Chapter 262 - Strange Voices

Yun Shen then escorted her to his car and opened the car door. As she seated inside the car whilst the man went to the other side. The girl was completely dumbfounded by her current situation. She didn't even understand why her body, just followed the man. 

'What the heck is going on? Why did I just follow Shen inside his car? I didn't even reason out with him at all. Wait...'

Elizabeth looked around then at Yun Shen when she noticed something new, "Shen, did you get a new car?"

"I crashed the other one."

"You what? Haha... really?" Elizabeth laughed thinking Yun Shen must be joking with her. "Didn't expect someone like you to be reckless."

Yun Shen was taken aback by the girl's curiosity. He only slightly nodded his head to answer her concern since he didn't know how to explain to her why he crashed his car.

He can't tell her he force crashed his car to Professor Petrovich's car on the day the man visit. He chased him down the road and crashed directly into Professor Petrovich's car and dragged the man out.

Professor Petrovich was so surprised that day to see another side of the man. In the end, he explained everything to the man in regards to Elizabeth's condition but didn't tell him some important details.

Professor Petrovich: "Like I said, it all started when she was 16 years... But to why she requested it back then I can't tell you. Her father requested most of her planted memories to remove the unnecessary memories. She has a dual personality disorder because of what happened in the past."

Yun Shen: "So you're telling me, she does remember me?"

Professor Petrovich: "For now, if things continue like this, we have no choice but to take her back. A man like you who can't even protect his own daughter. At the same time, can you really accept her for her? From what I've observed, the fact you can't even be bothered to face her once you found out, proved your not a man worthy of her."

That day, Yun Shen was left with the cold truth as Professor Petrovich left the man without further words. 

...

In Country Town

Elizabeth froze on the spot when she realizes the car has stopped and has arrived. She continued to ponder her situation until the door was opened by the man. 

"Are you alright?"

She looked up and saw the man's gentle expression towards her, "Y-yeah..." 

She then reached out her hand towards the man as she came out of the car. Unexpectedly, they saw the front door open and came a loud scream. 

"Auntie Li Zi."

Elizabeth turned towards the person that just called out her name, she went down as she lifted the girl up in her arms, "Little Yan, I miss you so much."

"Auntie, Little Yan misses you more."

"I miss you till the end of the universe."

"Universe?" Little Yan said with such confuses expression

"A-Ah... It's the place beyond the sky, and..." Elizabeth thought for a moment how she should explain to a little girl about the wonders of the universe. "Hmm... You'll learn it in school."

"Okay...." Little Yan smiled as she continued to embrace the girl.

The man walked ahead inside with a smirk on his face as he hides his happiness inside. But still, he couldn't help but be concerned about the girl's condition. The fact Professor Petrovich mention they are her biggest weakness at the moment.

The butler and servants were surprised to see their master showing off such warm expression on his face but with an odd look on his face as if he was troubled by something.

"Miss Li Zi."

"Sis Li Zi."

Elizabeth was surprised when all the servants came to greet her, "Everyone it's been a long time, how are you all?"

Everyone greeted her and welcomed her as if she was part of the family. 

She planned to just see Little Yan turned disastrous as the little girl won't go to sleep and started crying. 

"Your Auntie needs to go home." Yun Shen said, pinching the skin between his brow not expecting things would end up like this.

"Little Yan, Auntie promises to visit you again," Elizabeth said as she tries to coax the little girl down.

"No, Auntie please don't go..." 

Suddenly, Elizabeth felt a strange feeling inside as her chest started to tighten.

"You still have school tomorrow, you should go to bed." Yun Shen explained as he was about to reach his limit. 

"No, I don't want Auntie to leave me again."

"Again?" Elizabeth murmured to herself as her head started to ache, confusing her to why Little Yan's words were causing her such heartache. 

"No., Auntie don't go..."

"Ah!" Elizabeth screamed as she could no longer take the pain she was feeling.

"Auntie?"

"Li Zi... What's wrong?"

It dumbfounded Elizabeth hearing all Little Yan's words. As if the universe just collapses on her, and her mind started flashing empty memories but she can hear a lot of strange voices. "I don't know, I keep hearing strange voices in my head and something Little Yan's voice is one of them."

Yun Shen's expression blacken when he heard what the girl just said. This was Professor Petrovich's biggest concern... They were indeed her biggest trigger.

"Auntie sleeps here, stay with Little Yan."

"Ah, you want me to sleep here?" Elizabeth looked at the girl looking quite pale as the pain continued to hurt.

The little girl nodded her head as she locked her arms around the girl's neck. 

"Since Little Yan won't let you go, you can stay with her and rest her for the night." Yun Shen answered but was feeling uneasy about the situation. He felt so guilty of all the girl's pain right now.

Elizabeth's head continuously felt heavy, she doesn't know why she was feeling so much pain right now. Looking at Little Yan was driving her nuts as if she was on the eager of killing someone.

'Why do I wish to kill someone?'

"Then I'll stay here for the night Shen."

Elizabeth carried the little girl in her arms up to her room. The servants, then brought her spare clothes to get change with. It surprises her that they have brand new spare clothes for her already. 

"Little Yan, Auntie will just take a quick wash. Stay in bed and I'll be back."

When Elizabeth was left all alone in the bathroom, she collapsed on the ground as she pondered on what just happened earlier. "Why did Little Yan cry earlier sounded so familiar? As if I heard it in my dreams before."

She didn't ponder on things any longer and quickly freshen herself.

It surprises Elizabeth who just came out of the shower, to see the man fast asleep holding onto the little girl and a book. 

She quietly walked closer to the man's side as she removed the book from the man's hand. She then pulled the blanket over to cover the man and the little girl, then suddenly the little girl woke up. 

"Auntie, sleep..." the little girl half asleep expression made Elizabeth's heart melt. 

"Okay." 

Elizabeth then hops onto the other side of the bed, she thought for a moment that the three of them in the same bed right now looks like as if they are a family. 

She sighed as she got her phone out and message someone. 

[Jackie: Babes, what do you mean?]

[Liz: Jackie, I swear when Little Yan cried earlier as if I heard the same cry. I dunno, it's hard to explain.]

[Jackie: Maybe you just miss her and you're exhausted from work.]

[Liz: Hmm, maybe you're right. Anyway, good night and say hello to big brothers for me.]

Meanwhile, in the far east where the sun was high above. Jackie was having a late breakfast with her brothers when her expression turned gloom all of a sudden. 

"Jackie, what's wrong?" Her elder brother asked concerned to see their sister trouble look. 

"Elizabeth... She, she's remember everything... I fear, I fear she soon will remember everything." Jackie's expression was deadly concern about her best friend's condition right now. She fears things won't be easy for Yun Shen, she wonders if Yun Shen knows about her condition as well.

Both brothers's stayed silent and didn't know how to respond. It was a topic they hardly talked about... They only knew about it since one time they accidentally saw Elizabeth's other personality. But they never told Elizabeth and kept it to themselves until this day...
