Chapter 346 – The Mafia King Cannot Grant Lihua’s Wish

Wei anxiously held her shoulders. "Lihua. Look at me…"

"Wei, she will come back, right?" She said, "We are sisters and she said that we will always stay together. She cannot break her promise. What will I do without her? She knows that I am hopeless if she doesn't guide me. So-so…she has to come back."

Wei had nothing to respond.

Lihua gritted her teeth and pulled his shirt. "Say that she will come back! Y-You cannot kill her, Wei…" .

"Lihua…I am…" he held her cheeks between his palms and begged her. "I am really sorry…One chance, Lihua. Please give me one chance…"

Lihua stared at him. Her hand trembled as she raised it to slap him.

Wei didn't back off. He was ready to face any punishment she would give. He shut his eyes, waiting for the slap.

But it never came.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw her hand collapse.

Lihua laughed as tears streamed down. "I…I cannot even slap you be-because I have made the biggest mistake. I married my sister's murderer."

Wei stiffened.

"I fell in love with the man who killed my family. I let that man touch me whose hands are stained with her blood. I…I am really so dumb."

"Lihua…"

"Haha…" the tears didn't stop even though her eyes were tired and aching. "Th-that's why everybody calls me dumb. I am so stupid. I was happily spending my days with a man who has ruined everything for me. I was so foolish. What right do I have to punish you? I should be the one to be punished-"

"No!" Wei jolted. "It's all my fault, Lihua. Pl-please don't blame yourself. I know I should have told you the truth, but I couldn't gather the courage…I am scared, Lihua. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will accept any punishment you give me, but please don't leave me…"

"Can you bring her back?"

Wei clenched his jaw.

"You say that you will do anything I want, right? Then bring my sister back. What happened? Why aren't you saying anything? Bring my sister back, Wei! Bring her back!"

She shook him hard and shouted helplessly. "Bring her back! You…you cannot take her away from me, Wei. She has done so much for me. But I haven't done anything back. I haven't given my gratitude for raising me. I haven't done anything good for her! I want to make her happy too just like she always made me happy…Wei why…Why you? Why did you have to do that? H-How am I supposed to live my life now? Without her… without you…What will I do now?"

Suddenly, Jia jolted awake with a sharp breath.

"Lihua!"

Her hand was raised in the air as if she was trying to hold somebody. Her breaths were messy and her forehead was covered in sweat. She touched her chest and felt her heart thudding in fear.

Jia had a nightmare where she saw Lihua crying a lot. She was lost, helpless and in pain. Her eyes looked so dead that it made Jia shiver. She looked broken and betrayed. In that dream, she tried to reach her. She tried to hold her hand and pat her head like she always did whenever Lihua was worried about something.

But she couldn't reach her. It was as if the distance between them never ended no matter how much she kept walking towards her. And then Lihua was gone. She couldn't find her anywhere.

Jia gulped and her eyes teared up.

Lihua…my little sister…

What would she be doing now? Where would she be now? Is she eating properly? How are her studies going on? She was never bright in academics. Is she having trouble with the tests? Is anybody bullying her? Is she seeing someone?

Is she… worried about me?

I had promised I would message her. Is thinking that I am too busy with my life and ignoring her? Is she feeling lonely?

Jia's gaze dimmed.

Lihua, I know I am making you wait for a long time. But please be strong…I will definitely come back to you. Please don't misunderstand your sister.

"Um…"

She jolted from her daze. It was Lu Bojing who hesitatingly called out. "You suddenly woke up like that. Are you feeling sick?"

"…I am fine. Leave me alone," there was a hint of coldness in her voice. After all, he worked for Mingshen and was helping him to keep her imprisoned in his lab.

Jia wasn't feeling sick. But somehow, she had this gnawing feeling in her heart that Lihua was very close to her. She was crying and desperately calling out for her.

Lihua…

Lihua walked out of the room. Mingshen stared at her as he saw her fumbling her way out.

"Lihua!" Wei chased her and blocked her way. "Where are you going? Lihua, please… don't go…"

But she dazedly ignored him and walked past him. He stood rooted to his place. His heart twisted in pain.

Lihua didn't know where she was going. She could hardly make the way out. Her mind was blank and she couldn't think straight.

Sis…

Lost in her thoughts, she stumbled and was about to fall.

"Lihua!" Wei widened his eyes and stretched out his hand to reach her.

But Mingshen took a big stride towards her and already caught her waist in time. Wei's hand froze in mid-air. He was relieved that she wasn't hurt.

Lihua blankly raised her head and her gaze met Mingshen's eyes that were staring straight at her.

He narrowed his eyes. "Careful."

She didn't react. A few moments later, she pushed him away.

"Mrs. Jiang. I cannot let you behave like that anymore. You cannot even walk straight."

She self-deprecatingly laughed. "Yes… It's because I am dumb that I always make so many mistakes…"

Mingshen tilted his head. "No, I mean it. Until you snap out of that state, you should sit in one place. You cannot afford to fall anymore. You are pregnant, after all."
