Bab 69: Cold
"How are you feeling?" Derek asked with concern.
"Cold. At one point my heart was freezing, I felt I have returned to the period before Mama came into my life and to the point when I lost her. It felt so cold. When I saw you at the door waiting for me, this icy heart instantly thawed and the warmth came flooding back and blood begun to flow once again. Hug me please." Jade spoke in a bare whisper.
Derek heard her loud and clear, he took both of her hands gently and embrace her tightly. Jade started sobbing pitifully. After a good 5 minutes of sobbing, she wiped those tears away and took a deep breath and said, "I have a mother but it is definitely not that woman in there. My mother is already in heaven, Mama, I miss you. Based on my dictionary definition, Mama Lu was more of a mother to me than that woman. I never shed any tears for all the emotional abuse I went through because of that woman and today I shed it all. I won't shed another tears for this matter."
Derek wiped away those remaining tears lovingly and said, "We will make her pay for all your sadness and the pain she made us suffer."
"Do you think I'm evil and that I should go to hell?" Jade asked timidly.
"My dearest wife does not have a shred of evil in her heart, if you did, you would not give April and Chris another chance, you could have flush Aileen out when you knew she was not being truthful and Chris even wanted to stop her even before she begun to plot but you rather wait and see, because you believe in the human heart. Now, which evil woman would do all those? You have been cornered till you are left with no choice. Jade your heart is even purer than mine. I love you no matter what, if God was to give out judgement and condemn you to hell, I'll gladly follow you to hell too." Derek said as he hug his wife tighter and buried his head at the crook of her neck.
"I love you too, Derek Lee. Each morning, when I wake up and see your face next to mine, your arms around me, and feeling your breath on my skin, then only I'm convinced that you are real and I have not been dreaming. To be able to feel and experience such happiness is way beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you." Jade expressed her love to Derek.
Chris's eyes were a bit teary watching the two lovebirds in front of him. He knew Jade had been through a lot growing up and felt guilty because he estranged himself from her instead of helping her. He cleared his throat to get their attention, "The police are on their way. I think we should make that woman a little presentable" He was referring to ex- Madam Lu.
A few employees went into the room and cleaned up Madam Lu, took away Mr Qi and cleared away any evidence of any wrong doings.
The police came and took statements from everyone, took with them the evidence and left as swiftly as they arrived. They took Mr Qi, Madam Lu, and Miss Tee into custody.
Beijing was in an uproar the next day with the press release by the Lu siblings. They could not believe that such evil woman exist, harming her own child. Crystal who was paying attention to the news was furious that the Lu siblings managed to escaped unscathed. She hated that Adam was not implicated in the scandal. That useless old fool had been demoted as well.
She now has to find other resources to attack this family. She is unsure if she could seduce Derek, because she could see the level of love and adoration he held for Jade. I will make things difficult for the couple, Crystal vowed. She sent updates to Heather regarding the Lu siblings, Adam and Derek. She wanted Heather to use her network to dig up information on each and everyone, so that she can use it to break their soul.
Her identity has been exposed and she was told Adam has started digging into her past, she prays that Heather had cover her past well and Adam does not find out the truth. She can't seduce Chris either as he would recognise her. Her only option is to find their weaknesses and orchestrate from the shadows.
Heather managed to find out that Derek had an uncle locked up on a remote island. This uncle had great hatred towards Derek. Crystal felt that she may have hit the jackpot. She need to look further into this and starts planning. Once she has set her sights on her targets she will never let them go.
Crystal's mind unwillingly blast back to her past, back when she was 7 years old. Someone pushed her off the swing that she was sitting and she started crying. A boy her age appeared in front of her and offered her his hand, she blinked at him a few times and accepted his hand. He placed her behind him and he pushed the fat kid that had pushed her down earlier and then he took her again and they ran for their life. That fat kid was a known bully, 2 years older than them. The son of a prominent politician, hence, no teacher dare to take any action on him.
They ran so fast and came to an empty playground and they hid in one of the tunnels. The boy that had avenged here was panting loudly from all the running they did and had a big smile on his face and started laughing. "Hahahaha, that fatty dropped flat on his face! That was so fun, I don't think he managed to even look at my face. We should be safe. Hahaha"
"Who.. who are you?" Crystal asked.
"Adam. I have always wanted to teach the fatty a lesson. He had been bullying people since kindergarten."
"Fee Vien. Family and friends calls me Vivien. Thanks for avenging me."
"I didn't do it for you. I have been itching to get back to him. I didn't see him following us just now, I think it should be safe. I got to go" Adam said nonchalantly and left the dreamy Vivien behind.
Crystal shook her head. She tried her hardest to suppress those memories.
