Trial Of Love Chapter 284 - See It For Yourself

That evening, Elizabeth dragged everyone to the airport without any explanation. Since w.a.n.g Ji knows about the girl's true ident.i.ty, he was not surprised they were able to get themselves a private jet within the minute she said; "let's go home."

w.a.n.g Ji didn't bother explaining to Liying and Jiang Ru for they witnessed what happened earlier between her and President Stanford. They presume the two must have a past relations.h.i.+p with each other and right now the girl is not ready to face it. 

When they arrived in China, the first light of the day hasn't shown itself. 

Elizabeth continued to ignore them and got herself a taxi.

"Manager w.a.n.g will Sis Li Zi be fine?" Liying worriedly asked, seeing the girl looking so gloomy since they left.

"Don't worry. I'll send you home." w.a.n.g Ji sighed as he informed Jiang Ru to head home as well. 

Meanwhile, Elizabeth just arrived home. When she walked inside her apartment, she checks the time on the wall. 

4:13

"What should I do now?" She asked herself looking all worn out and lifeless as if her soul was slowly living her body. 

The girl dropped all her stuff by the entrance as she walked out to the balcony and gazed at the dark sky. Despite the cold wind that early morning, she couldn't feel a thing for her inside was frozen ice. Her senses have completely shut down and her soul was no longer intake with her body. 

It surprised the girl when a small ray of light blinded her gaze. She looked emotionless at the morning sun as it rose behind the tall skysc.r.a.pers. 

"So bright."

The girl used her hand to cover the bright light s.h.i.+ning on her face, no matter what she does, she could not stop it from being so bright. Eventually, she gave up as she stared at the sun rising, reflected behind the tall buildings. 

When she went back inside her house, she stared at the wall clock again. 

6:28

"Oh- what to do?" She helplessly asked herself as if her mind has given up as well. 

The girl continued to wander around her house time after time checking the time on the wall. But for some reason, she felt like time was moving too slow. 

8:18

9:50

10:25

As she was staring at the clock with heavy sleepy eyes, she felt her stomach pain all of a sudden. 

"Ah-should I eat?"

She went to the kitchen and stared at the fridge. They were just too much food to choose from; she ponders for a minute on what she should eat. In the end, she gave up and didn't bother to eat as she ignored the hunger she felt and continued to wander around her apartment like a lost ghost. 

12: 02

As time pa.s.sed by, a whole day pa.s.sed by as she continued to walk like a zombie in her apartment. She didn't even bother to answer her phone that's been ringing endlessly that in the end, it died since it ran out of battery. 

The girl walked out to the balcony again for some fresh air. She notices the sky was turning gray; she wonders if whether or not it will rain? She stayed outside patiently waiting for the outcome but gave up when not a single drop of water came from the sky. 

Consequently, she back inside again and once again stared at the wall clock.

5:39

As she continued about her way, waiting for her day to come to an end, the sound of her doorbell rung. It startled her as she dragged herself to the front door and opened it without even asking who it was. 

"Lizzy."

"Darling."

"Lili."

"Baby."

Before she could even open her mouth, tears were rolling down her face already. She tried her best to force a smile, but she couldn't. 

Since the girl came back all of a sudden without even informing them. They received news that she borrowed one of their friend's private jet in the middle of the night. They've been calling her yet she didn't answer any of their calls. 

Elizabeth put on a smile in front of everyone despite the tears rolling down her face, seeing her father looking at her emotionlessly she felt her heart sank, "Why are you all here?"

Lady Zhao pushed herself inside the girl's house and embrace her. "Baby, it's fine. It's alright to cry, you need not force yourself."

"Mommy, it hurts…"

"Baby, it's fine… We're here for you."

"Mommy it hurts..." Elizabeth kept repeating the same words. 

Before Lady Zhao could comfort the girl, she suddenly screamed in pain and pushed her mother aside. 

"Ah!"

Everyone barged in as they saw the girl collapse on the ground in agony. She was grabbing her abdominal and continued to scream in pain. 

"Ah!!!"

Zhao Xinyi: "Lili, what's wrong?"

Liu Yifie: "Xinyi, what should we do? Lizzy…"

Elder Chief  Zhao: "Darling, what's happening to you?"

General Zhao: "Weiwei, what's wrong with Lili?"

They were all put into order when they saw the man pushed his way through and carried his daughter out of the house without any words. The man quickly carried the girl out of the apartment as they all run out of the building and inside the car.

Xian Medical Inst.i.tute & Hospital

The girl has finally calmed down and rested. The Zhao and Lord Knightley gather together as the doctor explain the girl's current situation.

"She should be fine. Her stomach was just upset because it was empty. Has she not been eating lately?" Doctor Lu asked.

"You mean she hasn't been eating?" Elder Chief Zhao asked surprised to know his granddaughter starved herself. 

"For how long?" 

"Maybe for 24 hours."

Lady Zhao did not prolong it and called someone... 

It didn't take long for the person she called to arrive panting and covered in sweat. 

"Lady Zhao, where's Li Zi?"

"Mr. w.a.n.g tell me what happened yesterday?" Lady Zhao asked looking all pale.

"She met someone yesterday, I presume you know him…" 

w.a.n.g Ji did not need to mention the person's name. Everyone expression darken as they realized why their precious princess is now in such a state. 

"Thank you, Mr. w.a.n.g."

"Lady Zhao, I know it's not my place, but…" w.a.n.g Ji hesitates to speak because of the surrounding people, "Yesterday, the way she looked at him…"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xinyi asked.

"They were asked to do a photoshoot together and…" w.a.n.g Ji thought for a moment in how to explain what he saw yesterday. "Young Master, it's best if you see it for yourself. I'll contact the photographer if he can send us the photo."

"No need, give me his name." Lady Zhao firmly said.  

Moments later, they received the full alb.u.m of the photoshoot yesterday. They skip to all the beautiful pictures of the girl and investigate the photos she did with the man. 

It surprised all of them to see how the girl was expressing herself towards the man. 

"Child, what should we do?" Elder Chief Zhao worriedly asked his daughter stunned from what he was seeing.

"Father, I-" Lady Zhao was dumbfounded of everything. Could her daughter really still have some attachment towards the man? At the same time, the way the boy looked at her daughter with pure and sincere emotions in his eyes surprised her. She turned to her husband who seems to have expected it already and wish to vent out her anger for not telling her but couldn't.

"Weiwei, I'm sorry…" Elder Chief Zhao embraced his daughter for he knew at this moment she is completely lost as well. 

Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes, she overheard people's voices outside. She removed the IV drip and slowly make her way out of the room. 

"Uncle, is it alright if I go home?" She asked, looking at the doctor shocked to see her standing in front of them. 

"But Lizzy, ar…" Seeing the lifelessness in the girl's eyes made him turn mute, he sighed and said, "Fine, as long as you eat before you leave."

Everyone looked at the man who just allowed the girl to leave without even asking for their opinion. 

"Grandpa, Father, Mother, Uncle, Brother, Sis Yi, I'm sorry to have worried you. Uncle Lu said I'm fine… Bro w.a.n.g, can you please drive me home?" 

w.a.n.g Ji nodded his head as he followed the girl and greeted everyone. 

"Weiwei…"

"It's fine, she'll always come back to us. Let her be, she old enough to make her own decision in life." Lady Zhao answered observing her husband who hasn't spoken a single word since they arrive and started heading his way as well without any warning.
