Siren's Tear

Lorraine was in prison for only 2 days before Chen Sha came to get her back. Because the prison guards knew that she was the commander's wife so they were polite all along and arranged a single cell for her.

It seemed that Consul had let Chen Sha knew only that he was just looking for a reason to detain princess for forty-eight hours to reduce her contact with Yingxian Ye Jie and to avoid another theme park accident.

The next morning

Lorraine had just known that during her two days in prison, Consul had allowed Ye Jie to leave Odin.

Chen Sha opened the closet, took out a coat, and was about to go to work, "Now you should still have time to see Ye Jie off."

"What?" Lorraine didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and rushed pass Chen Sha outward like a storming wind.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, it went dark before her eyes. Her head was covered by a piece of clothing. Chen Sha voice followed, "Today's highest temperature is 13 degrees, put on your jacket."

"Thanks!"

Ye Jie was about to get on the flying car.

"Wait a minute!" Lorraine rushed over, panting.

He was with four undercover police, his left and right was Zi Yan and Zong Li. Ye Jie stared at Lorraine without speaking.

"Can I say a few words with Ye Jie alone?"

"Sure, but we have to hurry up so just do it here!" Zi Yan pulled Zong Li and walked to the back of the flying car, seemed to be very generous.

Lorraine was cheerless. Was this count as speaking alone? Zi Yan's ability was super-hearing, not to mention this distance, even ten times further away, he still could hear everything crystal clear.

But Ye Jie didn't seem to mind it at all and lightly stroked Lorraine's tangled hair, "Why didn't you even comb your hair?"

"I just knew from Feng Lin when got up this morning that you were leaving so I rushed over."

Ye Jie smiled and sighed, "Parting for ten years. Not yet saying goodbye and now we are parting again."

Lorraine heart felt somewhat indescribable lament.

Ye Jie handed her a long and narrow metal jewelry box, "Last time you married, I didn't have time to rush back to see you off, this consider as my compensated wedding gift for you!"

Lorraine held the jewelry box and looked at Ye Jie curiously.

Hiding by their bodies, Ye Jie's fingers wrote in Lorraine's palm: 'The last medicine'

Ye Jie let go of Lorraine and stretched out his little finger. Lorraine vaguely felt as if she had done it many times, and naturally extended out her little finger.

Both hooked each other's little fingers and pressed their thumbs together.

"Kiss of an oath" Ye Jie smiled and let go of his hand then walked towards the flying car.

Zong Li walked straight to Lorraine's front and ordered: "Open the box."

"Zong Li!" Lorraine held the jewelry box tightly and said angrily: "Don't go too far, I'm not your prisoner!"

"Lorraine, since Minister Zong Li wants to see it, let him take a look." Ye Jie leisurely leaned against the flying car,

When Lorraine opened the box, it was a necklace with a drop-shaped sapphire pendant. The color was lustrous, clear and flawless as if condensed from the water essence spirit.

Zong Li took the jewelry box. First carefully inspected the jewelry box then picked up the necklace.

Ye Jie smiled and said, "This gem is called Siren's Tear. I saw it at Al Empire auction a year ago and I thought it suit Lorraine so I bought it."

Zong Li saw a small word 'Lorraine' engraved on the necklace buckle. He put the necklace back into the jewelry box and returned it to Lorraine.

Ye Jie gave Lorraine thumbs up and got on the flying car before disappeared into the sky.

The forest trail

Lorraine put her hands in the pockets of her large coat and walked at a leisurely pace.   

While in prison, her personal terminal was confiscated and could not contact the outside world or use star network, and also did not have any entertainment activities. In the still of the night, she couldn't help but recall the last time she was put in prison.   

Past and present, the face of Dr. Mu and Ye Jie did not stop alternately appearing.   

Back then, Dr. Mu said that he had deep love for Princess Lorraine and had shown her a lot of pictures and information, deceiving her into believing it without any doubt. Now, Ye Jie said that he had deep love for her.  

Could she really believe Ye Jie?

Lorraine didn't know, but who could she believe if not him?

At least…   

In the rock forest, in the death plan she laid, he would rather be wounded to protect her.   

At the moment of life and death, he was willing to give her the small crevice that could only hold one person.   

