Chapter 240 - It's better that the truth remained hidden in the future too.

Introducing her happily to the staffs of her cafe and giving some more orders to her staffs, Mother Wu then took Lifen to a table to have a hearty talk with her.

Lifen was already very much pleased to see such good condition of cafe. She said, "Mumma! the shop seems to run smoothly now. It must be because of Brother Yifeng hardwork and capabilities".

Mother Wu's expression changed suddenly turning her happiness into disappointment. Her eyes held some untold sorrows.

Lifen too notice the unusual change in her mother that made her worried for her. She has thought that now on return of Yifeng, she would be happy but the look of sorrow and disappointment made her confused.

"Mumma, is everything fine? Where is Brother Yifeng. Deming has told me that he has returned two years back. Where is he?", she turned her head around once again in search if Yifeng.

The tears that Mother Wu has held for years came out instantly when felt the warmth care in Lifen's heart. "Yifeng has returned. That's true but...", she paused for some seconds then continued,  "but he is not same as before anymore".

Lifen couldn't get her words properly at first but suddenly she felt more anxious taking it for the worst, "Mumma, what are you saying? Where is Brother Yifeng?" She asked as she held Mother Wu's hands in worry.

"When he was brought back two years back, he was in the vegetative state.  He body was wholly paralyzed. He is admitted in the Imperial Hospital for his treatment", the aged woman said while dropping her head down. Her voice was laced with sadness and grief.

"How did that happen? Previously Deming...", she was about to say something but Mother Wu suddenly looked up. Her eyes held gratitude.

"Lifen, we should thanks Mr.Wang greatly. Without him we won't  be able to do anything.  He really helped us a lot", she said with utmost gratitude,  even her eyes were saying the satisfaction she felt in her heart.

Lifen just looked at her to understand what's exactly was going on.

She continued, "Without his help, we wouldn't have taken our lives this further. It was because of him that Yifeng was brought back and has got in care of such capable doctors. He even made sure all ways in which this coffee-shop could run well".

"Even these staffs are approved and appointed by him", she said as she looked around the cafe.

When Lifen has left two years back, Deming has come to ask her parents about her whereabouts but they too didn't knew about her so simply denied. 

But he never lost his hope, he would come everyday to ask them about her until he confirmed that Lifen whereabouts were really unknown to them too.

Searching her in all directions, he remembered the promise he made to her and decided that he should fulfill the promise he made, so he  found Yifeng bringing him back to the Wu family.

When he found Yifeng, he was already lost in the world of drugs. The doctors said that his condition was like that because of the intake of dreadest drug Synthetic Cathinones. It has made his condition this worst going into paralysis.

Since previously, Jie has too got the treatment for this drug present in her body, Deming gave the prescription used for her to the doctors which rrally helped them figure out a good way to treat him.

Later Deming made arrangements and has given some desserts contract from his hotels to Impresso-Expresso and had also helped them to in getting some of the best staffs to help them.

At first, the Wu couple didn't wanted to accept his help but Deming's insistence really made them fail.

When Lifen heard all this from her mother she really felt touched. She never have thought that Deming can really have such a heart which can help people to such great extents.

She knew that he was good to her and his care for her was 100% genuine but she never have thought that he cared not only for her but also for the people that were arounnd her.

"Girl, tell me something.  Is there something going on between you and Mr.Wang because the way he has come to ask about you was not that simple.  His love for you has always been clear in his eyes. And all the things he did for us was not something that anyone can do", she said taking a look at Lifen's changing expression.

"Mumma, he is the boy about whom I have always talked to you. The boy from my childhood who has promised me his return", Lifen said as she waited for her mothers reaction.

Mother Wu doesn't know how to react to such news. She could only stare her daughter.  After God knows how much time, she asked, "But girl, I don't think he knows this fact because..."

Before she could complete her words, Lifen nodded her head confirming her thoughts, "You are right Mumma. He doesn't know that fact yet. But that doesn't matter. The thing that is true between us is that we have realized our feeling for each other".

Mother Wu nodded at her daughter's words. 

Lifen continued,  "And I am not planning to reveal it . There is nothing left in the past. If the past is revealed it will only bring sorrows and regrets. So it's better to leave past be in the past. Please Mumma, I am requesting you too don't reveal this to him in any way".

It's not that Lifen doesn't wanted to reaveal her identity from Deming's memories but she was fearing that after he gets to know it would bring him regret and self humiliation.

He would regret treating Lifen so badly and hurting her when it was him who has promised to protect her. He would doubt on his own capabilities for taking a wrong person as her. He would start blaming everything on himself when it was not actually his mistake.

She knew her grandfather has hid her identity so well that even the power of Deming was unable to get to her. She doesn't want him to blame himself and then take punishments. So she thought it's better that the truth remained hidden in the future too.

But at this moment, someone's voice came from behind in a question, "Little Cat! Why haven't you waited for me?"
