Chapter 366 - 367: The Price-II

Xiao Yun stared at the flowers unblinkingly. Where was she? Who was she in this memory now? She was sitting next to a tree beside her. Taking a look around, she tried to stand up and her body moved. It seemed that this memory wasn't the continuous of the dream she had last time. She was curious about the reason why Andy agreed to work with Choi Yeon Jun but standing here, she felt her heart very calm and soothed.

Xiao Yun walked a few steps away from the tree, her feet moving against the flowers that brushed to her legs and feel the wind blowing over her again from times to times. She didn't know where she was going but walking in the green field, she felt as if her body knows where she should go to.

She continued to walk although it was far, she didn't felt tired at all as she was inside a dream. Her feet suddenly cane to a halt when she arrived at one home. The home was small and looked like a traditional wooden house that was often made for a small family. It was closed off from others and she saw that around of the small house was a fence guarding the house. The fence stopped around her waist and at the top was wires placed as if to fend people or animals away from the house. She wondered what happened inside the house and heard a sound of cryings from the other side of the gate, sounding from inside the house. She ran quickly trying to climb over the fence but there was the wire that hinder her from doing so.

Xiao Yun didn't want to risk herself by climbing with the wire and wounded by the sharp edges. She looked around trying to find another way for her to enter until she saw a small place where the woods seemed older than others and when she tried to push the wooden plank, the old wood concaved inside, making a small place for a child to enter to. She was not sure if she could enter but when she tried, unexpectedly, she could enter the small hole in ease.

Without forgetting to close the wooden fence again, she ran from the place and entered the house to follow the sound of crying which had turn to sobbings now. When she reach to the window where she heard the crying from, her hand push the window slightly to see a faint figure of a woman crying while rubbing her swollen stomach.

"Please." said the woman whose hair was golden in color. Her tears streamed down from her eyes and it was a horrible cry that had her feel bad for her as the woman was pregnant. On the other side was a man with a tall figure his expression was stern and when he looked at the woman who cried, a grin appeared to his smile.

"Your husband is dead. What else do you want to do with this?" he asked bringing up his hand to the air to show a golden ring.

"You don't know anything!" she cried, her eyes stared at him hatefully. "That's not yours. It's the only thing he left for me. Do you have to take everything from me until you're satisfied?!" she yelled and when she did, she felt her stomach hurt and crouched down for her body to turn into a ball.

"Hernely, my love, don't be stubborn. Look you're getting pained aren't you?" The man wickedly scoffed. "You should give birth to my son in less than a week don't stress yourself."

Hernely only glared at the man. In the situation, Xiao Yun could understand what scene this was. Mrs. Hernely and Choi Yeon Jun's father, Choi Senjin, the name Hernely had called him with earlier.

Xiao Yunhad heard it before from Choi Yeon Jun's mouth that Mrs. Hernely was kidnapped by his father, Choi Sunji and seeing the situation in front of her she guessed this memory was of the time where Mrs. Hernely was kidnapped by Choi Sunji. It didn't seem from the interaction that the two had a good relationship but Mrs. Sophia claimed that Hernely disappeared and there was the possibility that she had disappeared because she want to run away from the responsibilities placed on her plate. But Xiao Yun had seen how Mrs. Sophia had beaten Andy in his childhood and she doubt there would still be truth coming from the woman's mouth.

Her eyes then shifted to Mrs. Hernely's stomach. Xiao Yun guessed the baby Mrs. Hernely was pregnant with was Choi Yeon Jun and as if in the same time she thought of his name, Choi Sunji spoke, "I have decided the name of our son. Choi Yeon Jun, a good name isn't it?" the man inquired but there was no answer Hernely would answer toward him. "Will you not answer me?" he asked and his voice turned cold and chilling.

"I don't have anything to say to you." she clenched her hand. "Kidnapping me here, doing this to me, what's not enough for you?!"

"Fine. Keep your silence. We will see if you could still be silent until the end. I will come back again. Take care of yourself." said the man before sliding the door close. Hernely who was alone broke again to tears.

Xiao Yun found the news to be immensely sickening. She felt immense disgust and hatred that brew inside her toward Chu Sunji and felt bad for Mrs. Hernely. But she didn't know if she could feel sad for Choi Yeon Jun. The hatred in her was taking over her that she couldn't forgive him for what he had done.

Xiao Yun took a step back and when she did, suddenly Mrs. Hernely turned her head toward her spot before the whole view dipped in black. For a long time in the memory, Xiao Yun had never met someone with eye contact as she now she was transparent akin to a ghost which made her surprised to see that Mrs. Hernely looked at her back with their eyes locking at each other. Perhaps she had been imagining it? But the gaze felt very direct toward her that she didn't know if Mrs. Hernely was looking at her.
