She looked at the man who looks very much interested in hearing her,so she continued.
"I saw my mother, covered in blood and running towards me with a knife in her hands...."she shivered at the memory, she bit her lips to stop the tears threatening to fall.
"I couldn't run because i was so scared,i tried to move but my feet stood rooted to the ground. I finally ran but i was not as fast as her, she caught up with me and pounced on me saying some sort of words i couldn't hear, traumatized,i fainted. When i woke up,i was on the hospital bed, my step mom and sister admitted that there were the one who did it and claimed it to be an harmless prank. The doctor checked me and said that the incident cause a shock to my brain that led me to be traumatized and made me have this childish phobia. They toyed with me, my feelings and my mom and i hate them for that"the tears she was holding in finally came falling.
She felt herself inside somebody warm embrace, she looked up and saw Zhang Linfen holding her, she rested on his chest soaking his robe in the process.
His heart warmed as he strokes her hair from the top to the end feeling the silk texture of her hair, when he felt that she's no longer shivering. He looked at her face and removed the strands of hair blocking her face away from viewing her face.
Li Xie disentangled herself from him, stood up"am sorry for making you uncomfortable. I'll leave now."she walked away leaving him in daze,he looked at his empty hand and felt his hands was no longer warm, he clenched his fists tightly,his fingernails penetrating his palm as blood drip down but he didn't care.
Meanwhile,
Li Xie was thinking about all that had happened in Zhang Linfen's room, she told him her most deepest secret that no one knew not even her ex best friend, her face twisted in anger thinking about that horrible night she had promised herself never to remember.
She staggered as she held her chest and touched the wall to steady herself,her eyes got blurry, when her legs got wobbly, she gave up and collapse on the floor when she felt everywhere turn black.
---------
In an hospital.
Li Xie opened her eyes slowly and adjusted to the brightness of the room, she looked around and noticed that she wasn't in her room, she was suddenly scared, she was about to get down when she heard him.
"Lie back down and don't go anywhere"he slowly walked towards her, she unconsciously lie back down on her back.
There was someone with him,he was wearing a white coat and that's when she realized that she was in the hospital, the man came near her.
"How are you feeling, any migraine or body pains"she shook her head.
"Well,i do feel a slight pain in my head".
"Just relax, don't stress yourself at all"Zhang Linfen came forward wearing a business suit which shows that he was on his way to the office.
"Doctor, what's wrong with her?"he said nonchalantly but inside him was a nervous man, he was really scared to death when he saw her on the floor lifeless. Without thinking,he carried her and took her to the hospital.
"It's looks like she just triggered a memory in her brain that made her traumatized. It was like a memory she locked out from her head but she forced it open and it brought back a painful side of the memory. I advise that you keep a close eye on her,this truama has some side effects like lack of focus, insomnia,changes of emotions and some others you'll get to know of but they are not permanent"Zhang Linfen finally breath out the breath he was holding in.
"She can leave but before then, you'll have to sign some papers and she'll get some checkup"Zhang Linfen followed the doctor and sign all the papers, rushing back to the room to meet Li Xie.
"How are you feeling now?"he asked with a soft voice angering her.
"You're so annoying. Why are you trying to toy with my emotions?, telling me something and doing the opposite. Why did you marry me when you have a better girlfriend or should i call her your wife"tears was already coming out of her eyes. Zhang Linfen was startled by her change of emotions and didn't understand what was going on.
Li Xie looked at his face and saw how confused he was and it hurt her deeply"never mind, the doctor had already said that i would have a change in emotions like now. Am sorry"she looked away from him and looked at the ceiling with a pained face.
--------
In the underworld.
A woman who had everything that happened to Li Xie was fuming in anger. They actually did that to her, she was so angry that there was literally smokes coming out from her nostrils and ears , no one dared to come near her.

Li Xie has already been discharged and taken home by Zhang Linfen, she didn't say a word throughout the entire drive. She only looked at the scenery outside, Zhang Linfen thought that it was only part of the truama and didn't speak either.
-------
The next morning, Li Xie was feeling good and ready to go to work, she was all ready as she heard downstairs and spotted Zhang Linfen waiting by the door patiently.
She planned to pass him but he carried her in a bridal style making her blush in anger and embarrassment.
"Please let me down"he took her to his car and put her inside, entering the driver seat and driving to the office.
"You know i could report you for kidnapping"she said with much seriousness making him chuckle.
"Why would they take me when am just being a responsible husband by taking my wife to work"he focused back on the road.
"And are you sure that you're ready to go to work,you could get a leave"he talked again as she leaned on the back rest.
"I don't need your charity"she said and looked outside not paying attention to him again as they rode with utmost silence.
