Mrs. Wang, it's getting late, you should go home and rest. I'll take care of Yibo today. Nicole said sluggishly. Oh, Carmen Lee, just tell me to go already, that I irritate you. Nicole thought.
Carmen sighs and gives Nicole a deadly glare..and she behaves herself...
Nicole was rubbing Yibo's hair when her mum's call came in.
"Hi mum, I am at the hospital with Yibo," she said.
"You have to come home my dear, your father had an accident " Nicole's mum replied.
"Oh, my God, Nicole screams and drops her phone, her hands start trembling with the sudden news and she falls to the group wailing.
Carmen Lee picked up the phone from the floor and spoke with Nicole's mum. She told her Nicole's dad was involved in a car accident on his way back from work and they have to travel to Malibu today.
So sorry about your dad Nicole, go and take care of him. We will take care of Yibo here, your dad needs you too. Carmen Lee said.
Okay, Mrs. Wang, please take care of Yibo Nicole replied sadly. I will call you every day, she hugged Mrs. Wang, and left the hospital.
"Hello, where are you? I have been waiting in front of the hospital for the past 10 minutes,'' Nicole yelled on the phone.
"I'm driving to you now Nicole. Jack replied.
A few minutes later, Jack packed the car in front of Nicole, and Immediately after she entered, Jack zoomed off. Nicole turned to see a middle-aged woman in the back seat and gave her an evil smile.
"You did a very good job, woman. Here's your payment. I don't ever want to see your face again ... Nicole shrieked.
Thank... you... m-madam she stuttered and Jack dropped her off on their way...
How did it go with that bastard? Nicole asked.
"All done Nicole, he is in the booth half alive " the guys I hired did him dirty. Jack giggled.
Where should we go now, Nicole? Jack asked with a smirk.
Can you drive for 12 hours? Let's go to Shanghai and enjoy this credit card luxury, it's limitless, baby. Whoo hoo, Nicole rejoiced.
They were silent for a few minutes before Jack spoke "what do we do with him, Nicole? He asked.
Beat him and dump him somewhere to rot. She said, sounding irritated.
Carmen Lee was in the hospital talking to her private detective to look into what happened to Yibo, when her driver badged in, panting and looking all sweaty.
He rested his hand on his waist and chest making a 90-degree bow to catch his breath. Carmen Lee was startled and asked him to speak immediately.
Ma'am, I went to the address Mr. Zhan texted me and when I got there, his whole place was a mess, there was blood everywhere, all his house was scattered as if they were looking for something. He said in one go.
Carmen Lee was shocked to death as if she'd seen a ghost. "What" she screamed.
Don't worry Carmen Lee. I'll go there and find out what happened. The detective said and he left.
"A Few hours later the detective called Carmen Lee and told her there was a struggle, they might be thieves or kidnappers. One of the surveillance cameras across the street showed 6 guys going into his apartment with black masks on their faces, but they never came out, they used the back exit. But I'll run the video through a hacker I know to identify the guys".
Do whatever you can to make sure you find him, Carmen replied.
I would also like to see the surveillance camera from the studio, this can't be an ordinary coincidence. The detective said
Haikuan will send it to you this evening.
We are beginning to think alike, Carmen replied before ending the call.
It's been 2 weeks since they've been searching for Zhan, but the detective never stopped searching.
Carmen Lee was tending to Yibo when her husband came in looking all dirty and knackered.
She got scared and rushed to him.
Oh, dear, w- what happened to you, are you okay? Were you involved in an accident? Let's go and see the doctor.
Oh, honey, don't worry about me, I am fine. I finished my meeting earlier than expected, so I headed straight to the airport, 3 hours before my flight, and all of a sudden there was an announcement about extreme weather, and the flight will be delayed for 5-6 hours.
5-6 hours plus the extra 3 hours I'd wait at the airport. That's 8-9 hours altogether and it's 11-12 hours by the road.
That was when I called the company's driver and asked him to take me home by road. I carried my luggage and left. 5 hours into our road trip, the driver excused himself to use the loo, and I heard him scream like a little girl who had seen a ghost.
"I rushed to him, and before I could ask what happened" I saw a lifeless young man in the dirt hardly breathing. His whimpers were like a newborn baby, you would hardly hear. He was covered in dust, with dried blood stains from his head, and mouth, he was looking shabby with one swollen eye, and his feet had cut marks. I'd say he walked to where we found him, I immediately picked him up and cleaned his face, gave him water to drink... He slept till we got here. I dropped him off at the first hospital we saw when we entered the city.
Carmen Lee was stunned for a while and then praised her husband. He'd pray for you wherever he is. She said while patting his shoulder.
But she also scolded him for not taking their private jet.
Oh, I left it for you and Kuan in case there was an emergency at the hospital with Yibo. He whined.
I understand dear, I get worried about all of you. She said and pressed his hand in agreement.
"Let's get you home to rest immediately Yibo's minder comes in. She added.
Zhan's pov.
It has been 11 months since I was kidnapped and almost killed. My dad gave me mum's diary. I have been reading her diary and all the books in her mini library. I meditate every day trying to master the act of entering people's dreams without having physical contact with them. In one of her books, I read somewhere
"You can be drawn to people with the most pain".
I open my mind every day to meditate in my mum's secret room. Dad got paranoid and asked me to move back home. He installed cameras everywhere and won't let me go out alone, he was scared.
Oh, I haven't forgotten the people that kidnapped me, I can appear in their dreams and torture them to death but before that happened I need to master the act of appearing in people's dreams without physical contact.
3rd person pov.
It's been a year since they began searching for Xiao Zhan and finally, they found him. Kuan and Carmen Lee personally drove to his father's house, they didn't see him but saw his dad.
"Good evening Mr. Xiao," we are so sorry to have come to your house unannounced, but we have been searching for your son for a year now and we are glad he is fine. Mrs. Wang said.
And Kuan took the initiative to explain their situation to Mr. Xiao and they hope he understands.
"My son can't help you at the moment." Mr. Xiao said "
They felt a sudden sadness in their poor heart.
"Why can't we see him?" She said sadly with tears.
"My son is in seclusion meditating to master the act of being drawn to people with the most pain " Mr. Xiao explained"
I'm sure you heard he was kidnapped, he sees the people that kidnapped him but he feels emotional Torture for not being able to do anything to them, he was in his sleep one day and started struggling, I was quick to wake him up and he was upset why I didn't allow him to kill them, and I said to him.
"A few years ago before your mum died, she told me one of her sisters lost her mind when she killed someone in her dream and died a few weeks after the incident I was shocked "
But she said you can kill someone in your dream only when you perfect the act of seeing people's dreams without touching them.
Another thing about the meditation that I didn't tell him was that " he'd be able to see the person like an open book". He would see every event that happened in the person's life and the cause of their pains. Mr. Xiao added.
Please let me know what you think 🙏🏼🙏🏼
