217 Freedom? Part-3

Li Juan didn't have the heart to wake up her big sister who was looking so pure and innocent as if she didn't belong to this dirty world.

Li Juan decided to wait for her big sister to wake up but during the process of waiting, Li Juan's eyelids felt so heavy that it became difficult for her to stay awake against it. 

Therefore, in a matter of a few minutes, she also slept beside Liu Ruolan.

Liu Ruolan was the person who always liked privacy except when the person was Bo Xiao. In that case, she didn't mind the violation of her privacy.

Soon after when she woke up, she found Liu Juan on her bed sleeping soundly. Instantly, Liu Ruolan had the urge to kick her out of her room but thinking about her plan with their boss, she controlled her displeasure and let Liu Juan sleep beside her.

On the other hand, Liu Juan hadn't slept well for a long time because of her nightmare but now she was sleeping soundly without any care of time until she heard some movement in the room.

Liu Juan opened her drowsy eyes and found Liu Ruolan's smiling face.

"Juan, wake up. It's time to have lunch!" Liu Ruolan said in a sweet voice while her bright smile was exactly like the way she used to call her to have lunch when they were young, living in an orphanage.

Many times, Liu Juan felt that her life was blissful in the orphanage where she lived with her big sister. Even though many children bullied her, it was nothing compared to the torture she had faced.

Seeing that her big sister was waking her up to have lunch with her, how could she disobey her order?

Liu Juan jumped and freshened up to accompany her big sister for lunch. She was never a foodie but when Liu Ruolan was filling her plate from time to time, Liu Juan couldn't help but finish up everything in a matter of a few minutes.

Liu Juan never gave thought about the taste of food before as she ate only to survive but now every dish seemed to be delicious. Her appetite had increased greatly now that she couldn't wait to endeavor everything.

"Cough...Cough!!!" In the hassle, it was inevitable that food would go down the wrong pipe. 

"Slow down Juan." Liu Ruolan immediately filled a glass of water for her sister to drink and caringly patted her back.

Liu Juan's eyes were slightly red but seeing the caring nature of her big sister, her eyes had turned more red. Her tears couldn't stop rolling down her cheeks.

Liu Ruolan frowned when she saw the tears in Liu Juan's eyes as she didn't expect that Liu Juan would cry.

Such a weak girl!

Liu Ruolan really hated weak girls, though it was a different thing that she also pretended to be a damsel in distress in front of Bo Xiao.

She wanted to show disdain but for the sake of her plan but she controlled her emotions. 

"Look at you, still a cry baby. What is there to cry, huh?" Liu Ruolan wiped her tears gently.

Liu Juan sniffed and tried to control her tears "Big Sister, are you angry with me?" Liu Juan was here to clear their misunderstanding.

Hearing her question, Liu Ruolan stiffened for a moment but then she turned normal "Yes, I am."

Liu Ruolan's simple reply sank Liu Juan's heart but she knew that it was her fault.

"Do you remember what you said to me that night, Juan?" Liu Ruolan stood up and walked towards the window to look down at the maids who were cleaning the garden.

Hearing Liu Ruolan's question, a voice echoed in Liu Juan's mind 'Big Sis, I will come back and save you. I promise…'

How could Liu Juan forget that?

She always remembered that she had promised her Big Sis which she didn't fulfill. However, the situation afterward turned out to be such that she needed help the most which she didn't dare tell her big sister about those horrifying years of her life in fear of breaking her big sister's heart as she knew that her big sister still loved her the most.

"You promised me that you would come and save me but...you didn't come." Liu Ruolan still quivered recalling the night when Mr. Jin had tortured her by beating her to the death and afterward…

If Bo Xiao wouldn't have come at the right moment, Liu Ruolan wouldn't have been standing alive today.

All those horrible things had happened to her because she trusted Liu Juan and was ready to run away from the orphanage with her and with Mr. Jin... considering him as a good person! In reality, he was worse than a beast.

Liu Ruolan turned around and looked at Liu Juan. Her eyes filled with nothing but resentment and she furiously asked, "Tell me, Juan, how can I not be angry at you? If Bo Xiao wouldn't have come that night, do you know what would have happened to me? I wouldn't have been alive today. Tell me, Juan, why didn't you come? You promised me that you would come and save me. How could you run away leaving me behind? We had promised to stay together in any situation so how could you leave? Tell me, Juan! Tell me!"