When she crippled his arms, he obviously could kill her, but he didn't.   

In order to send her medicine, he took the risk coming to Odin Federation alone.

Lorraine walked through the silent woods and stood by the lake.   

Early morning of a weekday, there was no one by the lake, only a few flocks of waterfowls swimming around.

Lorraine found a private corner and sat on the rock by the lake. She watched blankly at those pairs of birds swimming around.

After quite a while, she looked down at the woman reflected in the water.   

She was wearing a men's jacket that didn't fit well, her long hair was not combed and draped unkemptly on her shoulders. Because she stayed in the laboratory all the year round and rarely got sunlight, her pale skin appeared coldness. But probably because of good strength, her dark eyes were bright, her lips were rosy, and her face always tinged with a smile, suppressing that coldness down. But at this moment, the dark eyes were full of sadness, the tight lips revealed tension, and the whole face looked a bit strange.   

Lorraine asked softly, "Who am I after all?"   

The reflection in the water also moved her lips, but did not answer her question.    Lorraine took out the exquisite jewelry box, took out the sapphire necklace and wore it on her neck.   

She looked at the jewelry box back and forth, knocking, squeezing, smashing, and found nothing unusual.

Lorraine recalled their kiss of an oath. Ye Jie gave her a thumbs up at their last farewell.

Lorraine looked at her thumb and looked at the jewelry box. Where the sapphire pendant originally inlaid had a shallow dent, exactly the size of a thumb.

Lorraine looked around and made sure that there was no one.   

She pressed her thumb down. The code lock read the fingerprint, and with a click sound, the interlayer opened, revealing the syringe hidden inside.   

Lorraine carefully took out the syringe and grabbed it tightly in her hand.   

She recalled an ancient saying, "I choked the throat of fate." Her fate was now in her own hands, just only injected medicine into the body, the lost decade of memories would come back, and she would become another person.   

Eleven years of intense and colorful memories would melt or even faded away.   

When Qian Xu had killed himself, she wanted to kill herself too.   

She and Yin Nanzhao would owe no one anything!

Lorraine looked at the woman in the water and smiled nervously at her. She took a deep breath, held the syringe head with her thumb, and injected it into her arm.   

A piece of gravel suddenly flew quickly and hit her arm's joint. Lorraine's hand got numbed and the syringe fell to the ground.   

She endured the pain and hastily picked it up, but someone had already appeared next to her and took the syringe just one step ahead.   

"What is this?" Consul asked.   

"Give it back to me!" Lorraine wanted to snatch it.   

Consul grabbed her arm with another hand and asked angrily: "What exactly did Ye Jie give you? Why did you want to inject yourself? Answer me!"

Lorraine gritted her teeth without saying a word. She kicked and hit like a mad person, only thinking of getting back the medicine.

The strength of two people was greatly different. Consul didn't want to hurt her so he could only dodge from left to right.   

However Lorraine's eyes turned red. Her attacking movements became more and more fierce as if they were enemies of life and death that must have an outcome either she died or he perished.

Consul abruptly waved his hand and threw the syringe out.   

The syringe glided in an arc across the sky and fell into the lake, startled a flock of waterfowls quacking and flying to the sky.   

Lorraine finally stopped her crazy attack and watched waves rippled from the middle of the lake hitting the shore in disbelief.   

In an instant, she suddenly came to a response and was about to jump into the lake with a leap.

Consul hurriedly grabbed her, "The lake underwater current is turbulent, not possible to find it."

Lorraine struggled as if her life depended on it and screaming hoarsely: "Let me go! Let me go..."

Consul couldn't hold her with one hand, so he could only hug her with both arms from behind. Lorraine both kicked and stomped, even bitten and pinched, but still couldn't get away.   

"That is the last medicine! Let me go... please, let me go..." Lorraine's tears rolled down, her voice full of despair.   

This situation, this scene, this seemed to happen before.

In the rock forest, she drenched with blood begged him in despair and sorrow like this too. Consul's hands embracing Lorraine couldn't help trembling. Lorraine suddenly broke free of his restraint, flew forward, and jumped into the lake.

Consul immediately followed and jumped into the lake.

Like last time, there was no way to stop her. He could only helplessly watch her struggling with all her strength for that little faint hope.
