Chapter 215 - Close Your Eyes

The next day, Elizabeth was unable to get up from bed. Liying and Wang Ji were so worried when they found out she disappeared from the party and fainted in the showers.

"Li Zi, what happened last night?" Wang Ji concernedly asked.

"Bro Wang, I'm sorry, I suddenly didn't feel well last night."

"Sis Li Zi, you should have asked me to accompany you." Liying cried.

"It's fine, you were having a hard time adjust, anyway."

"Miss Li Zi, a good rest will do you good. Just take the medicine and you'll be fine." The doctor explained after checking on her.

Wang Ji then escorted the doctor, leaving Liying to watch over her.

"Liying can you go downstairs and ask the kitchen staff to prepare this for me…" She handing her a recipe for a soup.

As soon as Liying left, she grabs her phone and saw the amount of missed calls and messages. It surprises her to see the amount of missed calls and messages were mostly from Jackie.

[Jackie: Babes, Jay isn't in America. I heard his attending a fashion show in France with his mother.]

[Jackie: Babes, is everything alright? Why aren't you answering my calls?]

[Jackie: Elizabeth Knightley, what's going on? I've been calling you why aren't you answering me.]

[Jackie: Babes, what happened? I heard from your grandmother you disappeared, what happened?]

[Jackie: Babes, don't tell me you saw him? Please call me.]

[Granny: Darling, what happened? Where did you go last night?]

[Bro Wang: Li Zi where are you?]

[Liying: Sis Li Zi, where did you go? Manager Wang has been looking for you?]

She continued to read the message she received from everyone. She then replied to them, at the same time call someone...

"Granny, I'm fine. I didn't feel well last night I headed home."

"I heard you caught a cold are you fine?"

"I'll be fine, the doctor has given me a prescription."

"Should I visit you?"

"No need, I'll be fine. Anyway, I need to call Mom as well," She said as she ended the call.

After ending the call with her grandmother, she then called her mother and informed her of what happened. She ensured her she was fine and they need not worry for her. As soon as the call ended, her phone received a message.

[Jackie: I was right? I know you won't be asking about him if you didn't see him. What happened? Did he say anything to you? Lizzy, are you alright? Do you want me to accompany you?]

[Lizzy: Jackie, I'm fine. Focus on your studies and work. I'll visit you soon.]

[Jackie: Babes, please be well. I miss you…]

She put away her phone at the same time Liying came back with the soup she asked from the kitchen staff to prepare for her. Wang Ji also returned with the medicine the doctor prescribed for her.

"Li Zi, once you feel better we can travel back." Wang Ji said.

"Bro Wang, sorry if we are delayed."

"It's fine," He smiled patting her on the head, "Just get some rest."

After she ate her soup and drunk her medicine. Her phone suddenly rang, "Hello?"

"How are you feeling?" A familiar voice echoed.

"Shen, I'm fine…" She replied as her face suddenly turned all red remember the flowers he gave her last night.

"Open the door."

"What?"

Elizabeth got up from her bed and went to the front door, as she opened it, she was surprised to see the man standing in front of her.

"How are you alright?" Yun Shen asked noticing the girl looking all flushed and red.

"Shen, what are you doing here?" She asked confused by his sudden visit.

"I heard from Xiaotong that you're not well." He explained, "Can I come in?"

"Of course," She said as she escorted him inside her room. She then slowly closed the door and pinched her self if whether she was dreaming or not.

"What are you doing?" Yun Shen said seeing the girl pinching her arms.

"I was just checking." She awkwardly chuckled.

"When will you be heading back?"

"Tomorrow morning if I'm better."

"I see."

He then walked closer to the girl as he placed his hand on her forehead, "You seem to be burning up, go lay down I get you a fresh towel."

"No need Shen, I'm fine," She said as she stops him from doing something unnecessary..

"I'm your boss."

Elizabeth did not expect Yun Shen would use his authority in order for her to listen, she lay in bed like an obedient puppy. She was annoyed and wish to fight but since last time he declared she wasn't her boss but now he's saying he is. Whilst Yun Shen continued to wipe the sweat on her face.

"Close your eyes."

"But…" She did not finish what she wants to say and just closed them. As she forced herself to sleep, she felt a soothing melody echoing in the room that she did not realize she drifted off to sleep.

"Sleep well."

Whilst Yun Shen watched the girl drift off to sleep. He wonders what could have caused her to fall ill all of a sudden.

As time passed by, he notices the girl was frowning in her sleep and tears were rolling down her face. His heart ached seeing the girl so broken. He wonders; who could she be dreaming of, that's causing her to be in such pain?
