Chapter 198 - 193

"Who's lost?" Ling's dad asked and the female doctor shook her head.

"My child," Ling's mum ran over to the 'corpse'. "It can't be, right? You are playing a hoax. Stop this joke now. Vanessa! Wake up" she kept shaking the corpse but reality was harsh.

"She has been taken by the earth," said the female doctor and at once Ling's mum fainted. His dad just stood there unable to move. As for Ling, he kept staring into space, the baby nearly fell from his hands and a nurse quickly carried the baby from him.

"My daughter..." Ling's dad spoke, still unable to register what happened. His wife was quickly admitted to a female ward while his dad was taken to sit on a chair beside her in the room. Ling continued to stand there until his wife was covered with a white cloth and put on a bigger stretcher heading to the morgue. Ling mindlessly followed and asked that he should sleep beside her in case she got a cold. He wanted to warm her body up but the medical personnel took him out. He then knelt and hit the floor with his fists which unexpectedly created big cracks on it. "Wow! He's so strong" they thought.

"VANESSA" he yelled and clutched his chest gasping for breath. "No, she's sleeping. You can't let her be cold. I gotta go warm her bed so she won't be cold" he stood and tried to return to the morgue but was forcefully held by his bodyguards.

"Sir, please calm down," they said but Ling took no heed. The bodyguards were having a hard time holding him.

"WAHHHHH"

The cry of a baby was heard and Ling stopped struggling and turned around to see his baby, well dressed and practically struggling.

The nurse holding her really wanted to drop her. Not only was she heavy but....kinda strong. Is this an inheritance? Seeing Ling's behaviour, it could be. So two strong people birthed a super-strong baby? Ah, she wanted to cry now. Her hands were tired.

"Sir...your baby. What about her? She needs you" the nurse said and Ling tossed his guards away, walked towards the nurse and carried the baby gently, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Yao, mummy is gone. What do we do? Yao, don't cry anymore, hmm?" he kissed her forehead and the baby stopped crying.

"Daddy you fool, mummy isn't dead. Go bring her from that room now or you'll be toast"

"Eh!"Ling was shocked and nearly dropped the baby.

"Impudent! You wanna drop this princess?"

"Who are you?"Ling looked around and was shocked to see that everyone and everything had frozen in place. Everything except him and the baby. And the baby seemed to be pissed.

"Hurry up daddy"

Ling did not see the baby talking so who was messing with him?

"SIGH! Mummy must have made the wrong choice. Forget it, I'll go get her myself"

So the baby began to struggle. Ling was shocked at her strength. Was this really a baby? What the hell was going on here?

"How dare you doubt this princess. Just let me get to her, you'll be toast."

"You can telepath? "Ling asked and the baby ...nodded.

"You can understand me?"Ling asked again and the baby sighed.

"Stupid!" she cursed telepathically. "We only have a few minutes left. If you don't go in now, you'll never get the chance to warm her bed again."

"Okay, I'm going," Ling said determinedly and rushed with unnoticed greater speed to the morgue. The locked door instantly opened and the other corpses were floating in the air except for Vanessa.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Be silent and let me do my thing. Let go of me"

Ling put the baby on the bed beside Vanessa's body and the baby literally...started growing. Yeah, like really. She grew up to the size of a 3yr old and light covered her from head to toe. When the light faded, baby Yao was dressed in a purple princess gown, and holding an ancient book. It had a brown cover and was locked by strong vines that seemed to be alive.

"Open," baby Yao said and the vines receded. Then the book opened by itself to the middle page. She then turned to face her daddy and gave him the book.

Ling's mouth had dropped to the floor.

"Fool!" she muttered and told him to sit on the bed and read it. She then jumped down from the bed and Ling asked what she was doing.

"Father, I'll be back soon. Just keep reading it. Do to stop even if your mouth is hoarse. I f you do, I'll kill you. Got it?" she telepathed and Ling nodded.

"Be back safely, Yao" he muttered and she nodded in acceptance. She raised her gown a little and light covered her again and this time, her clothes changed into a yellow short gown with a lotus design. On her head was a golden tiara and her red hair was now green with a golden tiara on top.

"Recall what I said daddy," she said before pink butterfly wings grew out of her back and she flew out in great speed. Ling's eyes nearly fell out.

What was going on today? From the time, Vanessa was declared dead, things became abnormal. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't being tricked but the floating corpses were proof that he was still in reality and everything that he's seeing now is very real.

He looked down at the book baby Yao had given him and saw that it was in a strange language that he'd never seen in his entire life. A vase crashed in his mind. How would he read this?
