Chapter 173 - 173 Master Liu

As soon as everything was ready, they left the hospital and boarded the car which would bring them to the airport where Nathan's Boeing 777 private plane was waiting.

The flight was rather calm and relax to say the least.

Nathan had agreed to the suggestion to put Eunji to sleep during the entire flight as he was afraid that she would once again suffer from motion sickness if she'd be awake during the entire flight.

As soon as the plane landed in Beijing, a black Rolls Royce limousine was already waiting for them in the tarmac.

A few close people were also there waiting for their arrival.

They were the senior Mo couple, Mo Jing-sheng and Kelly, Hua Zhang Wei, Kim Jeong Ho, Alice, Iris, Guo Xiaolan, Yun Mei, Wen Zhen, Marie and Fu Rong.

J who came in late also came along with them as he patiently waited for Kim Eunji to come back.

An ambulance was also waiting on stand-by as they still had to bring Kim Eunji to Mo Hospital for observation. That was if Nathan would not change his mind.

As soon as the door of the airplane opened, every one were stood rooted on the ground as they impatiently waited for the couple to come out of the airplane.

The first to come out was Mike Roland followed by Mei. An Qi, Derek who was carrying a wheelchair with him and their other colleagues came out of the airplane one by one.

Then finally, they saw Nathan carrying the sleeping Eunji in his arms with the IV drip attached in her right hand as he slowly descended on the ramp.

Marco and Darren who was holding the IV bag was following behind them. It was already six in the evening when they landed and it's almost time for dinner.

As soon as Nathan's foot landed on the ground he slowly placed Kim Eunji on the wheelchair and made sure that she was comfortably seated in there.

Everyone who saw this very scene were broken-hearted considering the fact that they had all witnessed how happy the couple, especially Eunji, were before they left for this honeymoon trip.

Who would have thought that when they come back, Eunji would be like this?

Aside from J and Kelly, everyone had no idea about what really happened to Eunji so all they had in mind were theories and speculations.

Nathan didn't expect that they would be coming though. As much as possible, he didn't want them to know of his wife's condition at the moment.

Kim Eunji who realized that she was no longer inside the plane had finally woken up.

However her reaction was still the same.

"We've arrived Wifey. One more drive and we'll arrive in our house. How's that sound?" Nathan said as he kissed her forehead full of affection.

Kelly who saw her best friend in this condition the second time around started to sob in her husband's arms.

All Mo Jing-sheng could do was to hug his wife to console her. He thought that she's being emotional seeing her best friend in this condition but he didn't know the deeper meaning of her cry.

"It's okay. Eunji will be okay." He coaxed.

Everyone was worried for Eunji especially when they saw that she looked lost.

They could not accept that fact. They wanted to approach the couple but Mike gave them a warning look.

Nathan pushed Kim Eunji's wheelchair until they reached the limousine. He then helped her to get inside. Once he made sure that she was safely buckled up, Nathan decided to go out for a while to talk to them.

"I know you have a lot of questions and I have a lot of explanations to do. But this is not the right place for that. If you want, you may follow me in our residence and let's talk there." Nathan then left short after he said that.

Everyone had a mutual understanding and agreed to Nathan's suggestion.

Nathan didn't follow the original plan of bringing Eunji to the Mo Hospital and let her to recover there.

He had better plans for her.

---

The trip going to Eunji and Nathan's mansion was peaceful and quiet.

Eunji let Nathan to hug her all through out the journey which made Nathan to be happy.

Mike was right. Eunji must have felt that everyone she knew and knew about her past had betrayed her and it was Nathan who told her the truth so she only trusted him.

This explained her reaction towards him.

Maybe because she was really worn out of the trip, Eunji had fallen asleep mid-way.

---

When the group arrived inside Nathan and Eunji's residence, they were impressed at how big the whole estate was.

Well, perks of choosing to build a residence closer to the rural area near the mountains.

Nathan immediately carried Eunji to their room which was now converted into her hospital suite.

Nathan's trusted team of cardiologist who were already waiting for them inside the house immediately followed them inside.

They immediately checked Kim Eunji to make sure that the entire trip didn't affect her heart operation.

From now on, they would always be on standby to check on Eunji from time to time.

An Qi also followed them inside and watched at how her fellow doctors seriously monitored Kim Eunji's condition.

Though she was finally awake, her body was still weak.

Before they could even finish doing their task, the door swung open revealing a middle-aged looking man with long black and grey hair fixed in half-ponytail that reached his waist. He was holding a fan on his right hand with a golden silk pouch hanging on his waist.

He was wearing a Tang suit with a dragon embroidery in the front, and a pants.

