Chapter 164 - A Familiar Stranger (Part - 2)
Then again, they were in a situation were they had no option but to take the help and get going.
As soon as Jully nodded after looking at the guard, she looked at the man inside the car and said, "We need lift. Our car is damaged".
Since they were in a different country, they had to speak in their language. Though she was a bit troubled in speaking it, she said it clearly.
The guy with the brown coat pointed at the back seat which simply meant that he would give them a lift but for some reason he looked familiar to Jully.
'Where have I seen him? I don't quite remember?'.
"So, where are you all going to? Tell me in advance," The guy asked.
They didn't introduced themselves at all and the guy, who was helping them didn't cared about the introduction at all.
"Bro, we need to go to the Palace. Please drop us where you find it convenient," the guard, who was sitting on the front seat said.
Jully looked at the mirror on the car front in which she could see the guy's face and as their gaze met, she averted it. And to get rid of the embarrassment, she looked at the guard, "Who called you here with Ray? Was it si.. Caixia?".
The guard looked back and glanced at Ray, who was staring him furiously, "No, it was because Ray went out of control, I have to leave with her to reach the Palace where her owner is".
She felt a bit sad. How nice it would be if the guard would had said that it was Caixia, who called Ray but now she felt disappointed.
"Ray, suddenly started to act weirdly yesterday and went ransack. Until we told her that we will take her to her owner, she didn't calmed down," the guard continued.
Jully patted Ray's head and sighed. Animal's Instinct are greater then those of humans. Jully remembered how Ray reacted when the real Aili got back stabbed but since she had no idea about why Ray was reacting weirdly, she kept her locked.
Even without witnessing the scene where Caixia got hurt, Ray could feel it and maybe it was her pure heart that told her, who her real master was. Skin, bones and face doesn't mattered to her and she found out, who her real master was just by a sniff.
Jully felt a little unfair about it. For her, it would had been nice if she could have known that her sister was always with her but rather even in front of her sister, she kept searching for her sister and now that she have come to know that Caixia is the one, she have been trying to find, she still was, too, late to save her.
In front of her eyes, Lee Shin shot Caixia down and she couldn't do anything but stare at Caixia falling down like a dead.
Ray was better then her! She frowned while having that thought and become teary but as soon as her eyes glanced at the mirror and her eyes met that man's eyes, she controlled herself and averted her gaze quickly.
"You seem very injured, did you had an accident?" the man asked.
Jully gulped and then nodded after thinking for a while. "So, how much time will it take to reach there?" asked Jully anxiously.
The man looked at her and then at front since it was necessary to drive, "Minimum one and half an hour. You can take a rest. I will tell you when we will reach there since our destination is same".
Jully tilted her head and parted her lips to say something but the guard while being amazed, said with a grin, "Really? We are going to the same place! How nice destiny does we have!".
Only he was the one, who was smiling while others had a cold and aloof face which made him feel awkward.
Jully was still remembering and remembering where she have seen that guy but no matter how much she stared him, she couldn't find anything in her memory.
Maybe I have seven him in the black market or somewhere related to it? She gave it a thought but then again she haven't met many people of the black market since her sister always rejected her from meeting anyone related to black market or even going there.
...
Dark clouds and hazy atmosphere. In the car, Jully and Ray sitting together. Everything looked a bit hazy then Jully's face and Ray's sniff.
Going and going.. the car continously went forward in midst of the jungle.
She was talking to someone. Everything was black and white but she could see that Jully was speaking with someone but what was she saying, she had no idea. As the car went by, suddenly it came across a cliff and a sudden light crossed the car when it fall down from the cliff and Boom! Everything went dark.
Caixia woke up while panting and being scared by that scary dream. She was sweating quite hard and her heart beat was what she could only hear.
That fear and anxiety and the tension built up after seeing that no one was in the room. She felt really afraid and scared.
Her eyes wondering around the room and mind remembering what she just saw. It could be because she heard Dr. Lu words and remembered it to heart when he told her that Jully fall of a cliff but no matter how much she comforted herself it was still hard to control her heart beat that was creating a mess around her chest and troubling her mind.historical
No, Caixia everything will be alright! She patted on her chest and then winced when she remembered that she was patting on no where else but on her wound.
Gosh! It hurts.. huhuhu.. no, I can't just sit around and do nothing. I must go and find Jully by myself or else it might be, too, late.
Her patting or anything else, nothing worked and she got up to step out of her room but paused when she gave it a serious thought that even if she wanted to go out, there was no way that Shiwei would let her be.
Her thoughts were frustrating her until she remembered what Shiwei said to her when she was a little drunk.
"I love you!" the reminisce memory came a little slower but turned her face totally red and that was not enough because when she remembered how she replied, she felt like being drowned in the pool of embarrassment.
What the heck I did and why? I don't remember drinking so why did I become so loose character as to kiss and confess my self. Noooo.. this can't be!
Her hands on her both cheeks and she waved like a paper while sitting on the ground in both distress and embarrassment.
I should have grabbed that chance to play hard but I ended up telling him and even kissing him, I should just die because of my foolishness. But why did I become drunk without drinking anything? She started to have many thoughts but she herself slapped her cheeks to wake herself from her foolish thoughts so that she could look for Jully.
..
"Is she still asleep?" Mr. Ben asked, standing outside of the room with Shiwei.
Shiwei nodded, "She is and it doesn't seem like she will wake up any time soon".
"Well, it's good for her health to have more rest and I fear that she would try to leave here quickly to search for Ms. Aili and Jully if she wakes up," Ben said with a polite smile but his eyes were showing the disappointment his lips were hiding.
Seeing him, Shiwei was once again reminded of Secretary Kim but he kept those thoughts aside.
"Don't worry, I will keep her locked properly," Shiwei said with a grin.
My God! He is going to keep me locked just like how he did before when I hurt my wrist and forehead. Caixia, who was leaning against the door with her ears on the door, frowned and then cried furiously inside her heart.
"But Mr. Ben, why do you look so sad yet forcing yourself to smile?" Shiwei asked and to hear it more clearly, Caixia pushed her ears more on the door as if it can be any more effective.
Ben polite smile started to fade and he looked down, "Mr. Wu gave me only one task and that was to look after his long lost niece but not only I failed to do that but also his one and only daughter got hurt so badly in front of me and I stood like a helpless person. My heart aches whenever I think about it".
By his words, he seemed to have a very respectful attitude toward Mr. Wu and not just respectful but also his loyalty was very higher then any secretary he have ever seen but then his way of showing his emotions again reminded him of Secretary Kim and he become dead sure that Secretary Kim and he might have a past relation.
But before he could ask that, Caixia opened the door from inside and ran toward the exit door of the east mansion to get out since climbing down through the window was quite hard.
She ran for quite a while and when she reached the door, she saw Jully, Ray with a guard and another man, who startled her.
"Loki!" her parted lips said before she gave him a furious reaction.
