Bab 40: Her scary past
"okay, when you were four, you fractured your radius and at some point grandma Li flew to Torsey and brought you along. She said that the medical doctors here in Freedonia are unprofessional and she didn't want anyone to harm her granddaughter any more,"
When Niko told her that, she didn't know how to react. She was not surprised with what her grandma Li did. She was always overprotective when it comes to her. However, flying to another country was unreasonable. Doctors here in her country were professionals yet when it comes to her Grandma's standards, they're always the lowest.
"then, what happened next?" she eagerly asked wanting to connect the puzzle pieces together.
Niko sighed and recalled the times, "When you and Zi Xin—it's fine to say his name right? Anyways, back to the story, when the two of you were playing in old Wang's manor, you accidentally hit your head on the wall for playing hide and seek and grandma Li immediately called your health insurance company but old Wang settled the problem down by talking to her that such things happen,"
" oh my gosh, how can rich people waste their money? "she suddenly remarked.
Niko laughed and told her," says the person who will inherit almost everything,"
" anyways, tell me what happened more, it's not making any sense, "
What she didn't know was that Niko was secretly putting the pieces together. She didn't say anything related to Julius but it seemed for Niko that someone from their family's past was trying to resurface and mess with them.
Niko was also trying not to spill all the dirty little secrets their family kept from her and with just one plead from her, he would've spilled everything.
"well, I guess I'll call you later. Thank you so much, bye~" she quickly ended the call and called Jun.
Meanwhile, Jun was negotiating with Julius, almost sparking up some conflict with him. As of this moment, Julius speaking up would be very much helpful. Sadly, Jun wasn't the patient one.
He was stuck in Louise's office as the detective went to investigate Julius further. Within an hour later, she came back with her journal filled with information.
Immediately, Jun stood up and was about to snatch the journal when she hid it behind her and pushed him away. He growled when he was pushed by her.
"calm down," she said, as she sat down on her chair.
"before I tell you everything I knew, keep your mind straight and not off the hook. Things might get messy around,"
Jun was clearly confused. Surely, he thought that Liana's family was something else and his family might be also in trouble, but never in a millisecond he did thought of backing out. He's still going to marry her.
"I'm a person with intelligence," he roughly said while crossing his legs.
She rolled her eyes and continued to explain it to him. "apparently, all he's thinking was revenge. What I think is that something happened when your fiancée was 7 or something. Same time he lost his job. He said that his wife just gave birth to a local hospital in Estersnow—"
"Estersnow is far from White Hospital since it's located in District 4 and the distance is about 1.5 miles," he quoted.
Swallowing, she proceeded to give him the information, " well, he lived in Estersnow with his family. He's the breadwinner. No matter how far his workplace is, he would still work as long as he could provide the basic needs of his family. Going back, he lost his job because of her parents. He said something about a simple mistake and that's all he said. I'm checking the White Hospital for more information and I'm checking his address, "
Jun sighed deeply and thanked her before his phone rang. Jun quickly ran from the building and to his car. He answered Liana's call as he started driving. She complained about her brother but he wasn't really listening.
He was trying to put it altogether and planned on how to ask help from her family members. He might not be so close with them but when it comes to her all things are necessary.
"hey, I'm almost there, I'll end the call," he softly called.
She sighed and reassured him, "okay, I'll be here, take care"
When he arrived, she walked towards him and engulfed him with a warm hug before they walked over to the living room with his hand on her waist, of course.
"what did you get?" she asked after handing him a glass of water. She sat down opposite him, to her couch and flopped down.
Ashley and Victoria were currently back to their houses and will return shortly.
"hey baby, do you remember what happened when you were 7?" he asked.
She raised her head and recalled the time. She didn't really remember everything. Only the time when she was rushed to the hospital.
"I don't really remember but I was rushed to the hospital. Is something wrong? Was the incident connected with the criminal?" she walked over him and sat beside him.
"Niko didn't really told me much and I'm pretty much accurate in him putting the pieces already,"
In his mind, he was thinking about Niko. He might knew about what happened 14 years ago. A 16 year old teenager could know a lot of things, especially when he is a member of the Stone family. After all, a family's secret is well hidden.

Jeliane143 Oh my gosh, I haven't publish any chapter for almost 2 weeks right? I'm truly sorry about that. I was really about to write but I figured out, I should relax my mind a bit since I'm writing 2 stories. I'm trying to just go with the flow. I hope that this book will receive attention too as much as my other book was receiving.
Happy reading everyone ? ? ?
