”Do you think she would be okay?”

Lei Zhao glanced at Ying Sheng and nodded.

”Hmm…she will. It will take time but I’m sure everything will be okay. Don’t worry.”

Lei Zhao said as he planted a kiss on his wife’s forehead.

”Let’s sit in the garden.” Lei Zhao suggested.

Yan Mei nodded and followed Lei Zhao to the garden.

Once they reached the garden they found a bench and sat down.

”How is your therapy going?” Lei Zhao had spent most of his time with Ying Sheng so he couldn’t accompany his wife for her therapy sessions.

He was afraid seeing Ying Sheng cutting herself will trigger Yan Mei but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

It seems seeing Ying Sheng like this has inspired his wife to work harder to overcome her fears and depression. Lei Zhao knew his wife wanted to motivate Ying Sheng with her journey.

After all, if anyone can convince Ying Sheng to seek help it was his wife.

Yan Mei shook her head and avoided Lei Zhao’s gaze.

”I don’t know….it’s just hard to tell a stranger your deepest scars. I couldn’t tell her what happened seven years ago. I’m afraid if I open those memories it would consume me. I’m afraid Lei Zhao.”

Lei Zhao frowned when he heard his wife.

”What are you afraid of?” Lei Zhao asked softly.

”Everything. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to overcome my depression and fears. I’m afraid I would disappoint Ying Sheng one day. I feel like a hypocrite preaching something that I can’t do.

I’m afraid you would leave me….once you see the ugliest scars.

Lei Zhao flicked her forehead. “Silly….are you still doubting my love for you? I will never leave you, even death couldn’t stop me. You think something that happened in the past and you had no control over can stop me?”

Lei Zhao said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Yan Mei laid her head on his chest as Lei Zhao caressed her hair softly.

”We will get through this, don’t worry. As long as we have each other.” Lei Zhao muttered as he looked at the old couple walking in the garden.

The woman was in a white hospital gown and the man was holding her hand tightly as if he was afraid she would disappear any moment.

They gazed at each other for a while and the man said something making the woman laugh.

”Wifey….you see those old couples?” Yan Mei smiled and nodded.

”Hmm..”

”One day we are going to grow old together and we’ll tell our children and their children that it wasn’t easy but we made it.”

Lei Zhao said with a warm smile on his face. It’s like he was picturing himself old with Yan Mei.

Yan Mei looked up at Lei Zhao and smiled. She pressed a quick kiss on his lips and blushed.

”I love you, Lei Zhao.” Yan Mei said.

Lei Zhao beamed, “Of course you do. How can you resist my charms.”

Yan Mei rolled her eyes but she had a ghost smile on her lips.

”Narcissistic, are we?” Yan Mei mocked.

”Yes, we are.” Lei Zhao chuckled and just like that the stress and fear of losing Ying Sheng these past few days disappeared.

”I will accompany you on your next therapy.” Lei Zhao said after a few minutes of comfortable silence between them.

Yan Mei nodded, “Alright.”

Maybe with Lei Zhao by her side, she could finally open up.

****************************

”Tch, tch….she looks so happy and I hate it!” A man who was watching Yan Mei and Lei Zhao from far away spat with bitterness laced in his tone.

Why is she happy? She doesn’t deserve to be happy! This happiness only his sister deserves it but…..

The only fault of his sister was to love someone she shouldn’t have.

He could still remember how happy she was about anything she talked about that man on the phone.

But that happiness didn’t last. Everything was snatched away from his precious sister because of this woman.

”Feng Mei…” The man muttered the name and busted into a manic laugh.

”Oh he was going to enjoy this game. Little Kitty,hope you can keep up.” He mumbled.

”How are things going?” He asked his assistant who was standing behind him.

”Good Sir! I have the video prepared and we will release it during her new collection launch.”

The man’s lips curved into a sadistic smile.

”Don’t forget to send her precious husband the copy of the videos. I wonder if he will still love her after seeing what a mess I made her into.”

Shadow who was hiding in the trees frowned when he heard the man. He has seen people spying on Yan Mei in the shadows but he did nothing because he wanted to see what they were going to do or who they were.

But he was still confused about what they were talking about. He met Yan Mei two years ago so he didn’t know much about the details in her past life. But whoever this man was he was extremely dangerous. Shadow could sense the evil aura radiating from the man.

’What videos? And why is this man keen on destroying Yan Mei?’

He has never met anyone with so much hate brewing in his eyes. Whoever this man was he had to warn Yan Mei.

But…..his mistress seems to be going through a lot of things too. Can he bother her with this?

”Make sure everything goes according to plan. I don’t want any mistakes. Understand?”

The assistant shivered as fear boiled in his veins.

”Y-yes boss.”

No one knows why their boss hates this woman so much. At first they thought their boss was obsessed about the woman because he loves her but later they realized their boss simply hated the woman. His hate was so strong that it had turned into an obsession.
