Just To Meet You

*COMPLETED* "If you don't believe me, then follow the family rules." Her eyes closed as she faced her fiancé's accusations and distrust. She inwardly convinced herself. 'This is the last time I'm giving my heart to you, Peter. If you choose her, then we are over.' With a blade in his hand, he charged forward. He watched as the sharp tip of the weapon meets her soft, porcelain chest. Shocked by her unmoving body, he pulled the blade away from the broken skin. Her white top was dyed scarlet while the blade had already dropped to the floor, making a "clang" sound. "Why didn't you dodge?!" Peter Sin attempted few steps forward to apply pressure on her wound. It hurt, but she held in her cries. Blood squirted to his sleeve and shirt when he forced the blade out of her wound. Holding the bloody mess near her heart, a broken smile cracked on her face as she retreated away from the man in front of her. "At the end, you still chose her words over mine. You've never believed in me, but it doesn't matter anymore. Let's break up. Even if we pass by each other in the future, we'll be nothing but strangers." He tried approaching her again, but failed as she strode backwards in larger steps than before. "Mister Sin, goodbye." "Selina!" He screamed, but held back from chasing after her lonesome figure. His heart was a mess as he fell onto the ground and stared at the blood stain on his clothes. __________________ Selina Gu drove straight home where she had prepared herself to announce her failed engagement to her mother, Katrina Gu. Pressing her wound, she slowly leaned against the wall to bring herself to the living room where her mom's voice echoed loudly. Selina: "So, all my life..I've been nothing but a chess piece. Are you done with your game?" Katrina: "...Daughter." Selina: "Daughter? Do you know how many years and efforts I've wanted to hear you call me daughter? But all this is fake. Just an act. I've always convinced myself I'm the one who could do better because I wanted to hear a compliment from you. But you? You've forced me to the edge and suffocated me!" _____________________ Katrina: "It's mother's fault! Don't jump. I'm begging you!" Bryan (Selina's brother): "Did you get bullied? Brother will protect you. Please, come back down! It's dangerous to stand at the edge! You don't know how to swim!" "I don't want to play this game anymore. I'm tired of my life. Didn't you want revenge? I'll complete it for you. Sorry, brother." Selina fell forward with her eyes closed. She didn't struggle as she desired to forget everything. ___________________ Assistant: "Mister Hui, after multiple investigations, we have confirmed that the girl you have been searching for is Selina Gu." _________________ Awakening from her coma after a month later, Selina woke up hearing a familiar voice by her side. Although she couldn't recognize him, her instincts told her he wasn't going to harm her. "Selina! You're awake!" Jason Hui tossed his laptop to the table, ditching the video meeting he was in and hugged her. "Does it hurt anywhere? Are you thirsty? Hungry? I'll go get a doctor!" He spat out countless questions, confusing her greatly. ________________ Jason held her hands, "It's okay if you don't remember me. As long as I remember our promise, that's all it matters. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." _________________ "Jason Hui!" "Wife, if you're not happy about something you just have to say it. No need to shout. You'll get a sore throat." Selina pointed to the rubber band on the counter, "I forgot to tie my hair, but my hands are dirty from marinating meat. Do you know how to tie girl's hair?" A minute later, a messy ponytail was created and Selina looked at him with a speechless expression. Noting to himself on his calendar, he typed, "Learn how to do wife's hair."

Isn't It Weird?

Master Wang's knees bent and his body fell forward. A wide gap was left between his knees as he knelt on the ground with his trembling palms faced upwards. He stared at his hands for minutes until one of the nurses decided to approach him from a distance.

"Sir, are you feeling alright? Do you want to take a seat? Benches are over here." The nurse attempted to help him stand up, however he refused to budge from his position. He muttered countless words that seemed impossible to decode - it sounded foreign.

After trying a few more times, the nurse shrugged and stepped back from him. "Hey, should we call the security? But I feel bad. I heard what the doctor said. His wife won't be able to speak again, and he fell devastated to this extent." The nurse whispered to the other staffs who were currently on post.

While the medical staffs shook their heads, Alfred accompanied Jessica to her room. Isaac also took the opportunity to bring Kyla to one of the examination rooms and made sure Selina and Celinda were with her before walking over to his father. When he closed the distance between them, Isaac bent down and grabbed Master Wang's left arm.

