When the door opened, Wang Wei was shocked and relieved at the same time to see the person. "Xiao Li." He said.
Lu Lan froze. Her heart shook at that moment.
Her sadness and anger resurfaced again hearing that Si Li had arrived.
Even everyone stopped playing and turned their attention towards the door and then darted back to Lu Lan.
Who stood to walk inside the room and locked the door without saying a word or looking back.
"I am here to bring Lan and Little Champ with me back to Diamond Hills." Si Li said. Although he desperately wanted to rush inside the house, he couldn't be disrespectful to Wang Wei, especially since Lu Lan was upset with him.
"Yes-yes. Come in--" Wang Wei moved to allow Si Li to enter and they heard a 'thud' sound of the door closing.
It was the most obvious reaction from Lu Lan. After all, she had just lost her child, and her husband was nowhere to be found. Even so, everyone fell silent awkwardly.
Si Li looked at Si Yan. Call it to be brothers' inward connection, Si Yan understood Si Li's hint and suggested. "Ah...I was thinking...since the weather is nice outside, why don't we go for a walk?"
Si Yan looked at Wang Yan beggingly to accompany him outside. So that the couple could have some time to work things out, and Lu Lan and Little Champ could return to Diamond Hills.
Wang Yan cast a lethal look at Si Yan. She was angry at Si Li on behalf of her sister, even though she did not look up at Si Li with a hatred look.
She would beat Si Li up if she could for hurting her sister, but she knew her strength and fighting skills were inferior to Si Li's.
Unlike Wang Yan, Little Champ glared angrily at Si Li. In fact, he was prepared to fight Si Li. Despite he was a small kid, he was determined to avenge his mother.
But Wang Yan pulled him up "Come on, Little Champ."
Little Champ gave a threatening look at Si Li before leaving with Wang Yan and others which deliver a message clearly. 'If you don't make mummy happy, see what will I do?'
Si Li did not get offended because everyone knew that Little Champ was very possessive of Lu Lan.
Things would be more difficult now that Lu Lan had lost her unborn child.
But that was for later; right now, Si Li needed to wheedle Lu Lan.
Everyone had gone out, leaving behind Si Li and Lu Lan alone.
"Lan, please...open the door." Si Li came to stand in front of the door and said gently.
But there was no response from within.
In fact, there was no sound from within.
Si Li waited for a few more minutes. In the end, he walked to the kitchen, found out a fork, and used it to open the door.
His gaze scanned the room, eventually landing on a frail silhouette standing on the balcony.
The cold breeze brushed pass through her. Fortunately, she had dressed warmly.
Lu Lan's gaze was drawn to the bright city B. Many thoughts raced through her mind, but she was acutely aware of Si Li's presence inside the room.
She was well aware that he would track her down wherever she went. Be it at her uncle's house or anywhere else.
She could not escape from him and not that she wanted. Although she was sad and angry, her mind had calmed down a bit.
Perhaps…
"Go back. I don't want to come back with you." Lu Lan stated that she needed time to accept the fact that her husband did not love her as much as she did him.
Her voice was tranquil. No one could understand how she felt at that moment.
But if Si Li could not understand her then he didn't deserve to be her husband.
He approached her and hugged her from behind. "You could cry if you wanted to." He softly whispered beside her ear.
"I don't... want to. Go away." She stuttered, despite her words, tears welled up in her eyes.
Which always seemed to appear against her will.
She bit her lips to keep her sobs from escaping, but the tears streamed down her cheeks, making her feel humiliated.
Si Li's heart was broken to see her tears, and he knew it wasn't the first time she'd cried.
He cursed himself for failing to protect their child and inflicting great harm on her.
Perhaps, he was no different from Mo Jiang.
He turned her around to make her face him and said. "Shout at me, you want."
She smirked at his words which looked very terrible. "Shouting at you, why should I do that? I am not angry at you---"
"Lan--"
"Because I know even if I get angry at you, my child neither would return nor you consider important me. After all, we have a contract marriage.
"Lan…"
"I said go away!" Lu Lan pushed him forcefully which affect her injury above her ċhėst.
She staggered back in pain, her eyes redder with tears that had welled up in pain, but she did not cry in pain.
Her eyes were showing peculiar emotions to which he was not familiar.
Si Li frowned seeing her. Her expression indicated that she was in pain, but she chose not to show it to him and remained unconcerned.
Si Li wanted to explain but she wasn't giving him a chance.
"You have hurt yourself." Si Li said through gritted his teeth. This kind of feeling not only hurt him, but it also made him angry Of course, angry at himself.
He wanted to get closer to her but was afraid she would aggravate her injury.
"So what? Why do you care?" She snarled.
Soon, the bloodstain showed up in her cloth. Her injury has opened up.
"I know you are angry at me but you need to treat up your--"
"Get out." Lu Lan said. She did not want to listen to him.
"Lan--"
"I said go away otherwise I will leave." Lu Lan did not give him any chance and stormed off from the balcony. Si Li walked behind her but suddenly, a special tone rang of 'Life' App.
"F*ck." He cursed.
He took out his phone to look at it and a message appeared "Victim escape."
He frowned deeper.
Mo Jiang escaped. How was it possible?
The hospital's security was so tight that no one could enter without permission, not even Si Li. So, how did Mo Jiang escape?
Then Si Li's mind diverted to the incident where he saw Mo Jiang was walking around the hospital and even talked to the men in charge of security.
"Bast*rd." Si Li cursed.
But where did he go?
Moreover, Lu Lan had also left the room and her injury had opened.
Si Li was put in delimma.. Should he go after Lu Lan or go to find Mo Jiang? After all, Mo Jiang was also an injured man.
