Tong Lin sat down beside my bed again,

"You do not need any sedative, you're already sedated.

"

You were the one who threatened me with sedatives earlier! What is your game? I looked at him wordlessly. Tong Lin smiled,

"You're very clever, like my aunt.

"

I still said nothing.

"I carried you when you were young, you were just a little baby. Later I heard that you died in the car accident that claimed my aunt and uncle. I was sad. When I saw someone searching for my aunt on the darknet, I couldn't believe it was you. It's wonderful that you're still alive!

" Tong Lin sighed with relief.

I looked at him and could sense that he didn't mean that in an emotional way. Therefore I kept my mouth zipped and my eyes glaring at him..

Tong Lin looked at me.

"Looks like you don't know what you're worth!

"

"So you captured me for the treasure my mother left for me?

" I asked.

Tong Lin shook his finger at me.

"No, no, no. I didn't capture you, I invited you here. I'm your cousin, see this as your own home. I'll treat you as good as my uncle treats you, what do you think?

"

I was angry beyond words at this shameless man.

"But you have to tell me everything you told little uncle.

" He said with a flawless smile.

He was indeed very similar to little uncle. While my little uncle could skirt the rules at times, he was always a gentleman; but this Tong Lin had a sinister unpredictability about him.

"What do you want to know?

" I asked.

"Everything,

" he said. Tsk, what a greedy man.

The nurse was done dressing my arm. This time the drip was attached to my right hand. I looked at the bandage on my left arm and the drip on my right. I said,

"Little uncle already knew everything about me, I didn't need to tell him anything so I have nothing to tell you either.

"

Tong Lin shrugged,

"I'm sure you can think of something. I don't mind keeping you here until I get the things I want.

" He stood up to stretch.

"I'm going to take a nap. You better not think about escaping, it's going to make life difficult for you.

" Then he turned away.

"Hey! Why don't you just tell me what it is that you want to know?

" I shouted at him.

Tong Lin waved without even turning back.

"Don't worry, think about it. If you think of anything, just tell me. After all, we have a lifetime to spend together.

" He walked out and the nurse followed him out obediently. I was left alone inside the room. I was confused, what was it that he wanted?

I laid back down and thought back to my 2 lifetimes. Where did the deviation start? The memories started to blur, except for the ones involving Jing Tian and my little uncle. I wonder if little uncle had awakened and if Jing Tian was fine. That last gaze I had was of him covered in blood.

I curled up and my heart bled from the ache. However, I was helpless. When I woke up again, the drip on my hand had been removed. The bandage had been changed as well. Tong Lin was not around, there was no one there. I sat up and got down from bed. I walked to the window to pull back the curtains.

The sun shot in and my eyes watered from being blinded. I quickly turned around. When I got used to the glare, I turned back again and saw the sea outside the window. The sea was rippling peacefully under the sun. I was startled. The sea made my legs wobble because I once used the sea to try to commit suicide.

I staggered 2 steps back and my hands pulled the curtains closed. I rushed to the door and pulled it open. There was a long corridor outside the door. One side was extremely dark while there was light on the other side. It was very much like my dream. I gritted my teeth and headed to the light.

Thankfully the corridor was not endlessly long. There was a corner at the end, the light came from a window. The corridor opened to a large lobby. The maids bustled about. When they saw me, they all stopped working and bowed at me,

"Young Miss!

" I looked at them in confusion, only then I realized why they were treating me this way.

I pointed at the front door.

"Can I go out?

"

A maid walked towards me.

"Miss, where do you wish to go? I shall accompany you.

"

"I want to go for a walk.

" I didn't mind her company. I knew Tong Lin wouldn't give me complete freedom anyway.
