EARLIER THAT DAY.....
It was funny to Tom how the tables suddenly turned seeing Lisa standing between him and the door refusing to let him leave the Hotel room.
At least, it was a good thing she had stopped crying and sulking even though he would have preferred her to just cry her out heart instead of repressing it all.
While he was trying to console her when she cried earlier, she suddenly got up from the bed and went inside the bathroom. When she returned few minutes later, she had already washed the tears off her face and cleaned it with a towel. Although her eyes were still red and she still looked down, she tried not to show it. Just how many pains and burdens had she been suppressing? He wondered sadly as he watched her.
She had tried to leave the Hotel room to go see her aunt, Chou Biyu in her restaurant since she was too impatient to know all about her family and the truth about her uncle. But Li Chen and Tom had held her back.
