Trial Of Love - Chapter 488

Elizabeth returned to her home without bidding farewell to Cris and President Chen. She really didn’t have the mood to face the man again. As usual, Wang Ji was trusted to drop the girl to her home.

“Thank you, Manager Wang.”

“You’re welcome.”

Wang Ji left despite him being invited to dinner. Since he had some unfinished doc.u.ments he needed to do.

“Darling, how did your day go?”

“It’s good.” Elizabeth responded as she kissed her mother on the cheeks.

“Hmm, will you be traveling with me?”

“I will, since I need to help Jackie with the preparation for her wedding.”

Lady Zhao recalled that it was indeed almost Jackie’s wedding. It had been postponed because of the girl, since Jackie couldn’t go through with such a special event without the girl. “I’m happy that Jackie can finally walk down the aisle.”

“Yeah, I kinda feel sorry and don’t wish to attend.”

��Why?”

“She pushed back her own wedding for me. What does that make me?”

“Hmm, I can’t answer that, but I’m sure Jackie has her own reasons.”

The two seated in the lounge area as they waited for the servants to call them for dinner.

“Will you go directly to the State?”

Elizabeth shook her head and answered, “No, I might visit our home first and stay for a day or two then go.”

“That’s a good idea, your grandparents will be so pleased.”

Elizabeth acted like a filial child, but the truth she wanted to go home and check something. Somehow, what Cris mentioned has been bothering her. If ever the major families of the underground society are involved with her disappearance. Their family would have records of who they are. She has been acquainted with some of them, but that was during her father’s birthday back then. Also, it’s been years since she actually met any of them.

“Darling, is something wrong?”

Elizabeth smiled bitterly as she spoke in such a depressing tone, “I just realize I was away for too long and missed quite a lot. In a few weeks, it’s Jackie’s wedding. Then a month later, it’s my brother’s son’s 100th day party.”

“Oh, darling, don’t be sad. I’m sure you’ll create more and happy memories with them. Don’t worry about the past and look forward to the future.”

Moments later, a maid came to inform them that dinner was ready. The two dined with Liu Yifie and Elder Chief Zhao, who came midway during dinner.

After dinner, Elizabeth went to her studio. She got her phone out and sent a message to someone. It didn’t even take a minute for the person to reply.

Liu Lingxin: [Don’t worry, I’m fine. Also, thank you for your present.]

Lizzy: [Thank you again for helping me, I know I must be a bother.]

Liu Lingxin who was in the medical research laboratory he was working at. He has been working on what the girl asked. He was perplexed by the way the girl was messaging him, it was not long when he realized what was going on.

Liu Lingxin: [Ha-ha, don’t worry since it was my grandfather who insisted. You really don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine, also, I’ll always be your friend.]

The man has this burning pain as his heart felt like it was being squeezed out its life. He had always fancied the girl since the day they first met. He too had long been waiting for her return. But he knows already that the girl can never be his.

Lizzy: [Thank you!]

Elizabeth puts her phone down with a dismal mood. She really felt regretful of what she’d done, but she had no choice.

They said, life is full of trials. In order to stand on top, you must learn to use those around you, even though it means hurting them. Since we live in a world full of lies and deceive, so one must never show their weakness.

It was almost midnight when Elizabeth returned to the main house. Before heading to her room, she went to visit and check if the baby is resting. When she arrived at the nursery, she was one of the nanny carrying and coaxing the baby to sleep.

“Young Miss…” The nanny was surprised to see the girl standing by the door.

“May I?” Elizabeth went over and asked if she could carry the baby.

The nanny didn’t say anything and handed the baby over. As she watches from the side, she observes the girl as she gently calms the baby back to sleep. She was astounded by what she was seeing. Who would have thought that the girl could handle a baby so perfectly. It made her wonder if the girl has ever taken care of a baby before. For the way she held the baby and coaxed it back to sleep was perfect, like a true mother. But, the more she ponders on it, she realizes there was no baby in the family apart from their current young master.

“Young Miss, you sure will be a great more.” The nanny complimented the girl since she was even better at taking care of the baby than Liu Yifie. She has been training the girl yet she is still lacking compared to the girl.

“You think so?” Elizabeth had this hopeful and somehow curious smile on her face.

“Yes, the way you handle the baby is perfect. It made me curious if the Young Miss had ever taken care of a baby before.”

Of course Elizabeth has not taken care of a baby before. But the more she looked at the baby, the more she was imagining another baby in her arms. Instead of a boy, it was a girl. With beautiful golden hazelnut hair almost like hers. The baby was yawning as she was sleepy and soon fell into a deep slumber.

“Athy…”

Elizabeth mumbled unconsciously, which surprised the nanny as she called out the girl’s attention.

“Young Miss, is something wrong?”

The girl was confused as she looked at the nanny and wondered what just happened. She looked at the baby in her arms and noticed it was her brother’s son.

What just happened?

She thought for a moment that she was seeing another baby… Or, could it be she was recalling another piece of her memory.

Elizabeth hurriedly, but gently placed the baby in its crib, she then bids the nanny good night as she returned to her room. Leaving the nanny to wonder what happened.

“I wonder who Athy is?” The nanny curiously wondered as it was the first time she had heard of the name.

Inside her room, the girl was all pale and baffled by what she just recalled. If what she imagined earlier was not a dream.

Then, who?

Who was the baby?

And, who does the baby belong to?

So many questions started battling in her head as she tried to solve them. But, the more she thinks about it the more clueless she is. Until, she recalls something important which she has forgotten since the time she woke up.

“Yun Shen, didn’t Shen have a daughter?”

That’s right.

Since the day she woke up, she hardly mentioned or thought about the little girl. Since, she couldn’t recall who the girl was. But, what bothers her was the image of Yun Shen’s daughter was somehow different from what she recalls.

Could it be?

She now doubts the identity of the little girl and whether she exists or not. The fact her memories of her faded, make things complicated.

Elizabeth grabs her phone again. She messages somehow hoping to let out what she feels.

[Young Princess shouldn’t you be sleeping, but don’t worry, I’m all ears.]

Before she felt the company earlier, she asked Wang Ji for President Chen’s number so she can easily contact the person.

Meanwhile, in Knights Park.

President Chen visited Cris to bring him some food. He was surprised when he suddenly received a message.

[Do you recall how we met?]

When the man saw the message, he realized who it was and whom the message was for. When he entered the apartment, he looked disheartedly at the man and said, “Here, for you.”

Cris was reaching out his hand to the food, but was confused when a phone landed in his hand instead.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“How I wish.”

President Chen didn’t say another word as he went to the chicken to prepare both their meals. He was brokenheartedly dragging himself to be the man’s servants, whilst being the girl’s messenger.

He sure must have lived a very terrible life in the past to be treated like a slave now

Cris was confused as to why the man was so gloomy and handing his phone to him. When he opened it and saw the message, he smiled and realized what caused the man’s heartache.

He carefully read the message and thought for a moment what to say. He needed to act like the idiot and at the same time not get caught that he was the one the girl was speaking to.

He had this glow on his face as he started typing the message he wished to send to the girl. He soon forgot the drama between them earlier…

President Chen peeked to see if the man had checked the message, when he saw how happy the man was. He felt so bitter and said, “She isn’t your girlfriend, why are you smiling like an idiot.”

He turned back with a heavy heart as he felt he was not loved at all.