"Out! Don't touch her!" The man roared in anger.

The doctors who were busy with Kim Eunji felt like they're authority was being questioned by this unknown man.

"Who do you think you are?" One of them asked him.

"Ask him of who I am. You better disappear from my sight before I'll poke all of your eyes with my needles." The man arrogantly refuted.

The doctors then looked at Nathan to see for his reaction.

They thought that this unannounced entry would anger Nathan but to their surprise, Nathan even bowed down to this man.

Nathan's next action had even made them dumbfounded.

"Master! Thank you for coming. I thought you would not head my request for you to treat Eunji." He politely said.

"Silly brat. This is our first meeting but I'm very satisfied by your attitude. Rest assured, I'll treat Eve with all my heart. Now if you could please get them out of here the better. And oh, call me Master Liu." The man said.

"Right away Master Liu." Nathan then turned his attention to the team of specialist whom he hired to check on his wife and said, "You heard Master Liu. Please leave and wait for me outside."

"But..." One of them wanted to protest but Nathan's tone had change.

"Leave." He coldly said.

"Am I included?" An Qi asked as soon as her fellow doctors left the room immediately as they were afraid to be in Nathan's bad side.

"Yes. Including you Nathan boy. Lend your wife to me. I don't like other people around while I am checking on her. As much as possible, I want to start her treatment tonight but I doubt I could formulate the medicine instantly."

Nathan wanted to protest but seeing his attitude, he decided to obey him and followed An Qi in leaving the room.

But before he did, Nathan approached Kim Eunji and kissed her forehead.

As soon as Nathan left, Master Liu approached Eunji and stood beside her bed.

A sad smile appeared on his face as he said, "Silly child. I told you not to use that technique. You have not fully mastered it. Using it prematurely would only cause complications to you. And look at how it caused you."

He then heaved a huge sigh as he took her hand and checked on her wrist.

Meanwhile, the moment Nathan left the room, a lot of eyes were waiting for to be noticed by him.

They were eagerly waiting for his explanation.

Mike was also joining the group as he waited for Nathan to join them.

"Nathan...what happened?" Madame Mo asked the moment she saw Nathan getting closer to them.

She could no longer tolerate being left in the dark. After all, they were talking about Eunji, her precious god daughter.

Nathan then looked at his mom, Mei and mouthed 'thank you' to her for respecting their privacy.

Nathan then took the seat on the center and exhaled deeply as he looked at them.

"Aunty, every one...as much as I hated to admit this...but I failed to protect our Eunji from harm." He finally said.

"What? What do you mean?" Madame Mo asked him once again.

"I already said it. I failed to protect her from the pain that was brought upon by the fact that her parents had died a long time ago. The memory that she had forgotten for six years." Nathan explained.

Everyone gasped upon realizing that.

"Wait... I thought she knew that her parents were dead that's why she was alone now. What's going on?" Kim Jeong Ho asked as he was really confused by this revelation.

"No Jeong Ho. My wife...she was forced to leave her parents in order for her to gain the freedom and the simple life she had been dreaming of ever since she was a child. I could not explain to you the full details of it as I'm in no position to do so. But one thing I could say, my wife...she's not someone who came from an ordinary family like us. Her family came from a different world."

"Are you telling me that sister-in-law's an alien?" Hua Zhang Wei butted in.

"Her beauty might be otherworldly but no. My wife's not an alien. I'm talking about their lifestyle and background." Nathan patiently explained.

"Oh." Hua Zhang Wei was rendered speechless.

Nathan somehow envied this friend of his for being simple minded sometimes.

"She has to die so she could be reborn again into a different person which was far from who she was in her previous life."

"Growing up in an known and influential family, they had gathered supporters and of course enemies. One of those enemies happened to find about her and even followed us in the Philippines."

J's eyes widened in shock when he heard Nathan's statement.

He had some idea how strong Kim Eunji's enemies were. He had to know in order to help her in protecting herself.

When she was away, the reign on who was the strongest had shifted and someone would always come on top.

Jake who always thought of Eunji as his number one competitor on the top spot had ranked down up to the fifth spot because he was slacking off.

Therefore, there would always be someone stronger than him though.

Unfortunately, it was hard to know the identity of the fourth to first rank mercenaries in the underworld. Since Eunji was proclaimed dead, her name was listed in the legendary mercenary list.

And if these other four had found out that she's alive, J was sure that they would not stop at nothing just to hunt her and defeat her.

"Who came? Who's the person you're talking about?" J anxiously asked Nathan.

"His name's Jake. And seems like Eunji knew him very well."

"Where is he now?" J asked Nathan.

"Dead."