"Get up. You're causing a scene right now. If you don't want to be dragged out or carried out of the hospital, then get up right now." Isaac warned as he pulled his father's arm up.

Finally, Isaac's words triggered a reaction out of Master Wang. Without any warning, he swung his right fist towards Isaac's windpipe. Fortunately, with his quick reflex, Isaac managed to dodge the incoming strike and protect himself.

"So first it was your wife who went crazy enough to commit attempted murder by intruding my wedding and plotting against my wife. Then, we have you here trying to collapse my windpipe. Wow, what a great couple you two are. A great match made in hell." Due to the sudden attack, Isaac released Master Wang's arm.

Almost immediately, Master Wang staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily, there were benches behind him, which prevented him from falling on his back. "You! You imbecile! I don't know what I've done to have given birth to such a bastard like you who treat his own blood related parents like crap! Yes, you have your wife, and that is all you care for now! You get a girlfriend and tossed our family away!"

"What right do you have to say all this? Your wife never treated us as her biological children. And you? Are you not ashamed to even call yourself a father? You even dare to say you are our parents? You two were abusive and manipulative to the point where your eyes would brighten up as long as you see even an extra cent is added to your profit. You would use us as a tool to get what you want."

Anger rose as Isaac reminisced the old times when he would protect Jessica in his arms. He shielded her from punishments and would figure ways to help her escape their claws. They've done so much and now, it was time for him to show them how wrong they were.

"Oh, right. As for giving birth, you do not have such stamina nor ability to give birth to us. Forget about labor. You don't even have the genitals to do so. Unless you want to prove me wrong, if not, then you did not give birth to any of us. As for your wife, the police officers will be waiting for her to wake up before bringing her to the station for some tea. Let the judge be the one who determines who is at fault."

As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac turned around and walked back to the examination room where Kyla was getting her body checked. Seeing Isaac's figure walking away from him, Master Wang pointed at him. He shouted, "you come back here! I am not done!"

"Well, I'm done. If you have anything you want to say, then say it to my lawyer. I will make sure your wife pays for every single thing she has ever done. As for you, you better watch yourself and not make a single mistake from here onwards. If my family loses even a strand of hair, even if it is not you who schemed against us, I will put it on your tab."

Despite the rude curses from behind, Isaac continued walking without looking back. When he reached the examination room, he met Jason, Bryan, Michael and Aaron waiting outside the room. With them there, Isaac felt more at ease.

"Still in there?" Isaac asked.

"Mhm." The guys hummed as they leaned against the wall.

Bryan brought the topic up once again after thinking about it for a while. "Say, what Selina and I said earlier really sounds suspicious. We shouldn't let out guards down. No matter how you think about it, there is something weird about Madam Wang's sudden appearance. Didn't you guys set up private security guards and some undercovers too? How did she bypass them?"

He continued pointing out issues with the situation that happened today. "Not only that, even if Madam Wang did come to commit murder, didn't it sound way too coincidental? Like she can easily bypass the guards and undercovers, then what about the person she was speaking to in the ladies room? Was it her husband? And if so, then why wasn't he a part of it? He literally showed up the latest. The spices too. How could it cause permanent damage to her vocal chords to the extent where she cannot speak again?"

"He has a point." Jason agreed. "There are indeed too many loopholes and unexplainable issues. If we think about it carefully, it feels more like she was trying to cause trouble, but for something else. The main point shouldn't be harming Kyla nor Jessica because she would've gotten caught."

Buzz

The vibration from Jason's phone alerted him instantly. He answered the call as soon as he saw his mother's caller ID. "Hello? Mm. What? Okay, I will give my men instructions. I'll tell you as soon as I get any updates."

Right after his call ended, Jason dialed another number where he commanded his men to search the entire city. "I sent a picture to everyone in the chat just now. Within two hours, locate him. Anyone who is a foe, keep them alive for interrogation. If they threaten the safety of the hostage, then kill."

As soon as he finished the call, he told everyone what had happened. "Grandpa Lun is missing. The last time he was seen was at the wedding when he said he left the wedding gift in his vehicle."
