Trial Of Love Chapter 385 - Sweetness

Elizabeth has just finished having her late breakfast. Finally, her hunger has been solved yet again she is left with another problem in her hand. As she finished the last few bites of her food, she notices the woman continued glazing at her with such interest. It made it hard for her to digest her food in but she had no choice and let it be.

"Thank you for the meal." She finally spoke after cleaning her plate.

The woman got up and went closer to her and took the plate away, "Your welcome."

As Elizabeth was cleaning herself up, as she was about to make a stand, the woman returns with a plate of dessert for her.

"Dessert." She said with a smile on her face.

"I shouldn't…" Elizabeth responded awkwardly.

"Don't be."

Seeing the woman won't take no for an answer. She had no choice but to sit back down and finish the dessert the woman prepared for her.

The woman was pleased seeing Elizabeth enjoy the desserts she has prepared for her. "Like it?"

"Hmm, it's amazing. I've never tasted such delicious fruit tart before. The fruits are just right and not too sweet. The cream is so smooth making everything so perfect. Just what everyone needs, a little sweetness in their life."

"I'm glad you like it." The woman had this strange yet familiar smile on her face. "I used to know someone who loves my fruit tart so much."

"Hmm…"

"And, the way you explain its taste was almost exactly as how she explained."

"Really?" Elizabeth was dumbfounded as to why the woman was looking at her with such familiarity.

"Hmm, however… G.o.d knows where she is now. I bet she's happily traveling the heavens by now."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Elizabeth stops what she was doing and decided to listen to the woman grieving story. "What happened to your friend?"

"Hha…"

Elizabeth was confused as to why the woman was suddenly laughing when the conversation was so serious.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The woman continues to laugh as she wipes the tears on her face and tried to regain herself back to normal. "I'm sorry; I just didn't expect you'll cla.s.s me and that girl to be friends."

"Oh?"

"Hha, don't worry, I mean, one can consider her as a friend at first but as time went by soon friends.h.i.+p turned to mortal enemies. I mean, if we were back in the old times, she was from the west and I was from the east."

Elizabeth didn't need a clear explanation for she knew what it meant. It just means the girl belongs to another group in the underground society which does not coexist with their group as well. Meaning, before knowing who they were, they sought each other as friends but once they've known each other true ident.i.ty friends.h.i.+p can easily be broken.

"So, she pa.s.sed away?"

"Well, who knows if she did or didn't. I mean, that girl was one h.e.l.l of a mystery. I mean she came out of nowhere and disappear all of a sudden. Just like a ghost."

"Ghost?"

"Yeah, I mean… I've tried looking for her yet found nothing. As if she never existed and was just a fragment of my imagination. But like I said, who knows, maybe I'm just going crazy."

Elizabeth stayed quiet and kept her thoughts to herself. The woman's story caught her attention as she wonders who this mysterious ghost friend could be. Her a.n.a.lysis is that the woman is suffering from a psychological problem from all the heavy work or maybe somehow it was true yet like what happened to her. The memory of the girl became faint and was removed.

"Are you alright?" The woman notices how serious Elizabeth looked whilst in deep thought.

"I'm fine…" She responded and went on finis.h.i.+ng the fruit tart.

The woman smiled seeing how much Elizabeth enjoyed the fruit tart.

After Elizabeth had her breakfast, the woman insists that she stayed and rest before going back on her journey.

"Thank you for everything, but I really must go. I've troubled you already." Elizabeth struggled her way out as the woman continues to push her to rest on the bed.

"Just take a nap, once you feel refreshed then you may leave."

The woman became even more focusedful as she pinned Elizabeth down on the bed, suggesting that the more she resisted the more focusedful she'll be.

"Fine, thank you."

The woman left the room leaving Elizabeth to rest. As she peek on the door and notice Elizabeth resting, it brought such a smile on her face for a moment as it soon faded away.

She then headed back downstairs as she went inside her office. Not long when Stef steps inside with a concerned look on his face.

"Why are you helping her?" Stef directly and boldly asked.

"It's none of your concern." The woman responded in such a cold tone.

"It's her, she the girl isn't she?"

"What are you talking about?" The woman responded mockingly.

"Fine, then I'll kill her if she means nothing to you."

"Do so."

Stef was baffled with the situation. He didn't expect the woman would show no care at all.

