The pain and Confusion that she experienced. The many years that flew by as she fought for a spot in society were...

A dream?

"Y-YU YAN?"

"What..? D-daiyu, you need to calm down. The doctors will be here soon to run a test. Please calm down...."

The noises in the room became disharmonized.

Ciaos soon followed as many nurses rushed in to calm Daiyu down.

"What happened?!"

"She started to talk nonsense...Saying that I was working and then asking for the year and her age.."

"Why didn't you calm her down when she started to get worked up?"

"I tried but she looked really scared and confused. She kept holding her head and looking at her bruises. "

The nurses and doctors soon stabilized Daiyu and began their notes.

"Was there anything else that happened?"

"Nothing in particul- Oh! She was mumbling Mo lei and Tang young....."

"Do you know these people?"

"No...."

What title did the individuals hold in her head to cause this chaos?!

"Jade!"

The desperate voice of an old man called out.

"Master Zhao."

Doctor Meng respectfully bowed to the nobleman.

"How is she, Did you not say that she was awake?"

"She was awake for a short while, Yu Yan stated that after mumbling a few names she went into a panic."

"What names?-."

Doctor Meng looked at Yu Yan, indicating that she could say the names.

"Mo lei and Tang Young."

"Mo...Tang?"

"Uncle Zhao, do you know who they are?"

"The Mo family is well known. I think Brother Mo Lin had a son by that name...But I am not certain. Now with Tang...That is the name of my assistants' brother...How could Daiyu know of him?...."

Unknown to everyone, Daiyu was not asleep. She had regained composure about 5 minutes after Grandfather entered. She did not know how to face him.

For three years, she walked a lonely road. Constantly begging to see his face but, here he was...Standing before her.

Was this a dream in her dream?

If it was...She did not want to wake up again.

.

.

After listening on for quite some time Daiyu's mind froze...

Mo Lei was REAL?

And tang young was also?...

How could that be? all that she knew was from a dream.

How could it be possible?!

A painful headache soon enveloped her mind.

Scenes from her dream played visibly in her mind.

Grandma and Ms. Liu in the Graveyard.

Mo Lei's memories of Grandfather.

The bracelets!!..

.

.

Grandfather stood frightened at the sight before him. Jade was shivering crazily and doctors earnestly tried to stabilize her again.

"W-what is happening to her?"

"Sir, it might be best if you and Ms. wait outside."

"I want to know if my granddaughter is alrigh-!"

"We can't treat her if we have to watch you as well sir, you have entrusted her with us and we have pulled her from the worst stages. Please have faith in us again."

"Fine."

The old man allowed the nurse to shut the door.

"Uncle Zhao."

A teary-eyed teen called out.

"It is okay child. Zhao Daiyu does not give up so easily. "

"I-I know, it is just that I want her to be ok. "

"Don't we all. I've been wondering...How are you always at the hospital? Don't you have school?"

"How can I care about school when my non-biological sister was fighting for her life?"

The passion that Yu Yan held in her tone warmed his heart.

How long was it that someone other than himself took Daiyu's side and stood by that decision...

"When Daiyu is well enough to leave the hospital, You should come over some times."

"Really?"

"Of course"

Master Zhao invited her to their house.....

He was like a wall, only caving for Daiyu...But he actually invited her over...

"Uncle Zhao I will be there!!!"

"You can hurry home, I will stay with her"

"Ok, Good night"

.

.

3 stressful hours passed and Master Zhao was finally able to re-enter the room.

"If she starts to go into a panic, press this button."

"Ok"

Cautiously, The grandfather neared The bed.

"Jade...Can you hear me?"

"Grandpa!"

The child weakly cried out.

"I am here"

Daiyu forced her lids open and locked eyes with her grandfather.

Master Zhao, with teary eyes, engulfed the child.

"My heart ached for you. How unfair it would have been for you to leave just like that."

"I thought I lost you!"

"Why would you think that?"

"I had a dream.."

"What happened in your dream?"

"You ...died... And Everyone abused me for your fortune. I saw Grandmother having a meeting with men and they traded arsenic for money. She was the one that killed you ... a-and Ms. Liu also cried at your grave while holding three bracelets. Grandma, S-she was meeting with the same guys in the future too...I don't know what they were going to do but she bought another batch of arsenic and the password was black jade... She must have known that your fortune was in the form of jades.. Ms. Liu was also very cautious of her surroundings. Always thinking that she could be followed... ."

Master Zhao froze.

"Y-you saw all of that in your dream?"

"Y-yes, Why have you frozen grandpa?"

"N-nothing. It is all a dream, Do not worry your head anymore."

After their meeting, Master Zhao was completely unsettled.

.

.

(Outside of the Hospital in a Black Car)

Ringgggggggggggg

"Hello?"

"Ms. Liu"

"Master Zhao. How may I help you."

"I might have to speed up that will."

"W-why sir...if I may ask"

"Daiyu just woke up and revealed my secrets to me. She knew about the meaning of the jades and she also confirmed my suspicions of Madam Zhao."

"Y-you mean..."

"Yes, have everything in order. I want to have my will legalized as soon as possible."

"I will have everything set up for midnight."

"Thank you."

Master Zhao bitterly sipped on a glass of red wine.

" It seems as if the universe was using Daiyu to warn me....."
