lee Han Ping with a dagger placed on his throat, he could feel the sharp and cold metal pressing and piercing into his skin. Trickle of blood started to flow down his shoulder.

“Men! Clean up! You, wait for my call in another few days, stay put and don’t even think of running away, that woman installed a GPS tracker on your dick while you were having sex. You can try cutting it off if you want to successfully run away.” Al Paci said while pointing at Lee Han Ping.

Lee Han Ping recalled the sharp pain he felt when Yu Ling, no, not Yu Ling but Lily first gave him a blow job, she said it was because of her tongue piercing. FUCK! FUCK! Things were much better in confinement. Things are too complicated now. He thought to himself while observing the clean up team doing a marvellous job. Everything that had blood splatters were replaced with the exact same thing and placed at the exact spot. Once they were done, it was like Lily was never shot.

Jade was sitting by Father Lee’s bed praying hard for him to regain his consciousness. Her phone rang and it was Derek. She updated him on everything without leaving the tiniest detail. Derek was devastated with his father’s condition. He really is contemplating to turn back but looking at the big picture, he should just proceed as plan. Jade placed her phone at Father Lee’s ear so that Derek can say a word or two to Father Lee.

“Father! You promised you would wait until I have a dozen of children before you would leave to meet Mother. You promised you would help me train them play soccer and train one of them to be their club manager. Wake up! Jade is counting on you. I am also counting on you. I love you Pa.”

Jade was already silently crying listening to Derek’s words. She hung up the phone and she suddenly noticed some fingers movements. She quickly pressed the alarm for the doctor or the staff. They responded within 5 seconds. Father Lee’s eyes fluttered and he tried to speak but no sound produced.

He cleared his throat and tried again, “Babata.. Ga.. Yu.. Han.. Aaa..” Frustration was clearly written on his face.

Jade took out a pen and paper instead. “Try to write, Father.” He tried but failed as well. His handwriting changed to some squiggly writing and in the end the threw the pen in frustration. The doctor who was walking in almost got hit by the flying pen threw by Father Lee.

“Father, raised you left hand and stick out you tongue and pinch your nose.” Jade said to assess his understanding.

Father Lee obeyed Jade and proved to her that his understanding is still intact. The doctor explained that Father Lee has expressive dysphasia, he had difficulty in expressing himself with word finding difficulty. The doctor ordered the therapist make Lee Han Ping a communication board.
