Sara kept pacing back and forth. She didn"t understand what was going on, what was up with Changyu. She would have followed them to the hospital but her father and Aunt had stopped her. Why?

Now, she was here with a lot of unanswered questions for herself and for Joreen who was also as curious as her.

"Jo. You mentioned that Aunt and Dad were talking about a "devil" the other day right?" 

Joreen nodded rigorously in answer to her question.

Sara had a lot running through her mind. With her aunt"s reaction earlier, it meant her aunt didn"t like her. What if she was the "devil" they had both talked about? 

"Jo. Stay here. I"m going out for a bit" Sara told her before leaving the place. She knew the right place to go to right now. It was Delight. She had to meet with Mr Chu. She would probably find out a thing or two from him.

Jianjun looked at Changyu"s pale sleeping face on the bed. Memories from the past rushed in. Memories he hadn"t wanted to open the door for.

It was the very first time he was seeing her in over 25years. Who would have thought the first time he would meet her again, she would be in this state? 

A lot had obviously changed about her. Not just her matured look and hair that was gradually turning hair, she just looked so different. And he couldn"t place it exactly.

He looked at her little fingers that were rid of any jewelries. He couldn"t help but wonder why she never got married. Even at 45, she was still absolutely stunning. She was wealthy also. She could have easily married anyone she wished but she was still single. What exactly was the reason?

He shook the thought out of his head. It was none of his business. He shouldn"t be bothered about this evil woman. He didn"t want to have anything to do with her anymore.

He stood up. Took a long look at her before he head for the door. 

"Brother Jun" He heard her weak voice call, causing him to stop dead on his track with his back to her.

He slowly turned to look at her. She struggled to sit up and he used every ounce of self control to stop himself from helping her up.

He reminded himself that this woman didn"t deserve his pity. He had done really well by bringing her to a good hospital like this so, she shouldn"t expect anything more from him. No matter what it was. 

"Brother Jun... I guess I must have stressed you. I am sorry" 

In his eyes, she materialised into her younger self that moment. But soon, he returned back to reality.

"What exactly are you apologizing for?" He asked indifferently.

Was she apologizing for what she did years ago, or what her parents did, or the fact that she suddenly showed up in front of his house and collapsed there?

He didn"t wait for her to say anything else. He turned around and left the room with these final words "I hope we never cross paths anymore"

"I am glad you didn"t fall for her scheme again" Cixi said immediately he came out of the room"s door. She had been patiently waiting for him to come out and if he had even considered in the slightest bit to have a conversation with her, she was going to barge in there. Who was she to cause them trouble and collapse in front of their home while looking like a beggar? Cixi thought she should be glad she haf even helped because she had suddenly gone into "Doctor mode" the moment she collapsed. Now that she was awake, there was no point in remaining there. Her "lovely" family would obviously take care of the rest. 

Jianjun didn"t say anything to his sister. He just continued walking out. He didn"t want to think about anything else. He didn"t want to hear anything else. He couldn"t believe he was even worried about her. He must have gone crazy!

Changyu looked at the door with lifeless eyes. What happened to her life? To her plans? 

She had planned to live the rest of her life with Jianjun. He was the only man she ever loved.

One time when the crazy thought popped into her head to run away with him, she had asked him to travel with her but he had flatly declined. 

He had a family. He had an obligation. He didn"t want to throw it all away because he wanted to run from her parents who objected to their relations.h.i.+p. 

It had p.i.s.sed her off. She threw a tantrum childishly and accused him of not loving her. Things became even worse when she saw him hugging Helene intimately one evening. 

That period, had been the worse in her entire life. She could not handle the heartbreak. She had been having emotional issues and that worsened it to the point where she was diagnosed with mental illness. 

Her parents were also busy frustrating her. They locked her up and forbade her from going anywhere. She was put on surveillance for 24hours. She gradually began to lose control and her sanity.

She couldn"t believe that she was in there while Jianjun was busy with Helene. Her family had even showed her pictures of the both of them smiling happily together while urging her to completely forget about him. 

She was in there. Locked because of him. Because she loved him! But he didn"t care about her. Did he even love her at all? What if he was playing with her because she offered herself to him cheaply? 

She threw and destroyed everything in the room to the point where nothing tangible was left. 

Once in a while, her parents came into the room to remind her how to act and behave when her in-laws came. She have having a tough time and all they cared about was the in-laws?

She pleaded with them to let her out at least. It was becoming very suffocating. She could no longer eat well or sleep well. Everything irritated her. Until the day she finally collapsed.

They had not even taken her to a hospital and had brought the medical team to her "prison" instead. And that was when they all learned that she was pregnant!

That was the greatest shock of her life and the greatest blow her family ever received. 

But somehow, she was happy. She knew her family would no longer push her to marry the contesting governor"s son. She also felt that Jianjun and the w.a.n.gs would be interested once she told them about it. Maybe her family might allow her marry Jianjun since she was carrying his child.

After having her maid smuggle in a system for her to send a mail to Jianjun, letting him know she was pregnant, she didn"t know what happened anymore. All she knew was that she received an e-mail after trying to check if he had left any for her. She had received a message of him telling her he didn"t want her and wasn"t interested in her at all. He told her he loved Helene and wanted to be with her instead and to get rid of the baby.

The shock she received was greater than the one she received when realised she was pregnant. 

He had never wanted her.

She smiled sadly. Why did she still feel sad even after so many years? 

She didn"t even know why she had gone to his place in the first place. She just found herself driving there.

Seeing him for the first time in so many years plus all the rush of emotions she had been feeling the past few hours had caused her to collapse.
