"What do you mean by 'there's nothing wrong with you?'. How can you say there's nothing wrong with you when you fainted from just seeing a guest? By the way, who was that person that caused you to be in this state?" The Old Lady Chen asked with a frown.
Lady Chen had her mouth shut, refusing to say anything.
Seeing that the doctor and the nurse were still there, the Old Master Chen calmed down a little because he was also interested in knowing the identity of the almighty guest that caused all these messes.
As if the doctor got the sign, he gave the prescription to a servant and opened his mouth to caution Lady Chen before leaving, but Lady Chen knew what he wanted to do, so she caught him off again, saying that she would follow his prescription and diet plan.
She kept cutting his words off because she didn't want anyone to know to find out about her illness and start worrying about her.
Haven gotten an avowal from her, the doctor felt reassured and left with the nurse.
Old Master Chen relaxed slightly as Old Lady Chen asked the servants to bring in Lady Chen's breakfast into her room, but Lady Chen rejected, saying she would go down for her breakfast.
Old Master Chen asked her, "Do you have the strength to walk?"
Lady Chen smiled as she got up from the bed saying, "Father, I am not that weak, and I can walk down the stairs, let's go".
So the Old couple and Lady Chen left for the dining table.
At the dining table, Chen Lihua's uncles sat down with their families as they waited for the Old couple and Lady Chen to come. Her mother's elder sister left with her family after the wedding yesterday to a small property they had in City B as it was not far from the wedding venue.
Seeing Lady Chen's dull glimpse, her brother asked her with a slight frown on his face, oblivious to what had transpired that morning, "Ju Ju, why do your face look so dull?"
"I think the wedding celebration took a toll on me. But you don't have to worry, about me, the doctor came to see me and said that I was just tired and left after prescribing some drugs for me". Lady Chen replied as she sat on the head seat.
"Ok, but you need to watch out for your health. Do not allow anything to weigh you down", her brother advised.
Lady Chen nodded as the servants began to serve the dishes.
Then Lady Chen's eldest brother-in-law looked around the dining room. Not seeing his sister (Aunt Lin), he asked of her.
Lady Chen also looked up with a frown and wondered where her troublesome sister-in-law went.
Old Master Chen said without trying to hide the anger in his gaze, "Don't mention anything about her. But if you must know about her, she left with her daughter early this morning", and refused to divulge any more information concerning that matter.
After breakfast, Lady Chen's brother left with his family to City A after saying their farewell.
Lady Chen's brother-in-laws left with their families later that same morning.
As for the Old couple, they didn't leave because Lady Chen asked them to stay till after Chen Lihua's white wedding was over.
Even without her telling them to stay, they wouldn't even leave till they found out about that mysterious guest.
After seeing her brother and brothers-in-law off with their families, Lady Chen made a call to assistant to settle the meeting time.
The old couple was like flies hovering around Lady Chen. They kept monitoring her to see when she was less busy so they could talk to her.
Now that Lady Chen was sitting on the couch in the living room lost in thought, they met her there.
They sat down close to her and called her.
"Ju Ju, since today you've been thinking about something we don't know about. Is everything ok?" Old Lady Chen asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Mother, am ok", Lady Chen answered.
"Ju Ju, you are our daughter-in-law, and anything that bothers you disturbs us. Can you tell us the person that startled you into painting?" Old Master Chen said, going straight to the point.
"Father, to tell you the truth, I can't answer your question. But since you really want to know, I think you should ask Chen Lin since she's the root of this problem". Lady Chen replied.
"We asked her, but she refused to answer us, telling us to find out from you", Old Master Chen replied with a frown.
"Father, if you really want to who that person is, then Chen Lin is the right person to ask because that person was her guest. She permitted him into this house", Lady Chen responded with a heavy tone.
The old couple could sense that she was getting pissed off with their question, so they stopped questioning her.
But the old man insisted on raising another question.
"Do we know the identity of that person?" The Old Master Chen asked, pointing at himself and his wife.
Lady Chen looked at them and sighed after a while before nodding her head slowly. Then she stood up from the couch and went away, saying that she had a headache, and so needed to rest.
The old couple just nodded as they became deep in thought. Since Lady Chen had given them a clue, they had to exhaust their old brain to think of who that person may be.
When Lady Chen went into her room, she locked the door behind her and sat on the couch in her room.
It didn't even take up to a minute before tears started to gush down her eyes. Then it was followed by little sobs.
When her sobs got louder, she covered her mouth with her hand as she slipped off from the couch to the rugged floor.
'So he's still alive? How come he didn't contact me after all these years?' Lady Chen thought to herself.
"Chen K, how could you do this to me? Do you how much I've suffered all these years thinking you were gone? Do you know what I've passed through in all these years since you were gone?"
As she asked these questions out loud, Lady Chen couldn't control her emotions anymore as more tears flowed down her eyes and snot from the nose.
Her face was totally in a mess. The one and only Lady Chen who was always vibrant and always had a smile on her face now had a different demeanor.