"Then, let me tell you that Jo plans to kill her."

No matter how much Stef threatened the life of Elizabeth, the woman showed no care at all.

"Very well, I'll just tell her who you really are then, Megan."

Megan was fl.u.s.tered and got up from her seat; she became all agitated of the thought Elizabeth will find out who she really is.

"So, she really is the girl."

"Stef, what are you planning to do?" Megan frowned frustrated with what Stef was about to do.

"Well, as I remember… Quite a few groups are looking for her. But, somehow, why does she look like someone I've seen on TV as well. I mean, that person is supposed to be dead and the person standing in front of us as well is supposed to be dead too. Could it be she really is immortal? I mean, to escape death so many times."

"Stef, leave her be. She does not know who I am nor does she know who we are?"

"True, but do you know how much her head would cost. Do you know who is searching for her?"

"I know…"

"That right, the girl you've been looking for all this time and yet you ended up with nothing turned out to be the daughter of the Knightley family which explains why you found nothing on her."

"Shut up!"

"Hha, who would have thought. That the girl who you were so jealous with back then for she was always protected by the brat turned out to be a princess… Who two are really from different cla.s.s, hha! You will never stand next to her…"

"Shut up!"

Megan lost her temper and got her gun out and pointed at Stef who was not fl.u.s.tered at all. What he did surprise Megan more… Stef took a few steps closer to her making the gun distance in killing him much closer.

"So you would kill your own brother for the girl who kills your own family. She was the reason why the system broke back then, yet here you are allowing her to live. Have you lost your mind?"

Megan's hands became all shaky. It's true, back then because of Elizabeth the underground system was ruined thanks to her. She was able to attack any clan or group without any punishment for she was being protected by a power family. She was able to take what she wants and acted like a child most of the time. She killed so much yet showed no mercy to anyone. It's always been a mystery to everyone as to why she was allowed to do such cruel things.

"Megan, this is our chance. This is our chance to take revenge on our brothers who suffered back then. Why are you letting her live?"

"Will killing her bring you peace?" Megan asked with such serious expression as she places her gun down.

"Yes!"

"Even though she has no memory of the past?"

"What?"

"I think she is the same person, yet, somehow her memory has been changed."

"What do you mean?"

"If I recall, she was under the care of the Professor. Everyone knows what type of doctor the Professor was."

"So, you are saying… Back then, they altered her memory which is why she was able to do all those cruel things and now they removed her memory of such events. But isn't she the daughter of the Knightley family. I've done a complete check on this and the so-called actress Li Zi has vanished along with the young master of the Yun family."

"Hmm, I don't know why, but she is not the girl in the past and you aren't allowed to do anything to her. Understand?!"

"What?!"

"I am the commander her and my order is that she is to live!"

"Have you lost your mind?!"

"She was a friend of mine back then and I have a feeling that the Professor is the reason as to why she did all those things back then."

"Bull****!!! Have you gone soft just because she ate your disgusting fruit tart! F***! Just you wait; I'll report you to the heads for acting on your own without their permission."

"Then, before you can do that I'll better shut your mouth."

Before Stef could even make a move, Megan grabs her gun without any warning and pointed it directly at Stef's mouth. As she pulled the trigger, causing a loud sound which made a great whole through Stef's mouth bring him to his end.

Megan sighs seeing what she had done and it was not long when Jo steps in as well.

"Was that necessary?" Jo asked seeing Stef dead body lying on the ground as his blood spread all over the floor.

"Between the two of you, he was always the hardest to persuade." Megan sighs heavily once again as she collapses on her seat.

"So, you plan to keep her alive?"

"You heard me."

"I did, but what are you planning to do with the people following her. She is the daughter of the Knightley family."

"It seems she running away from them."

"Hmm…"

"Could it be possible her memory was indeed altered which is why she is running away from her family in order to recover them. Do you think she's searching for the Professor?"

"That is possible, he is one of the few people who can remove and alter one's memory. But, you do know that no one has seen him for years as well. What's worse, we can't get involved with the Knightley family. They control the world…"

"Then, I'll just have to challenge the king himself."

"Hha, you really care for her. Why?"

"It was her who first made me taste such sweetness in my life. Back then, she told me: the world is too cruel some sweets will lighten your world."
