Chapter 234 - Confrontation
Tristan wanted to talk to Zhen-Zhen about what happened, but after seeing her worried and troubled expression because of the man lying on her bed, Tristan decided to talk to her some other time.
Zhen-Zhen's mind was clouded by worries and concerns for that man whom she called father.
After they broke the hug, Zhen-Zhen asked Tristan, "Tristan, where's FaMo?"
Zhen-Zhen had a bad feeling about this. She knew it was impossible for her father to suddenly appear. She was thinking that FaMo could be the person lying on her bed right now.
Tristan scratched his head as he remembered FaMo. He was with him when they went to Meyer's house to see Zhen-Zhen. But after knowing that Zhen-Zhen was missing, he immediately went to search for her, thus leaving FaMo in Meyer's house.
"I left him in Ma and PA's house. Wait I will call them." Tristan came out of her room to find his phone.
"Argh, I forgot. My phone is in my car. And my car… I think it's still on the highway in the middle of the streets." Tristan mumbled to himself as he remembered what happened to him a while ago.
"Is that what they called teleportation from one place to another?"
Tristan just called Meyer's landline number using a telephone.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen went back to FaMo's side. She was so sure that she heard FaMo's voice in the mountain. She felt his presence a while ago when FaMo and her inner demon were having some arguments at Mt. Calypso.
FaMo tried to stop her inner demon from leaving this world but he failed. Zhen-Zhen could somehow grasp the situation now. FaMo might be the one who brought Tristan to the Mountain peak.
After thinking about it, Zhen-Zhen was now certain. The person lying on her bed who looked like her father was none other than FaMo.
Zhen-Zhen held FaMo's hand. Her eyes became misty again and tears began to fall.
"This is my fault. FaMo, I'm really sorry. Please wake up soon. I didn't know what to do. Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo are already gone. You're the only one I have now. Please don't leave me. Please be well. I missed you, FaMo." Zhen-Zhen said with her anxious voice.
She was praying that FaMo would be better soon. She didn't know what she could do to help him. She tried to pass and transferred her life energy to him. But FaMo still remained unconscious.
Zhen-Zhen was also exhausted, physically, emotionally, and mentally. She had used a lot of magical powers when her inner demon opened the portal. She used the same amount of energy when she closed the portal after sending back the guardian warrior.
She wanted to heal FaMo so she tried to give him her remaining energy. She put her two hands on his chest and started releasing her aura, concentrating those energies going to her palm and transferring them to FaMo's body.
Orange lights were coming out of her hand. It was being absorbed by FaMo's body. Zhen-Zhen was busy transferring her life energy to FaMo when Tristan entered the room.
Tristan could see the sadness and fear in Zhen-Zhen's eyes. He noticed that Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes were back.
He was about to approach her when he stopped on his track upon noticing Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes changed again into black.
'Damn?! Don't tell me Zhen-Zhen will change her attitude and personality again,' Tristan thought to himself, feeling alarmed.
He already had a phobia when Zhen-Zhen's eyes were black. It did not take long when Zhen-Zhen suddenly collapsed on her bed.
"Zhen-Zhen!!" Tristan immediately dashed in her direction.
***********
Zhen-Zhen fainted because of too much exhaustion. She drained her energy as she transferred it to FaMo. FaMo was still unconscious. Tristan brought Zhen-Zhen into his room. He watched over her in her sleep.
He sat beside her, stroking her hair, and caressing her face. Tristan was glad that Zhen-Zhen didn't leave. She stayed with him.
"I'm sorry wifey. I'm really sorry," Tristan mumbled softly. His eyes filled with regrets.
As if Zhen-Zhen had heard his voice, she opened her eyes to see Tristan. Her eyes were still black. But that color was different from her inner demon's eyes. This happened because she hadn't recovered her lost energy yet.
"Tristan…"
"Yes, wifey. I am here." Tristan caressed her face.
Zhen-Zhen sat up. Tristan helped her. He let her lean on the headboard of his bed.
"How do you feel?" Tristan felt relieved because it looked like Zhen-Zhen was back to her usual self.
"I'm fine. Just tired," Zhen-Zhen answered him with her weak voice.
"Zhen-Zhen, about what happened…" Tristan didn't know how to continue.
Zhen-Zhen looked at him straight into his eyes and said, "Tristan… are everything you said to me in the mountain true?"
Tristan held her hands and responded, "Yes, it's all true."
"Are you not going to leave me? Are you not going to divorce me?" Zhen-Zhen asked him with her desperate voice. She needed reassurance from him.
"Of course not, why should I do that?" Tristan promptly reacted.
Zhen-Zhen lowered her gaze.
"Your cousins said you will divorce me once you get tired of me. They said you are just using me. Tristan, you said you love me. But I know you love Hannah too. I saw the video. They showed me your video. You said that Hannah was the only woman you wanted. So who am I to you, Tristan? What am I to you?" Zhen-Zhen finally found her courage to confront Tristan.
"Hannah also loves you. So I thought you were going to leave me and be together with her," Zhen-Zhen added.
Because of her cowardice, FaMo was hurt. She learned her lesson. She needed to be strong, not only physically but also emotionally. She shouldn't have let her inner demon dominate her body. She hurt Tristan and FaMo. She regretted everything.
Meanwhile, Tristan's face darkened upon hearing that. He already had an idea who were the cousins she was referring to. It looked like he had a lot of explaining things to do for Zhen-Zhen.
